Monochrome Monday… Shoppers, Fargate

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.

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.

A couple of images from January 2001 (or possibly December 2000… I’m not sure) for today’s ‘Slide Film Sunday’.

As usual I’ve no notes for these images but I’m reasonably sure the camera/film combo was Nikon F90X Pro/Fujichrome Sensia.
