Developed in Ilford Ilfotec DD-X at 1:4, 8 mins at 20°c.
I’m currently trying out a Mamiya C330 twin-lens reflex (TLR) camera and this image is from the second roll of film I’ve put through it.
It’s a heavy beast but incredibly nice to use, and (as I’m sure I’ve mentioned before) I love the square format!
This is milepost 22 on what was the Cromford & High Peak Railway (C&HPR) in Derbyshire, now the High Peak Trail.

Crich Tramway Village is only a few miles from here and it’s somewhere I really should visit more often… This pic of Leeds City Tramways No.399 was actually taken on Worldwide Pinhole Photography Day last year, at the same time as the one posted here.

Midland Railway June 1893
Sony α100, Sony DT 18-70mm f3.5-5.6 at 50mm, 1/160s, f6.3, ISO 800
What was I photographing on this day in previous years?
Fifteen years ago it was some of the artifacts at the Midland Railway-Butterley
This cast iron sign, cracked and rusting, had clearly seen better days… mind you, I doubt I’d look as good at 114 years old! 😂

I’d love to know how a man born in Odessa in the Ukraine in 1823 (then part of Imperial Russia) ended up buried in the small Derbyshire village of Pentrich (best known for the Pentrich Revolution of 1817).

Great Northern Basin on the Cromford Canal at Langley Mill in Derbyshire. I say ‘Cromford Canal’ but the basin was originally part of the mostly abandoned Nottingham Canal that passed under what is now the A608 road just to the right of The Great Northern pub, visible in the background.
