Langley Mill Lock No.14
Langley Mill Lock No.14
Nikon F-501, AF Nikkor 50mm f/1.8 – 1/60s, f5.6, – Foma Pan 200
Developed in Adox FX-39 II at 1:9, 10 mins at 20°c.

An image from my first roll of Foma Pan 200, also the first roll through a new to me Nikon F-501.

The Foma Pan 200/FX-39 II developer combination creates images with good contrast… ideal for a dreich January day!

Digitised using Nikon D5600 & AF-S Micro-NIKKOR 40mm f/2.8, Nikon ES-2 Film Digitising Adapter and Negative Lab Pro plugin with minimal cropping and tweaking in Lightroom Classic CC.

Hunslet class WD 0-6-0ST WD132 at Darley Dale (Peak Rail)
Nikon D600, Nikkor AF-S 24-120mm f/3.5-5.6G at 40mm, 1/60s, f8, ISO 400

What was I photographing on this day in previous years?

Ten years ago it was this Hunslet class WD ‘Austerity’ 0-6-0ST steam locomotive at Darley Dale station at Peak Rail.

Peak Rail was one of the few heritage railways that ran trains in January and February but sadly they haven’t done so for a few years now… I’ll definitely be paying another visit when they do start running in March though!

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.

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.

Yet another image from Gourdon in Scotland… During the week we were there we may have popped into the Harbour Bar once or twice 😜

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.
