Chesterfield’s famous Crooked Spire, photographed during the town’s 1940s market a couple of weeks ago.

I wasn’t sure how this roll would turn out… the camera, a Seagull twin-lens reflex, had been playing up during the previous roll.

Ripley’s ‘Pit Top Arch’ has featured here before and no doubt will do so again…

Seagull 4A, Haiou-31 75mm f/3.5 – 1/60s, f4 – Kodak Portra 160 rated at ISO 100

Yes it’s that pylon again! I think this is its first time in colour though…

I’ve recently started re-digitising some of my older negatives to take advantage of the Negative Lab Pro plug-in for Lightroom that’s now part of my workflow.

The original scan of this image was quite cold, not how I remember that particular evening’s light at all but Negative Lab Pro’s conversion is pretty much spot on!

Square Saturday… Park Square, Sheffield

Park Square, Sheffield
Seagull WWSC-10, Haiou 75mm f/3.5 – 1/60s, f11, – Fuji Velvia RVP 50 (expired August 1997)

An image from Expired Film Day 2023.

A couple of years ago a pal (Hi Simon!) gave me a quantity of Fuji Provia RDP II 100 and Velvia RVP 50 slide film that had all expired in 1997 or 1998. A bit of research suggested exposing it at box speed and cross my fingers for reasonable results.

Even though I bracketed my exposures this year, every frame of this roll is terribly underexposed… atmospheric though!
