Aqueduct Cottage has featured on this blog at least once before, here, coincidentally taken using another tiny point & shoot camera, the Canon Sure Shot Sleek.

The cottage has been extensively restored in the intervening four years and to my eyes is less appealing to photograph but the team behind the restoration has some interesting plans for Peter Nightingale’s cottage.

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

I’m not over fond of zoom lens compact/point & shoot cameras but the Fujifilm DL-270 Zoom seems fairly capable. Not bad for a fiver!

Another image from the Nikon TW20 today…

Great Northern Basin on the Cromford Canal at Langley Mill in Derbyshire. I say ‘Cromford Canal’ but the basin was originally part of the mostly abandoned Nottingham Canal that passed under what is now the A608 road just to the right of The Great Northern pub, visible in the background.

Monochrome Monday… Cobweb Bridge, Sheffield

I’ve mentioned my fondness for twin lens (rather than zoom lens) 35mm compact camera before and this roll of Kosmo Foto Mono film has been lurking in one, the Nikon TW20, for a while.

Opened in 2002 the Cobweb Bridge was designed by Sheffield City Council’s Structures Section and carries the Five Weirs Walk under the Wicker Arches railway viaduct while linking one bank of the River Don to the other. The web of steel support wires give the bridge its name. Just visible overhead are the large steel spiders that conceal the lighting.
