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.

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.

‘Fujica Friday’? Well… why not? Over the years I’ve acquired a few Fujica cameras in 110, 35mm and 6×9 formats, all of which I ought to use more than I do!
