Maternity hospital frontage
The building in this shot is the remains of the old Jessop Hospital for Women in Sheffield. The building closed in 2001 with the services moving to the nearby Hallamshire hospital and the building was bought by Sheffield University. Sadly, although a grade II listed building, much of the structure was demolished to make way for a new engineering faculty building. The section seen here is all that now remains of the original building.

Pumpkins and leaves
I know I posted a shot of some pumpkins a few days back, but it actually IS Hallowe’en today, so I don’t think another one will hurt. Plus there’s a bonus shot of some colourful leaves (a potential candidate for a nice, difficult jigsaw puzzle perhaps). 🙂
Both these were shot on a roll of Fuji Superia 100 which expired in 2007. I’m pretty happy with the results – I shot it at 64asa. A good job really, as I bought a bunch of it in from someone and have another nineteen rolls in the freezer.

Someone walked into my shot
Here’s a shot from my Zeiss Mess-Ikonta 524/16. It shoots square 6×6 negatives. Unfortunately, just as I clicked the shutter on this one, someone walked into the left side of the shot. It didn’t really add anything, so here’s a cropped 6×4.5 version instead.
The crop isn’t too bad actually, and might be better than the square version (even if someone hadn’t spoiled it), although I had to straighten it slightly and so the crucifix atop the spire just makes it into the frame by the skin of its teeth.
It’s a nice camera and I might consider getting it CLA’d so that it works at all shutter speeds.

Astilbe?
I’m not a horticulturist, so I’m not sure of the flower species depicted here, although someone pointed out to me that it looks like an astilbe.

The glasshouse
The glasshouse at Clumber Park. I was lucky enough to get some gorgeous autumn light.

The Fat Cat
Another shot from the Mess-Ikonta. There’s always something pleasingly vintage about black and white medium format photographs, I feel. Even with the modern cars, it still looks like it could be from the 1950s.
