Square Saturday… Leawood Pump House

Leawood Pump House
Mamiya C330f Professional, Mamiya-Sekor 80mm f/2.8 – 1/125s, f11, – Ilford FP4 Plus
Developed in Ilford Ilfotec DD-X at 1:4, 10 mins at 20°c.
Another image from a walk along the Cromford Canal at the end of April and another scene I’ve photographed more times than I care to remember over the years…
Leawood Pump House was built in 1849 to pump water from the River Derwent into Cromford Canal. I don’t think it still fulfils its original purpose but the pump is steamed from time to time and is well worth seeing in action.
Digitised using Nikon D5600 & AF-S Micro-NIKKOR 40mm f/2.8, pixl-latr and Negative Lab Pro plugin with minimal cropping and tweaking in Lightroom Classic CC.
Throwback Thursday… Petrel No.81

Petrel No.81
Fujifilm X-T1, Fujinon XF 18-135mm f3.5~5.6 R LM OIS WR at 55mm, 1/80s, f11, ISO 200
What was I photographing on this day in previous years?
Nine years ago it was boats on the River Trent at Sawley in Derbyshire.
Actually the River Trent forms the border between Derbyshire and Leicestershire here but I think Petrel No.1 is far enough across to still be in Derbyshire!

Developed in Adox FX-39 II at 1:9, 10 mins at 20°c.
An image from a roll of film that’s been sitting in the camera for three years!
The NIKOMAT FT and NIKKOR-H 50mm f/2 combination is possibly the scruffiest camera I own and is definitely older than I am!

What was I photographing on this day in previous years?
11 years ago it was this shadow of a vase, cast on the kitchen worktop… I was developing film in there this morning and could’ve easily taken an identical picture!
