Steel City Snapper photography
35mm, medium format and large format film photography (with the odd bit of digital every now and then…)
There’s another photo of this already in the blog from a week or two back, although that one was shot on my Mess-Ikonta (albeit taken on the same day). That one was a wider shot from further down one of the streets approaching the market square, as opposed to this one that was a bit more up close and personal.

Given that I didn’t post anything to the blog yesterday (I left it until late in the evening and then forgot and went to bed!), it’s a double-post day today.
I’m not quite sure why the shot below has such pronounced grain (it was taken with the same roll of HP5+ as many of the other recent shots I’ve posted, and they don’t have nearly so much). Maybe the snow and mist threw the camera’s meter out and then I overcompensated the exposure at the scanning stage or something. I guess I could re-scan the negative and see (but I probably won’t).
Grain isn’t something I dislike though, so not to worry. 🙂

This is one of a trio of sculpted metal figures that stand alongside the Trans-Pennine Trail at Killamarsh in Derbyshire.

On the Trans-Pennine trail at Killamarsh, on the remaining part of a railway bridge structure, is this piece of street art.

This renewable energy facility has only recently been completed. It reminds me a little of the facility in Stranger Things.

I thought I’d post another photo of a chain today – actually part of the same fence I posted a photo of yesterday. I was quite surprised to see that this photo AND the one I posted here yesterday made it into Flickr’s Explore section today. I don’t tend to see many of my photo’s in Explore, so to get two consecutive shots in there on the same day was quite an unusual thing to happen (for me, at least).

A pretty simple composition for today’s post – a low chain fence in the grounds of a nearby church – but one I like thanks to the light and the lovely look of Ilford HP5+

A trader demonstrates some sort of device to customers at his market stall. I’m not sure of its purpose, but it appears to be a bell of some sort.

The term ‘forest’ in the title up there is somewhat misleading. This is actually a small plantation of pines nestled into a meander of the River Rother not far from Eckington. It’s a place I’ve never visited before, but it has potential for some nice photos – it certainly did on the snowy, misty day when this photo was taken.
