I’m building up quite a backlog of black & white film developing at the moment… so here’s a pic from March 2024!

Earlier this year I celebrated my birthday with a delicious pub lunch and a couple of pints of ale at The George Hotel at Youlgreave in the Peak District and a stroll around All Saints Churchyard with a camera… not everyone’s idea of a good time perhaps, but it suited me perfectly!

Another image from the first roll of film through my charity shop find Canon EOS 5.

I loved how the sunlight (remember that?) projected the lettering on the door of the Wellington Hotel onto the doorframe. I’m not so keen on the obvious barrel distortion at the wide end of my Canon EF 28-135mm lens though…

Waterfront buildings on the River Wensum in Norwich, photographed on an unseasonably warm 18 March this year… also the very first image from a charity shop find Canon EOS 5, a camera I coveted in the early 1990s when using a Canon EOS 1000FN.
