Monochrome Monday… Belper Mill and The Triangle, March 2021
Belper Mill and The Triangle, March 2021
Ondu 6×6 Pocket Pinhole + ND8 filter, 90s, f167 – Foma Pan 100
Developed in Adox Rodinal at 1:25, 4 mins at 20°c.
Another image of Belper East Mill, this time with ‘The Triangle’ in the foreground.
‘The Triangle’ was created c.1900 when a number of houses were demolished to improve the road juction here. It was used as the turning circle for the Derby-Belper bus from the end of the First World War until the 1970s.

Worldwide Pinhole Photography Day 2021
Apple blossom
Fujifilm X-T1, thingyfy 11mm Pinhole Pro S + 16mm extension tube, 3.5s, f193, ISO 200
Today is Worldwide Pinhole Photography Day and all being well I’ll be out and about somewhere with my ONDU 6×6 Pocket pinhole camera.
This image was captured yesterday, using a thingyfy Pinhole Pro S ‘lens’ mounted on my Fujifilm X-T1 via a Fujifilm MCEX-16 extension tube giving (if my calculations are correct) a 27mm focal length with an aperture of f193.
It was also the first time I’ve used a Wimberley Plamp, a very useful bit of kit…
Monochrome Monday… Green Lane, Middleton Top

Canon EOS 600, EF 40mm f/2.8 STM, 1/250, f11 – Kodak Tri-X
Developed in Adox Rodinal at 1:25, 7 mins at 20°c.
Another image from my recent visit to Middleton Top on the High Peak Trail in Derbyshire.
I’m not completely certain but I think this track was at one time a railway line linking quarries at Middleton village to the Cromford and High Peak Railway.

Another fire-damaged rusty road vehicle pic! How (and why) does a car door end up in the woods?

Monochrome Monday… Reflections, Trent & Mersey Canal
Reflections, Trent & Mersey Canal
Nikon F-601, AF NIKKOR 35-70mm f/3.3-4.5 at 50mm, 1/250s, f8; – Ilford Delta 400 Professional rated at ISO 800
Developed in Ilford DDX at 1:4, 10½ mins at 20°c.
This is one of the few salavagable shots from a test roll I shot in a Nikon F-601 before Christmas…
Sadly the camera has a couple of faults that render it pretty much unusable, the shutter release has a ‘hair trigger’ and towards the end of the roll the shutter would fire whenever the camera was switched on or off… A real shame, my first Nikon was an F-601 (in 1993/94 I think) and I was hoping to take this one on a trip down memory lane.

Some more Kodak Tri-X, correctly rated this time…
Although fishing is allowed under in the current lockdown (as a form of exercise apparently) the ‘pegs’ at Pinxton Wharf were unsurprisingly empty on this particularly cold February day.

Square Saturday… Aysgarth Falls
Aysgarth Falls
Bronica SQ-A, Zenzanon-S 80mm f/2.8 – Fuji Superia 100
I haven’t posted a ‘Square Saturday’ in a while… this one is a bit of a test, my first medium format image digitised using the pixl-latr and also the first colour negative.
I’ve no notes for this image but I’m certain it was shot in May 2003, using a friend’s (Hi Dave!) Bronica SQ-A and standard 80mm lens. A neutral density was also obviously used (likely the Lee 100mm 0.6 I’ve had for years).
I really should do a scan of the negative to compare it with but I’m rather pleased with this version…
