Slide Film Sunday… Bolton Castle, May 2003
Bolton Castle, May 2003
The recent purchase of a used Nikon ES-2 Film Digitising Adapter has prompted me to dig out a few of my old slides to tinker with…
I’ve no notes as to the camera or film used for the above pic of Bolton Castle but it’s a pretty good bet it was taken using a Nikon F90X, AF NIKKOR 70-300mm f/4-5.6D ED and Fujichrome Sensia film (a combination I used a lot at the time…)
First impressions of the ES-2 are good, it’s well made (as you’d expect from Nikon) and simple to use so expect more ‘Slide Film Sunday’ posts!

What was I photographing on this day in previous years?
14 years ago it was the French commune of Mur-de-Barrez in the Aveyron department in southern France.
With a population of only 800 or so it was an incredibly peaceful little place to spend an afternoon, in fact we hardly saw a soul…

Throwback Thursday… The Forth Bridge

Nikon D100, Sigma 70-200mm f/2.8 EX DG APO Macro HSM at 70mm, 1/160s, f5.6, ISO 200
What was I photographing on this day in previous years?
Sixteen years ago it was the Forth (rail) Bridge on my first ever trip to Scotland.
Although I did photograph the bridge as a whole it’s these detail shots, complete with trains, that remind my of the hour or so spent at South Queensferry as the sun went down…
