Monochrome Monday… Shoppers, Fargate

Shoppers, Fargate
Nikon F-301, Nikkor 105mm f/2.5 Ai-S, 1/500s, f16 – Ilford Delta 400 Professional rated at ISO 800
Developed in Ilford DDX at 1:4, 10½ mins at 20°c.
An image from last January, shoppers cast shadows along Fargate in Sheffield…
Even with the 105mm’s built-in lens hood there’s still a reduction in contrast and a little flare but I quite like it.
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.
Single frame… D237, the road to Les Blanchards

A view of Montrose (road) Bridge seen from beneath the South Esk Rail Viaduct in October 2022.
The pretty uninspiring road bridge opened to traffic in 2004 and replaced a much more visually interesting structure dating from 1930. The 1430ft long South Esk Rail Viaduct was built by the North British Railway (NBR) in 1881 and carries a single-track section of the Edinburgh-Aberdeen main line.
