Throwback Thursday… Alleyway
Alleyway, February 2015
Fujifilm X-E1, Fujinon XF 35mm f1.4, 1/30s, f1.4, ISO 3200
What was I photographing on this day in previous years?
Four years ago it was this alleyway…
Throwback Thursday… S and L Ltd, Langley Mill Basin
S and L Ltd, Langley Mill Basin
Fujifilm X-E1, Fujinon XC 50-230mm f4.5~6.7 OIS at 107mm, 1/250s, f5.6, ISO 200
What was I photographing on this day in previous years?
Four years ago I was wandering around Langley Mill basin on the Erewash Canal and this barge rudder caught my eye.
I believe the ‘S and L Ltd’ refers to the firm of Stewarts & Lloyds Ltd who owned and operated a fleet of canal boats until the 1970s.

Fujifilm X-T10, thingyfy 11mm Pinhole Pro S, 1.1s, f79, ISO 400
Last year I posted an image taken using a Wanderlust Pinwide 22mm pinhole lens on a Panasonic Lumix GF-1 and mentioned that I was rather tempted to find something similar for my Fujifilm X system.
Ten months later (and thanks to an eBay bargain), I have, in the shape of the thingyfy Pinhole Pro S and the above image is one of my first taken with it.
The effective aperture of f79 isn’t particularly ‘pinholey’ and as a result the image is very soft but I have a cunning plan to both reduce the angle of view (which is very wide at 11mm) and the effective aperture…

Throwback Thursday… Tightrope practise, Brighton
Tightrope practise, Brighton
Fujifilm X-T1, Fujinon XF 18-135mm f3.5~5.6 R LM OIS WR at 52mm, 1/950s, f11, ISO 400
What was I photographing on this day in previous years?
Two years ago I was exploring Brighton when I came across a lad practising his tightrope skills on the remnants of the West Pier.
In the 15 minutes I was watching he only fell off once!

Nikon D600, Nikkor AF 50mm f/1.4D, 1/160s, f11, ISO 200
A shot from the digital archives today… I remember getting more than a few strange looks as I stood in the middle of Listergate in Nottingham, apparently photographing people’s feet!
I sometimes miss the low light performance of the full-frame Nikon D600 but I don’t miss the weight or bulk (or the perpetually grubby sensor!)
