Langley Mill Lock No.14
Langley Mill Lock No.14
Nikon F-501, AF Nikkor 50mm f/1.8 – 1/60s, f5.6, – Foma Pan 200
Developed in Adox FX-39 II at 1:9, 10 mins at 20°c.

An image from my first roll of Foma Pan 200, also the first roll through a new to me Nikon F-501.

The Foma Pan 200/FX-39 II developer combination creates images with good contrast… ideal for a dreich January day!

HE class WD 0-6-0ST WD132 (originally works no.3163 of 1944)-20130112 (Peak Rail)
Hunslet class WD 0-6-0ST WD132 at Darley Dale (Peak Rail)
Nikon D600, Nikkor AF-S 24-120mm f/3.5-5.6G at 40mm, 1/60s, f8, ISO 400

What was I photographing on this day in previous years?

Ten years ago it was this Hunslet class WD ‘Austerity’ 0-6-0ST steam locomotive at Darley Dale station at Peak Rail.

Peak Rail was one of the few heritage railways that ran trains in January and February but sadly they haven’t done so for a few years now… I’ll definitely be paying another visit when they do start running in March though!
