Red tractor

I was quite surprised by the vividly saturated colours that I got with this roll of Fuji Pro 160NS. It’s not a film that I’ve shot a lot of, so my lack of familiarity might mean that my scanning process has resulted in a richer than usual output. But I like it, so who cares?

Sadly, given the film was discontinued in 2021, I’m unlikely to get to know it much better (although I do still have three rolls of it in the freezer).

Re-enactors at the Haxey Feast

There were a number of military re-enactment groups at Haxey Feast covering a variety of conflicts. I spoke to people from a number of the groups and it was interesting to find out more about the provenance of the uniforms and equipment they wore and used. Something I learnt was that the UK city of Leeds (famous for its textile industry) was a major supplier of cloth for the confederate army to produce their uniforms. Also, that the final surrender of the American Civil War took place in Liverpool, England, when the CSS Shenandoah, a confederate warship, surrendered to the British government.

I was also treat to some grisly details of how battlefield medicine and surgery was conducted during the Anglo-Zulu war on 1879.

Portraits I made of two of these re-enactment groups can be seen below.
