Monochrome Monday… Park Hill Flats, Sheffield
Park Hill Flats, Sheffield
Nikon F-301, Nikkor 50mm f/1.8 Ai-S, 1/250s, f8 – Ilford Delta 400 Professional rated at ISO 800
Developed in Ilford DD-X at 1:4, 10½ mins at 20°c.
I’ve had a couple of days filing negatives and it’s prompted me to look back at a few older images…
I’ve photographed the Brutalist architecture of Park Hill in Sheffield a few times and no doubt will do so again, the flats really do dominate the Sheffield skyline!
Digitised using Nikon D5600 & AF-S Micro-NIKKOR 40mm f/2.8, Nikon ES-2 Film Digitising Adapter and Negative Lab Pro plugin with minimal cropping and tweaking in Lightroom Classic CC.

Fuji GW 690 Professional, Fuji Photo Film Co EBC Fujinon 90mm f/3.5 – Fujifilm RVP 50 (expired 12/1997)
I’m not sure if Expired Film Day is still a thing… but I still enjoy loading up my cameras with out of date film every March 15!
This image of actor Richard Beckinsale (6/7/1947 – 19/3/79) by the artist Zabou, has only had very slight tweaks to exposure and white balance… 28-year old slide film has no business looking this good!

What was I photographing on this day in previous years?
Six years ago it was the area around London St Pancras station… If memory serves I’d not got a ‘proper’ digital camera with me but had got my iPhone and my Nikon FE2, an image from which can be seen here.
