What was I photographing on this day in previous years?

Eight years ago it was this sculpture by Liz Lemon and Gwen Heeney… I’m not sure if it has an official name but it’s known locally as the ‘Pit Top Arch’ as it stands on the site of Ripley Colliery.

Originally the arch was mirrored by a seating area but this was removed some years ago, presumably because people would insist on sitting there… 🙄

The Fujifilm X20 has recently returned after a period out on loan to a friend and I’ve started using it again.

Nikon F-801s, AF Nikkor 24-50mm f/3.3-4.5 at 50mm, 1/15s, f11 – Fujifilm Neopan Across II
Developed in Ilford DD-X at 1:4, 9 mins at 20°c.

An image from a recent(ish) trip to Sheffield… I love the tiled ‘Gilmour’s Windsor Ales’ sign, one of a few still to be found in the area (Gilmour’s was a Sheffield brewery acquired by Joshua Tetley & Son Ltd in 1954).

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.

From the sublime (the Fujica GW 690 Professional) to the ridiculous for this week’s ‘Fujica Friday’ post… the 110 Fujica Pocket 350 Zoom (a camera I still need to write a post about!)

Digitised using Nikon D5600 & AF-S Micro-NIKKOR 40mm f/2.8, pixl-latr (with a 110 insert from Simon Forster Photographic) and Negative Lab Pro plugin with minimal cropping and tweaking in Lightroom Classic CC.
