Canon EOS 300, EF 50mm f/1.8 II, 1/180s, f8 – Fujifilm Velvia 100F (expired 2/2013)
Another image from Expired Film Day 2025.
Aspire, designed by Ken Shuttleworth is a 200ft tall steel sculpture on the Jubilee Campus of the University of Nottingham and was, until overtaken by Anish Kapoor’s Orbit, the tallest free standing public work of art in the United Kingdom.
Definitely one of those occasions when I wish I’d packed a shorter focal length lens than 50mm!

Some more of Beeston’s street art, photographed on Expired Film Day but this time on film only 12 years out of date!
This is just a small part of mural by that adorns The Quadrant, a multi-purpose venue next to Beeston Library. It was painted by Anna Wheelhouse and unveiled in May 2023.

Fuji GW 690 Professional, Fuji Photo Film Co EBC Fujinon 90mm f/3.5 – Fujifilm RVP 50 (expired 12/1997)
I’m not sure if Expired Film Day is still a thing… but I still enjoy loading up my cameras with out of date film every March 15!
This image of actor Richard Beckinsale (6/7/1947 – 19/3/79) by the artist Zabou, has only had very slight tweaks to exposure and white balance… 28-year old slide film has no business looking this good!

Throwback Thursday… Nottingham
Shoppers, Albert Street, Nottingham

What was I photographing on this day in previous years?
11 years ago it was a festive Nottingham city centre.
Unusually for me every image that day was captured with a 35mm lens… an AF NIKKOR 35mm f/2D.
