Emma in the Park at Crich Tramway Museum

When we recently went to the Crich tramway museum in Derbyshire I took a lot of pictures with my Pentax K5, but I also took along a Pentax MZ-3 loaded with Ilford HP5+ black & white film. The picture above is one of the pictures I took that day, and developed in Rodinal a couple of days ago.

This was taken with a Sigma 24 to 70 autofocus zoom lens fitted to the MZ-3 set to about 60mm and about f/5.6 aperture which gives a slightly de-focussed background. I had to snap quickly because my daughter doesn't like to have her picture taken!
