Fujifilm X-T1, Fujinon XF 18-135mm f3.5~5.6 R LM OIS WR at 55mm, 1/80s, f11, ISO 200

What was I photographing on this day in previous years?

Nine years ago it was boats on the River Trent at Sawley in Derbyshire.

Actually the River Trent forms the border between Derbyshire and Leicestershire here but I think Petrel No.1 is far enough across to still be in Derbyshire!

Nikon NIKOMAT FT, NIKKOR-H 50mm f/2 – Foma Pan 200
Developed in Adox FX-39 II at 1:9, 10 mins at 20°c.

An image from a roll of film that’s been sitting in the camera for three years!

The NIKOMAT FT and NIKKOR-H 50mm f/2 combination is possibly the scruffiest camera I own and is definitely older than I am!

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

Another pic from Port Seton last September. LH.230 is a fishing trawler and was built by Eyemouth Boat Building Co. Ltd. in 1982. The ‘LH’ indicates she’s registered just along the coast at Leith.

We spent a very enjoyable week in East Lothian in September, staying a two minute stroll from Port Seton Harbour. We had a wander down there every day, sometimes to beachcomb, sometimes for fish & chips…

What was I photographing on this day in previous years?

Five years ago it was the picturesque coastal village of Craster in Northumberland during a gap between Covid lockdowns…

The concrete construction at the end of the right hand breakwater is the remains of tower that supported an overhead cable system that used to transfer stone from a quarry west of the village to ships in the harbour.
