Olympus Stylus XZ-10, i.Zuiko 4.7-23.5mm f1.8~2.7 ED at 13.2mm, 1/500s, f2.4, ISO 100

What was I photographing on this day in previous years?

10 years ago it was the ‘Love Locks’ adorning Weir Bridge in Bakewell, Derbyshire…

An estimated 40,000 locks were removed from the bridge in September 2004 and the bridge redesigned to prevent more locks being attached. The locks were relocated to nearby Thornbridge Hall where they now form ‘The Love Locker’.

I wonder if Lewis and Kathryn are still together?

Olympus XA4 – Kentmere Pan 100
Developed in Ilford Ilfotec DD-X at 1:4, 10½ mins at 20°c.

The first image from a recently acquired Olympus XA4.

The Olympus XA series had passed me by until I received an XA (the rangefinder model) a few years ago from an EMULSIVE Secret Santa and since then I’ve picked up a couple of XA2s and now an XA4.

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.

Developed in Ilford DDX at 1:4, 8 mins at 20°c.

A recently developed image from a roll of film that’s been lurking in a camera for four years!

I really must take my Olympus μ[mju:] Zoom 115 out with me more often.
