This was a photo taken during a recent trip to Limerick, Ireland.  I like the myriad textures in it, although I wish I'd shot it using different film - this was on Ilford Delta 3200 shot at ISO800.  It lacks the warmth a film like FP4+ might have given it; I might try printing it on warmer paper, or even maybe giving it the Lith printing treatment.  Still, I thought it was worth a go printing it anyway so here it is.

This is a short guide written to explain how to develop CR46 or E6 colour slide film yourself 'in the kitchen.' Commercial slide processing is not only hard to find these days (most high street photo shops will have to send it away if they handle it at all,) but also expensive.
