Steel City Snapper photography
35mm, medium format and large format film photography (with the odd bit of digital every now and then…)
Just up the road from the houses featured in the blog yesterday is a bridge which crosses Bar Brook, a small river (or, I guess, a brook!) which originates on the moors to the north of Baslow before it joins the River Derwent a little further downstream. The sunlight was casting deep shadow beneath the bridge, which I attempted to capture in this picture.

Nice oblique sunlight and some interesting houses made for a nice shot at the beginning of a walk to Chatsworth House I undertook back in January.
I was umming-and-ahhing about going out with my camera today. The weather has been nice (it’s been nice for the last couple of weeks, in fact), but I wasn’t sure where to go, and I had some other stuff to do around the house but, in the end, I gave myself a kick up the backside and took a trip to the Yorkshire Sculpture Park. I shot an old roll of Tmax 100 with the Yashica Mat 124G and (hopefully!) should have some nice pictures to share. I do have a backlog again though, so they might be a little while appearing here.

A photograph today that was taken back at the start of the year. I made it during a trip out to Baslow Edge and shot it using the Zuiko 75-150mm f/4 lens I had with me.
While I published several photographs taken during that trip here on the blog, this one has lain untouched on my hard-drive.
It shows the view looking down on the village of Baslow from atop the edge that is named after it.
While I don’t do it often, sometimes it’s nice to just have a look back through photographs I made previously. I often find a few surprises in the form of images I’d forgotten about completely, or ones which, while not doing much for me at the time, now hold appeal on a fresh viewing.
