A little while back I picked up a Nikon F65 35mm SLR camera for wifey from Harrison Cameras and shot a test roll of film almost immediately… What I didn’t do quite as promptly however, was develop the film!
Better late than never eh?

Throwback Thursday… Newark Air Museum

Fujifilm X-T10, Fujinon XF 18-55mm f2.8~4 R LM OIS at 24.3mm, 1/60s, f5.6, ISO 800
What was I photographing on this day in previous years?
Seven years ago it was exhibits at the fantastic Newark Air Museum in Nottinghamshire.
The Hunting Jet Provost is a type of aircraft I saw regularly as a child, on training sorties from (I believe) Royal Air Force (RAF) Cranwell.
Vickers Varsity T.1 WF369
Fujifilm X-T10, Fujinon XF 18-55mm f2.8~4 R LM OIS at 25.4mm, 1/60s, f5.6, ISO 800
The Vickers Varsity (shown here with one of its Bristol Hercules 264 radial engines uncovered) was another type used in a training role by the RAF… I don’t recall ever seeing one fly though.
The Newark Air Museum is well worth a visit, with over 70 aircraft (or parts thereof) on display there’s plenty to interest both the enthusiast and the casual visitor.

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!

What was I photographing on this day in previous years?
Eight years ago it was this alien, painted underneath an old railway bridge that now forms part of a local path known as the ‘Greenway’.
The blurred figure in the distance is wifey… not an alien!

Sheffield University’s new Social Science building ‘The Wave’ had only been open for a couple of weeks when I photographed it in May this year. The 16,600sqm structure was designed by HLM Architects and cost £65m but complaints have recently been made that the building traps too much heat in hot weather causing a potential health and safety hazard!
