Nikon F3HP, NIKKOR 105mm f/2.5 AI-S – Ilford HP5 Plus rated at ISO 800
Developed in Ilford DDX at 1:4, 10 mins at 20°c.

Suffering from tinnitus means I don’t photograph nearly as much live music as I used to but when I found out Freeway were playing outdoors at one of my favourite local micropubs, The Bunny Hop Ale House I thought I’d go along and take a few pics (and have a pint or two!)

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.

Nikon F-601, AF Nikkor 35-70mm f/3.3-4.5 – 1/60s, f8, – Foma Pan 200
Developed in Adox FX-39 II at 1:9, 10 mins at 20°c.

I really should spend more time in my local park, it’s a lovely spot to soak up the sun and watch the world go by…

The Crossley Park bandstand dates from 1999 and regular brass band concerts are held in it during the summer months. It replaced the 1937 original that was destroyed by fire in 1997.

British Railways class 4MT 2-6-4T 80002
Nikon D600, Nikkor AF-S 24-120mm f/3.5-5.6G at 120mm, 1/200s, f7.1, ISO 640

What was I photographing on this day in previous years?

Ten years ago it was this British Railways standard class 4MT 2-6-4T steam locomotive at Keighley station on the Keighley & Worth Valley Railway.

The tight curve and steep gradient out of Keighley station always makes locomotives work hard and there are a number of spots from which interesting and dramatic images can be captured.
