Aug 29: Very retro

Not only am I shooting film, I've started using a fountain pen. I've just bought this bottle of Diamine Blue Black, abandoning even the convenience of plug-in cartridges. But the joy of inking a pen from a bottle. A bit like loading a film!

Canon EOS 5D
1/50s f/4.0 at 100.0mm iso400 full exif

other sizes: small medium original auto
