The last few awkward frames

I had three or four un-shot frames of film following my the trip to Hull and I wanted to shoot them so I could get the roll of film developed. Four frames isn’t really worth a specific trip, so I decided to shoot them one morning after dropping my son off at work.

I thought the signal box at Kiveton station would be a decent subject as it’s not that far from where I was, even though I’ve photographed it before. Then, because I didn’t want to end up driving for miles, I took some shots of the M1 motorway. All three have turned out ok, although how interesting you find the motorway pictures I’ll leave to you.

I also shot a single frame of colour film on another subject, but I’ll post that another time.

    1. The pictures aren’t awkward, it was more a reference to having just a few frames left on a roll to be shot. It’s not worth going somewhere special to shoot just a handful of 35mm pictures, but at the same time I don’t want to waste them either. What I tend to do is save them until I have another outing planned and then use them at the start before loading a new roll, but sometimes it doesn’t work out that way. 🙂
