Fujifilm X-E1, Fujinon XF 18-55mm f2.8~4 R LM OIS at 27mm, 1/80s, f9, ISO 800
What was I photographing on this day in previous years?
Five years ago it was the fishing boat ‘Ellie Jane’ at East Runton near Cromer in Norfolk.
‘Ellie Jane’ has featured on this blog before but I make no excuses for including another image from one of my favourite spots on our coastline…
Throwback Thursday… Light Night in Nottingham

Fujifilm X-E1, Fujinon XF 18-55mm f2.8~4 R LM OIS at 46mm, 1/30s, f4, ISO 1600
What was I photographing on this day in previous years?
Five years ago it was ‘Light Night‘ in Nottingham, a ‘night of eclectic and electric light installations’ that kicked off (for me at least) with a few pints in the Pitcher and Piano (where the ‘Hanging Helmet’ caught my eye).

7820 DINMORE MANOR, a Great Western Railway (GWR) 7800 class 4-6-0 steam locomotive was visiting from the Gloucestershire Warwickshire Railway and I managed a couple of trips from Loughborough Central to Leicester North and back in the warmth of steam-heated carriages…

Christmas Tree, London St Pancras International, 2015
Fujifilm X-E1, Fujinon XF 27mm f/2.8, 1/3s, f8, ISO 800
Wishing you all a Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays, Cool Yule or whatever celebration floats your boat at this time of year…
A Christmas tree image from four years ago, captured at London St Pancras International railway station… If memory serves I steadied the camera by pressing it tightly up against one of the pillars that supports the upper level of the station.
2000 soft toys were provided by The Disney Store and when the ‘tree’ was taken down they were donated to KIDS, a charity which cares for disabled children, young people and their families.

Throwback Thursday… Derby Cathedral, November 2015
Derby Cathedral, November 2015
Fujifilm X-E1, Fujinon XF 27mm f2.8, 1/3500s, f2.8, ISO 800
What was I photographing on this day in previous years?
Four years ago it was the city of Derby…
I was trying out the Fujinon XF 27mm f2.8 lens for the first time, I didn’t get on with it… Optically the lens was flawless, I just didn’t care for the lack of an aperture ring, something I was used to with my other X-series lenses.
I’m not quite sure what was going on with my camera settings that day… ‘1/3500s, f2.8, ISO 800’ What was I thinking?
Throwback Thursday… YH10 Ellie Jane, East Runton, June 2015
YH10 Ellie Jane, East Runton, June 2015
Fujifilm X-E1, Fujinon XF 18-55mm f2.8~4 R LM OIS at 18mm, 1/60s, f11, ISO 500
What was I photographing on this day in previous years?
Four years ago it was the fishing boat ‘Ellie Jane’ at East Runton near Cromer in Norfolk.
Fishing boats here are drawn up onto the beach by a variety of ageing tractors, this one (if memory serves) is a Fordson Power Major and has clearly seen better days!
We spent quite a bit of time at East Runton between 2012 and 2015, trading dog-sitting a friend’s Jack Russell for nights in a static caravan on the cliffs… it’s a lovely spot.

20.18 to Brighton
Fujifilm X-E1, Fujinon XF 18-55mm f2.8~4 R LM OIS at 21mm, 1/9s, f16, ISO 200
A shot from the digital archives tonight…
An unidentified class 377 ‘Electrostar’ electric multiple unit crosses Worthing Road at Angmering with the 19.32 Southern service from Portsmouth & Southsea (the 20.18 from Angmering) to Brighton on 20 May 2015. I didn’t have a tripod with me so rested my camera on top of a handy fence post and hoped for the best!
This pic cropped up tonight while I was looking for something else entirely, my archives definitely need a good sort out!
Throwback Thursday… Cley Windmill, March 2015
Cley Windmill, March 2015
Fujifilm X-E1, Fujinon XF 18-55mm f2.8~4 R LM OIS at 33mm, 1/25s, f3.6, ISO 3200
What was I photographing on this day in previous years?
Four years ago it was the windmill at Cley next the Sea in Norfolk.
The light was fading rapidly and unfortunately my tripod was packed underneath everything else in the boot of the car so I had to rely on the 18-55’s Optical Image Stabilizer (OIS) and a high ISO to get any image at all…
