A photo from this time two years ago, taken during one of my frequent wanders around the City of Sheffield.

If memory serves it was taken for an architectural photography challenge on Twitter…

Digitised using Nikon D5600 & AF-S Micro-NIKKOR 40mm f/2.8 and Nikon ES-2 Film Digitising Adapter with minimal cropping and tweaking in Lightroom Classic CC.

Some more Fujichrome from 2001 for today’s Slide Film Sunday.

This Great Western Railway (GWR) 4900 ‘Hall’ class 4-6-0 steam loco was photographed at the Didcot Railway Centre in Oxfordshire… another place I really must revisit!

Again I’ve got no idea of the details of this dimly lit interior shot other than the film is probably Fujichrome Sensia and I almost certainly wasn’t using a tripod!

Throwback Thursday… Nottingham

Fujifilm X-E1, Fujinon XF 18-55mm f2.8~4 R LM OIS at 23mm, 1/170s, f8, ISO 200

What was I photographing on this day in previous years?

Nine years ago it was a couple of odd corners of the city of Nottingham.

Designed by T.C. Hine, the Great Northern Railway (GNR) corn warehouse dates from 1857 and is Grade II Listed but was badly damaged by fire in 1998 and as far as I’m aware is still standing but derelict.

This Reliant 5cwt van was perched on top of a container and advertising ‘Lady Bay Independant Car Breakers’ near the racecourse in Colwick. The 5cwt van was the predecessor of the ‘Supervan’ that was made famous by the BBC sitcom Only Fools and Horses.
