Neither of these ‘selfies’ was the primary intention here, but I got them anyway. 🙂

At the edge of the world
Well, at the beach to be more specific. Three shots of small waves on Mablethorpe beach during an ebbing tide.

The departing storm
We had some pretty heavy showers recently (for the UK, at least – I’m not talking hurricane season here), and I took this from the bathroom window both because clouds are ace, but also because I’d received a red filter in the post that day and thought it would be a good shot to try it out with).

A world of colour (in black and white)
I had a day off work yesterday and took a trip out to the nearby Peak District National Park. On the north-eastern edge of the park, close to Sheffield, lies the Longshaw estate, and that was my destination.
I took the Yashica Mat 124 G loaded with a roll of Ektar, and the Nikon F70 with the remains of a roll of Acros 100. I’m a little disappointed with the Ektar shots – a couple at the start of the roll are spoiled by some sort of defect, and the others lack some of the wow factor I was hoping for.
However, I still got several photos I like and, although Ektar’s strength is in it’s richly saturated colour, I decided to throw that all out of the window after deciding many of the shots had a lot more impact in monochrome. I also cropped the third of these to a 6×7 ratio to remove some distracting highlights from the top of the frame.
So, here are three of them.
Yashica Mat 124 G & Kodak Extar 100 (converted to black and white in Lightroom).

The empty playground
I spotted this deserted climbing frame the other week when I went to photograph the Humber Bridge (it’s next to the car park, and behind a building that seemed to be deserted – or at least was on the day I was there). It looked kinda forlorn on such a gloomy and drizzly day, but made for a nice shot.

Round the bend
I thought I’d break up the flow of recent colour shots with an, erm, older colour shot – the twist here being that it’s Portra 160 converted to B&W because it just looked better that way.

On Skegness Pier
I quite like this shot. A little slice of life on a gloomy seaside day.

Walking to Camden Lock
A couple of photos I took on the walk from St. Pancras to Camden Lock the other week. The weather on the first day of the trip was much nicer than the second, with loads of nice light and blue skies.
