Empty court
No-one playing.
But later, as I passed the court on my return and the fog had lifted, a young girl was there with her coach.

Foggy path
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…

Equs Altus
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.

Who watches the watchmen?
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.

Morris dancers
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.

Dragons
Various pictures of Chinese dragons from the Chinese New Year celebrations in Sheffield city centre.
It’s a shame about the scratched roll of film, and the X-300 wasn’t the easiest to use on fast moving mythological beasts, but it was still good to be there and get a few photographs.
