What was I photographing on this day in previous years?
Seven years ago it was this Rudbeckia hirta ‘Sunbeckia Luna’ flower (at least I think that’s what it is…)
I could probably pick fault with the quality this image in a number of ways but as it makes me smile I won’t!
Here endeth today’s lesson! 😁

The recent hot weather has seen me dabbling in infrared photography, both with film and digital.
The roll of Adox HR-50 awaits developing but this image was taken with my Fujifilm X-E4, 16mm lens and a Hoya R72 filter.
Nothing complicated on the settings front, aperture priority automatic and the monochrome+red filter…

What was I photographing on this day in previous years?
Twelve years ago it was Stephenson’s Rocket! (albeit the replica built by Locomotion Enterprises (1975) Ltd in 1979).
This replica of the famous 1829 original was in action at the National Railway Museum at York, running up and down the Warehouse Line with a replica Liverpool and Manchester Railway 2nd class coach (built in 1930) and I managed a ride in the latter…
