What was I photographing on this day in previous years?

Five years ago it was the flora and fauna at Straws Bridge nature reserve near Ilkeston in Derbyshire.

I’m not sure but I think I was experimenting with a Fujifilm MCEX-11 Extension Tube that day…

Monochrome Monday… Burbage Brook

Bronica ETRSi, Zenzanon MC 50mm f/2.8 + 1.2ND filter – ½s, f16, – Kodak T-Max 100
Developed in Ilford Ilfotec DD-X at 1:4, 7 mins at 20°c.

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.

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 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…
