What was I photographing on this day in previous years?

17 years ago it was cyclists at the National Cycling Centre in Manchester during a Nikon ‘Solutions’ event…

These images certainly highlight how poor my panning technique was but I remember it being a fun day out nonetheless!

Fujica GW690 – Exposure unrecorded, – Kodak Ektar rated at ISO 64

I haven’t posted anything shot on my (borrowed) Fujica GW 690 for a while but yesterday I had six sets of negatives arrive in the post from Ag Photo Lab so here you are!

The narrow boat chugging its way along the Macclesfield Canal at Marple has just come off the Peak Forest Canal (which is on the other side of the bridge in the background) but whether it had traversed the 16 lock Marple Flight or not I don’t know…
