Nikon FA, Nikkor 35mm f/2 Ai-S + R72 filter – 8s, f16, – Adox HR-50
Developed in Ilford Ilfotec DD-X at 1:4, 7½ mins at 20°c.

An image from this time last year! At first the roll was in the ‘to be developed’ queue and then it was in the ‘to be digitised’ queue!

…and I really must get some more Adox HR-50!

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.

Throwback Thursday… Morecambe Bay, July 2014

Morecambe Bay, July 2014Morecambe Bay, July 2014
Nikon D600, AF-S NIKKOR 24-85mm f/3.5-4.5G ED VR at 75mm, 1/500s, f8, ISO 200

What was I photographing on this day in previous years?

12 years ago it was Morecambe Bay and the distant Heysham Nuclear Power Station.

The light was constantly changing thanks to a combination of clouds and a strong wind and had we not been on our way elsewhere I would’ve spent a lot more time here (although I can’t remember exactly where ‘here’ was!)

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!

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.

Today is Worldwide Pinhole Photography Day and I’ve been out snapping with my Ondu 6×6 Pocket Pinhole camera and Fujifilm X-mount fit thingyfy Pinhole Pro S ‘lens’ mounted on my Fujifilm X-E4.

This particular location has appeared on this blog a couple of times before, here and here and will no doubt do so again…

Developed in Ilford DD-X at 1:4, 11½ mins at 20°c.

I had this Nikon Zoom 310AF QD in the drawer for years but only in January did I put a roll of film through it!

I’m quite pleased with the results, the lens is sharp (or sharp enough) and the exposures all look fine…

A camera to use more often I think!

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…
