The Trade Federation arrive at Roker

Developed in Ilford DDX at 1:4, 9 mins at 20°c.
‘The Trade Federation arrive at Roker’ is a slightly obscure Star Wars reference but it was the first thing I thought when this scene presented itself…

Slide Film Sunday… Pont de l’Archevêché, Octobre 2000
Pont de l’Archevêché, Octobre 2000
An image from September 2000 for today’s ‘Slide Film Sunday’
My first visit to Paris (on honeymoon no less) was when I started to make a conscious effort to include people in my images, the couple chatting on the river bank really making this image for me…

Throwback Thursday… Wensley Park, October 2007

Nikon D80, AF-S NIKKOR 18-135mm f/3.5-56G ED at 90mm, 1/500s, f5.6, ISO 200
What was I photographing on this day in previous years?
14 years ago I was snapping away on a walk through Wensleydale (‘cracking cheese Gromit!’)
This image proves that it’s worth turning around to look where you’ve been from time to time… this clump of trees in Wensley Park was only lit like this for a few seconds!

Developed in Ilford DDX at 1:4, 8 mins at 20°c.
An image from a stroll along the Trent & Mersey Canal with my partner in (photographic) crime Rachel back in August.
I liked the contrast between the harsh lines of the electricity pylons and the softer lines of the reeds and their reflection…

Slide Film Sunday… Little Ruddington
Little Ruddington, September 1999
An image from September 1999 for today’s ‘Slide Film Sunday’
And an image that made me chuckle when I spotted it whilst looking for something else entirely!
‘Little Ruddington’ is a station on the miniature railway at what was then the Nottingham Transport Heritage Centre (now the Nottingham Heritage Railway) and I just liked the combination of sign and scaled down London & North Eastern Railway class A2 4-6-2 steam locomotive 60532 ‘BLUE PETER’ (7.25 inch gauge I think).

Throwback Thursday… ‘Who Stole Bongo’s Trousers?’
John Cooper Clarke
Nikon D300, AF NIKKOR 85mm f/1.8D, 1/100s, f2.8, ISO 1600
What was I photographing on this day in previous years?
Ten years ago it was legendary performance poet John Cooper Clarke doing his stuff at The Flowerpot in Derby.
It was an absolutely fantastic evening of poetry, humour and anecdotes with the highlight for me being the poem (and preamble to) “Bongo’s Trousers”, the opening line of which forms the title of this post.

Nikon FA, Nikkor 50mm f/1.4 Ai-S – Kodak T-Max P3200 rated at ISO 1600
Developed in Ilford DDX at 1:4, 9 mins at 20°c.
An image from a roll of film that’s been lurking in a camera for almost a year…
Matlock isn’t the worst railway station I’ve waited for the last train at, not by a long shot (I think that ‘honour’ falls to another Derbyshire station though… Langley Mill!)
