I’m building up quite a backlog of black & white film developing at the moment… so here’s a pic from March 2024!

Minolta Dynax 800si, Tamron SP AF 28-75mm f/2.8 XR Di LD at 35mm, 1/250s, f11 – Ilford Delta 400 Professional
Developed in Ilford Ilfotec DD-X at 1:4, 8 mins at 20°c.

Darlington’s Brick Train was created by David Mach in 1997 to celebrate the town’s railway heritage, and is modelled on the steam locomotive Mallard, which set a UK rail speed record of 126 miles per hour in 1938. The locomotive is depicted as if just having exited a tunnel, with the billowing smoke typical of such an exit.

The Minolta Dynax 800si is a chunky beast (especially with the Tamron SP lens attached) but I love using it and really don’t mind carrying it around…

Park Hill Flats, Sheffield
Nikon F-301, Nikkor 50mm f/1.8 Ai-S, 1/250s, f8 – Ilford Delta 400 Professional rated at ISO 800
Developed in Ilford DD-X at 1:4, 10½ mins at 20°c.

I’ve had a couple of days filing negatives and it’s prompted me to look back at a few older images…

I’ve photographed the Brutalist architecture of Park Hill in Sheffield a few times and no doubt will do so again, the flats really do dominate the Sheffield skyline!

Another image of Burbage Brook from September last year… Judging by how thin the negative is I don’t think I adjusted the exposure when I switched from a 0.6ND to a 1.2ND filter.

I’m slowly getting back to posting regularly now the incredibly busy (and tiring) month of December is (almost) over…

This bridge across Burbage Brook in the Peak District is a very popular spot with visitors but it’s still possible to get a few quiet moments…
