The memorial to all who served at R.A.F. Sutton Bridge in Lincolnshire, photographed during a trip to Norfolk in September. The propeller blade is from a Hawker Hurricane.

The structure in the background is Cross Keys Bridge, a swing bridge spanning the River Nene. From 1897 until 1965 the bridge carried both the A17 road and the Midland & Great Northern Joint Railway line from Spalding to King’s Lynn. Now it just carries the A17.

You might have noticed my fondness for classic motorcycles… This beautiful 1943 BSA M20 was photographed at one of the local ‘mustn’t miss’ events, the annual Classic Motorcycle Day at Crich Tramway Village in Derbyshire.

Monochrome Monday… Fountains Abbey with the Nikon F80

A couple of photographs of Fountains Abbey in North Yorkshire, taken with the Nikon F80 back in March this year.

I know I say this a lot but I really do need to make more notes when I’m out snapping! I’m certain the above pic is the west wall of the guest houses but I’m much less certain about the pic below…

I think it’s the remains of a staircase linking the Gallery to The Infirmary to the Abbot’s Gallery but I’m happy to be corrected!

The Nikon F80/AF NIKKOR 28-80mm f/3.5-5.6D is a combo I can see getting lots more use… it’s so lightweight!

Single frame… of Lomography Metropolis

A few weeks ago I shot a roll of Lomography Metropolis film in a Canon EOS 500N that I found at a car boot sale (for a fiver, complete with EF 35-80mm f/4.5.6 lens!) back in June…

I didn’t know what to expect from either the film or the camera but quite like the muted tones of the former and the light weight of the latter!
