Another photo from the first (of twenty!) rolls of 2007 expired Fuji Superia 100. Lovely colours from this stuff.

Postbox
I have a slight fascination for taking photos of postboxes – I think it’s because of the way colour film renders red (although, that said, I have some black and white shots of them too!). I liked the way the low autumn sun was lighting this one.

Off duty
The Out of this World SF / Horror / Magic event was on in Sheffield last weekend, which is where I snapped this off duty Halo cosplay dude.

I never knew it was there
Despite living in Sheffield my entire life, I never knew this was here until a couple of weeks ago! It was apparently built in 1848 and is the remains of a cementation furnace used by Daniel Doncasters and Sons.

Brass Bottles
This is a bit of a test shot to see if I could achieve a shallow depth of field with the uncoupled rangefinder and f/4.5 Nettar lens on the Zeiss Mess-Ikonta 524/16. It’s not too bad, I don’t think.
Doubt I’d be able to nail a moving subject though!

A little autumn colour
A few autumnal shots taken on a recent woodland walk.

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.
