This was, I think, the last photograph I took before Christmas. It’s certianly the final shot from the roll of HP5 that I shot on the 23rd December. After making most of the pictures near Meadowhall and the nearby M1, I decided to drive home on a circuitous route to see if there was anything I could use the remaining few frames on. After taking a landscape shot of some haybales, I came across a farm I’ve never driven past before which had a wonderful (and very muddy) farmyard right beside the road, where a herd of cows were feeding and taking shelter. This photo is one of two I took.
The farm has a shop and I bought myself a very tasty black-pudding sausage roll for my lunch while I was there too.
Zeiss Mess-Ikonta 524/16 & Ilford HP5+.

A great shot. The mud, rain. The cow looks so forlorn.

Thanks. I felt a little guilty because this cow, and another, came over to me when I approached the fence with my camera, perhaps expecting some sort of treat or something. Instead I just grabbed a couple of photos.
