Nikon F80, AF Nikkor 28-80mm f/3.5-5.6D at 50mm, 1/350s, f11 – Lomography Lady Grey
Developed in Ilford Ilfosol 3 at 1:9, 6½ mins at 20°c.

The memorial to all who served at R.A.F. Sutton Bridge in Lincolnshire, photographed during a trip to Norfolk in September. The propeller blade is from a Hawker Hurricane.

The structure in the background is Cross Keys Bridge, a swing bridge spanning the River Nene. From 1897 until 1965 the bridge carried both the A17 road and the Midland & Great Northern Joint Railway line from Spalding to King’s Lynn. Now it just carries the A17.

Digitised using Nikon D5600 & AF-S Micro-NIKKOR 40mm f/2.8 and Nikon ES-2 Film Digitising Adapter with minimal cropping and tweaking in Lightroom Classic CC.

What was I photographing on this day in previous years?

12 years ago it was the Lincolnshire Wolds Railway near Cleethorpes.

The railway occupies a short stretch of the former Great Northern Railway (GNR) East Lincolnshire Line that once linked Grimsby to Boston.

In spite of the National Coal Board (NCB) livery SPITFIRE spent its entire working life in the chemical industry in Manchester, latterly working for CPC International until withdrawal for preservation in the 1970s.

Railways and shadows… two things guaranteed to attract my lens! 😁

Howe Lane Crossing in Goxhill is on the railway line that runs from Barton-upon-Humber to Cleethorpes in Lincolnshire and with only one one train every two hours it definitely isn’t the busiest crossing in the country!

An image from the second roll of film through my Ondu 6×6 Pocket pinhole camera…

I’m still getting to grips with how wide an angle of view this camera has, the 25mm focal length of the Ondu pinhole has roughly the equivalent angle of view of a 14mm lens on 35mm or full-frame digital!
