Steel City Snapper photography
35mm, medium format and large format film photography (with the odd bit of digital every now and then…)
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.

There’s an impressive flight of steps that descends the side of the hill down to the road where this house stands. I didn’t venture down them on this instance though, just took this shot before the roll of film ran out. As it was the final frame, there was some damage to part of the negative and so it’s been cropped to a square format. The light wasn’t great and I shot this wide open, which has resulted in a nice effect from the resulting shallow depth of field on the foreground.

Friday morning was both frosty and misty, so before work I went for a quick drive out to finish the roll of HP5+ in the camera. I took this one before even getting in the car.

As all the snow we’d had recently began to thaw, we had a wonderfully misty day. I shot nearly a full roll of film over the course of a four mile walk. It was well worth the squelchy ground. 🙂

On a walk around the country park on a misty, frosty morning, the playground was deserted and quiet (apart from a couple of geese).

Another shot from the flea market. I’d spotted this guy on my initial walk-around and wondered about getting a candid shot, but as I approached the stall I saw another photographer ask him if he could take a portrait. After he’s moved away I decided to fo the same, and the guy was good enough to oblige. Un-noticed by me at the time, the original photographer had walked around the next row of stalls and gave me a direct glance as I took my shot. Two for the price of one. 🙂

Taken on a walk around the Neepsend area of Sheffield. It’s an old industrial area but is rapidly becoming gentrified with new flats and student accommodation popping up at a rapid rate. At least some of the lovely old industrial buildings are being saved as part of the conversions rather than all being knocked down.
