I’ve already shared a few pictures from this foggy day out taken with my digital camera. Now I’m getting around to sharing the ones I shot on film. More to come…
Nikon F80 and Nikkor 28-80mm f/3.5-5.6 AF-D on Tri-X Pan Kodak Tri-X Pan (likely expired sometime in the 1990s) @125asa Ilfotec DD-X. 1+4 8mins @ 20°.
I’m not one for Latin, but I think that’s maybe “High Horse” to you and I. The sculpture stands atop a tall metal column in the Trinity Leeds shopping centre.
It represents the pack horses that were used in the wool and textile trades, for which the city of Leeds was a major centre.
Its sculptor, Andy Scot, is perhaps best known for his work The Kelpies, which stand at Grangemouth in Scotland. Equs Altus may not have the same scale, but it’s definitely born of the same (ahem) cloth.
Nikon F80 and Nikkor 50mm f/1.8 AF-D on Fomapan 400. Rodinal 1+25. 6.5mins @ 20°.
When I took this I wasn’t really considering the subjects in the exhibited photographs. My subject was the lady looking at them. But I like how I’ve been caught watching by one of the framed individuals.

Taken when we visited the Wakefield Rhubarb Festival back in February. I shot quite a few scenes of movement like this during the day, relying on the microprism (rather than the split-prim) to focus. While things looked sharp in the viewfinder, many of the shots are slightly front or rear-focused. More practice is needed, I think.
