Fujifilm X-E1, Fujinon XF 18-55mm f2.8~4 R LM OIS at 50mm, 1/240s, f8, ISO 200
What was I photographing on this day in previous years?
11 years ago it was this seaside scene in Sidmouth… my bird identification skills aren’t great but I believe this is a European herring gull (Larus argentatus).

W.E. Savage & Son
Fujifilm X-E1, Fujinon XF 14mm f/2.8 R, 1/170s, f8, ISO 400
What was I photographing on this day in previous years?
11 years ago it was this somewhat neglected corner of Derby…
Pics of W.E. Savage have appeared on the blog before, here and here but I don’t think I’ve published a pic of the ‘Glam Boutique’ pinup before.

Nikon Zoom 310AF QD, Nikon Zoom 35-70mm f/3.5-6.5 at 70mm – Kentmere Pan 400
Developed in Ilford DD-X at 1:4, 11½ mins at 20°c.
I had this Nikon Zoom 310AF QD in the drawer for years but only in January did I put a roll of film through it!
I’m quite pleased with the results, the lens is sharp (or sharp enough) and the exposures all look fine…
A camera to use more often I think!
Throwback Thursday… Turning of the Tide, Sidmouth
Turning of the Tide, Sidmouth
Nikon D600, NIKKOR 50mm f/1.8 Ai-S, 10s, f8, ISO 100
What was I photographing on this day in previous years?
12 years ago it was this seascape at Sidmouth in Devon, using (I think) an ND 3.0 (10-stop) filter to lengthen the exposure time.
Editing this pic in Lightroom reminded me (again) of how dirty the sensor on the D600 used to get… definitely the worst camera I’ve ever owned for that!

Developed in Ilford Ilfotec DD-X at 1:9, 9 mins at 20°c.
We’ve not had a ‘Square Saturday’ post in a while… This image is from January this year, taken on my first (but definitely not my last) visit to Sheffield General Cemetery.
Digitised using Nikon D5600 & AF-S Micro-NIKKOR 40mm f/2.8, pixl-latr, CineStill CS-LITE and Negative Lab Pro plugin with minimal cropping and tweaking in Lightroom Classic CC.

Sony α NEX-F3, Sigma 30mm f/2.8 DN Art, 1/320s, f2.8, ISO 200
What was I photographing on this day in previous years?
Two years ago it was this beautiful glass candlestick from San Gimignano in Italy.
I acquired the Sony NEX-F3 as part of a job lot of non-working cameras but all it needed was a new battery to get it working!
