What was I photographing on this day in previous years?

Eight years ago it was the Norfolk coastline…

Happisburgh lighthouse must be one of the most photographed structures in Norfolk and I certainly couldn’t resist pointing my camera at it…

For the pillbox fans out there the above structure is a type FW3/26, dating from 1940/early 1941.

What was I photographing on this day in previous years?

Twelve years ago it was fishing boats on the beach at Aldeburgh in Suffolk.

Yet another place on my ‘must revisit’ list!

Monochrome Monday… Roker, February 2022

Ondu 135 Panoramic Pinhole + ND6 filter, 25s, f167 – Kosmo Foto Mono
Developed in Adox Rodinal at 1:50, 9 mins at 20°c.

The first roll of film through my Ondu 135 Panoramic pinhole camera wasn’t a total success, the first half of the roll suffering from overlapping frames as a result of me not counting ‘clicks’ correctly as the film’s sprocket holes catch on a small ‘tongue’ as the film is wound on…

I did eventually realise there is a definite ‘click, click, CLICK!’ though and counting the ‘CLICK’ has prevented overlapping frames.
