Jitty, Ginnel (or Gennel), Twitchel, Twitten or Snicket? What do you call an alleyway like this?

I’ve mentioned before the idea of photographing all the different ways in which house numbers are displayed, ancient and modern, simple or elaborate… maybe it’s time I got on with it?

Throwback Thursday… Radio Times ‘ghost’ sign

Olympus Stylus XZ-10, i.Zuiko 4.7-23.5mm f1.8~2.7 ED at 11.1mm, 1/125s, f8, ISO 160
What was I photographing on this day in previous years?
Four years ago it was this ‘ghost’ sign in Derby. I have a fondness for old painted, carved or tiled signs advertising long defunct businesses and I photograph them whenever possible.
This one has obviously been repainted at some point as two sets of ‘Radio Times’ lettering are clearly visible…

Another image from the first roll of film through my Olympus OM-2 Spot/Program… Is £7.60 a good price for a brush?

Olympus OM-1N, Zuiko Auto-S 50mm f/1.8 – 1/1000s, f4, – Rollei RPX 400 rated at ISO 320
The first weekend in January saw a trip to the National Trust property of Calke Abbey in Derbyshire with my Olympus OM-1N (loaded with Rollei RPX 400) and a couple of Zuiko prime lenses.
I didn’t venture inside the house itself, preferring to wander in the gardens on such an unseasonably warm day.
Sadly it would appear that the OM-1N is in need of new light seals but as soon as I’ve done that little job it’ll be back in use…

Olympus OM-2 Spot/Program, Zuiko Auto-T 100mm f/2.8 – 1/125s, f8½, – Ilford HP5 Plus rated at ISO 640
A wander in the woods last week to have a play with a pinhole camera also gave me the chance to finish off a roll of Ilford HP5 Plus that’s been sitting in an Olympus OM-2 Spot/Program since December…
I certainly had more success with the Olympus than with the pinhole camera, the shots from that definitely won’t be appearing on here!

Yet another shot from my first roll of Rollei RPX 100 film.
Cold and incredibly windy here today… Looking forward to the warmer weather, to days when we can play in the fountains…
