The light was wonderful on the day I took this. It made for nice photos of all manner of things.

Ford
Ford is a hamlet in Derbyshire, a few miles from where I live. This is the view looking west from just outside the Bridge Inn.

On suburban streets
After parking the car with the intention of a walk in the countryside, I spotted these houses across the road. I liked the uniformity of shape and the way they receded down the hill.

Jemima
This charming looking duck waddled over to me, perhaps hoping for something tasty to peck at. Instead, she had to make do with a portrait.

Shadow man
I obviously misjudged the metering on this shot and underexposed the photo. However, I think it’s another one of those cases where a happy accident produces fortuitous results. The deep shadow between the houses emphasises the man and the high contrast does the same for his shadow on the wall.

Zebedee’s Yard
There are a lot of nice buildings scattered throughout Hull city centre, including this one.

Ladybower
This is a shot taken back in the spring with my Lubitel 166 Universal. I’ve since sold the camera after getting my Yashica Mat 124 G – while the Lubitel could take some nice photographs, it was pretty fiddly to use and focussing was tricky.
This is cropped to 6×4.5 ratio from the 6×6 original (although the camera had an adapter that allowed 6×4.5 shots to be made).

After the rain had passed
On the day I visited Hull back in November, the weather was a mixture of sunshine and showers. This was taken after the rain had stopped and the sun was illuminating the pub. I think it was the reflection in the puddle that drew my eye.

Broken willows
Not far from where I live is the floodplain of the River Rother, where horses and cows sometimes graze. It’s also the location of a number of willow trees, a few of which have been notably disfigured by some force.
