A bit of an ‘oops!’ moment here… This roll of film was finished back in March but had been lurking in the camera, forgotten, since October 2018!

I’m not sure if Expired Film Day is still a thing… but I still enjoy loading up my cameras with out of date film every March 15!

This image of actor Richard Beckinsale (6/7/1947 – 19/3/79) by the artist Zabou, has only had very slight tweaks to exposure and white balance… 28-year old slide film has no business looking this good!

Another image of Burbage Brook from September last year… Judging by how thin the negative is I don’t think I adjusted the exposure when I switched from a 0.6ND to a 1.2ND filter.

I’m slowly getting back to posting regularly now the incredibly busy (and tiring) month of December is (almost) over…

This bridge across Burbage Brook in the Peak District is a very popular spot with visitors but it’s still possible to get a few quiet moments…
