[flightsonpoints]

A couple of months ago i happened to come across redemption seats to Hong Kong for Easter on Cathay Pacific with Qantas points, return flights booked with Krisflyer miles os SQ all in J.

Outbound MEL-BNE QF, BNE-HKG-BKK CX
Return BKK-SIN-MEL SQ

Stay was 3 nights at Sofitel Sukhumvit, 3 nights at Park Hyatt Bangkok and 1 night at Crowne Plaza Changi.

Last year i started taking photos on film after 25 years, BW film is my preference and all the shots below are taken on Ilford XP2.

Great photos - would love to see some colour ones as well

B&W and using film makes for special photos - there is a different feel to them which makes them more interesting in many ways to digital.

I also love these photos. They mostly feel retro and minimalistic to me, in a good way.

A few more from a roll I developed yesterday I love taking photos at airports and yes film is so different it captures everything in a different light.

How do you get your film developed @flightsonpoints? Or do you do it yourself as part of the enjoyment?

Just at the local photo lab. Ilford XP2 is processed in C41 chemistry which is for colour film and goes in regular film processors.
There is true BW film like Ilford HP5 which is done by hand, Ilford sells home kits for development but I haven’t done that since I was at school .

Your photos seem to have so much more depth, making usual photos seem quite 2D (even though I'm looking at them on a phone)
