Not Lytham St. Anne’s the place but Lytham St. Anne’s the steam locomotive… or parts of it anyway!

This locomotive was built by Peckett & Sons in 1949 as works no.2111 and was used at Blackpool Gasworks. After intial preservation at Lytham St Anne’s it moved to the Midland Railway-Butterley in 1990 where it ran for six years before being withdrawn for overhaul.

‘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!

I did get out with my ONDU 6×6 Pocket pinhole camera last Sunday for Worldwide Pinhole Photography Day and managed to get through a couple of rolls of film…

Seagull WWSC-10, Haiou 75mm f/3.5 – 1/60s, f11, – Fuji Velvia RVP 50 (expired August 1997)

An image from Expired Film Day 2023.

A couple of years ago a pal (Hi Simon!) gave me a quantity of Fuji Provia RDP II 100 and Velvia RVP 50 slide film that had all expired in 1997 or 1998. A bit of research suggested exposing it at box speed and cross my fingers for reasonable results.

Even though I bracketed my exposures this year, every frame of this roll is terribly underexposed… atmospheric though!

Snow kept me indoors last weekend so I attempted some still-life photography using a Mamiya C330f twin-lens reflex camera and a rather interesting accessory called a paramender… I’ll be writing about this setup next week.
