‘Oh, Oh, Dyane’
Fujifilm X-T10, Fujinon XF 18-55mm f2.8~4 R LM OIS at 42mm, 1/125s, f8, ISO 1600
What was I photographing on this day in previous years?
Two years ago it was this sorry specimen… A Citroën Dyane slowly rotting away in the corner of a field in France.
The title of this image comes from the Fleetwood Mac song ‘Oh Diane’ (on the ‘Mirage’ album). The lyric popped into my head as I was editing the image…

Square Saturday… Funk

Diana+ – Lomo CN 400
I’m obviously still having problems with loading film into my charity shop find Diana+… I’m also getting too close to my subject matter as most of my shots are far too tightly framed, a problem exacerbated by my dodgy film loading technique.
This shot is OK though, something I spotted during a wander around Cosne-sur-Loire in the Nièvre department in central France.
