A few years ago I found a shabby NIKKOR-H Auto 50mm f/2 lens in a charity shop for a fiver… I wouldn’t say the results are shabby though, would you?

Nikon F75, AF NIKKOR 50mm f/1.8D, 1/180s, f8 – Adox Color Implosion!

I’m not sure how long this roll of Adox Color Implosion! had been sitting in my F75 but Adox appear to have ceased production of this film in 2017!

I obviously didn’t pay much attention to the tell-tale window on the back of the camera either as until I unloaded it I thought it was a roll of black & white film!

Throwback Thursday… Leawood Pump House

Fujifilm X-T1, Fujinon XF 18-135mm f3.5~5.6 R LM OIS WR at 18mm, 1/160s, f11, ISO 400

What was I photographing on this day in previous years?

Five years ago it was Leawood Pumphouse near Cromford in Derbyshire.

The Grade II* listed building dates from 1949 and houses a Watt-type beam engine that pumped water from the River Derwent to the Cromford Canal until 1944 when the canal closed. The Pump House was restored in 1979 by the Cromford Canal Society and the engine is steamed periodically.
