What was I photographing on this day in previous years?

Eleven years ago it was the Light Clock at the Royal Derby Hospital.

Designed and installed by world-renowned clockmakers, Smiths of Derby, the clock represents “The Lady with the Lamp”, Florence Nightingale, the founder of modern nursing who was brought up in Derbyshire and corresponded with Dr William Ogle of Derbyshire Royal Infirmary in 1860 regarding the rebuilding of the hospital.

Olympus XA4 – Kentmere Pan 100
Developed in Ilford Ilfotec DD-X at 1:4, 10½ mins at 20°c.

The first image from a recently acquired Olympus XA4.

The Olympus XA series had passed me by until I received an XA (the rangefinder model) a few years ago from an EMULSIVE Secret Santa and since then I’ve picked up a couple of XA2s and now an XA4.

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.

Developed in Ilford Ilfosol-S at 1:9, 8½ mins at 20°c.

A bit of an ‘oops!’ moment here… This roll of film was finished back in March but had been lurking in the camera, forgotten, since October 2018!

Digitised using Nikon D5600 & AF-S Micro-NIKKOR 40mm f/2.8, pixl-latr and Negative Lab Pro plugin with minimal cropping and tweaking in Lightroom Classic CC.

Another pic of the mural by Anna Wheelhouse that adorns The Quadrant, a multi-purpose venue next to Beeston Library… again from Expired Film Day but this time taken on a Balda Baldessa found in a charity shop that very day for the princely sum of £4.00!
