Photography & General Ramblings…
Roker Lighthouse, August 2021
Fujifilm X-T2, Fujinon XF 18-135mm f3.5~5.6 R LM OIS WR at 135mm, 1/125s, f11, ISO 200
What was I photographing on this day in previous years?
Five years ago it was Roker Pier and Lighthouse, on a very blustery day!
The seabirds definitely add to the picture but a just a bit too far away for me, with my limited bird identification skills, to tell what they are.
Another pic of the pier and lighthouse, from the same day, can be found here.
Seaside stripes and seagull
Fujifilm X-E1, Fujinon XF 18-55mm f2.8~4 R LM OIS at 50mm, 1/240s, f8, ISO 200
What was I photographing on this day in previous years?
11 years ago it was this seaside scene in Sidmouth… my bird identification skills aren’t great but I believe this is a European herring gull (Larus argentatus).

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.

Pylon Down… In colour!
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!

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!
