Steel City Snapper photography
35mm, medium format and large format film photography (with the odd bit of digital every now and then…)
This made for quite a quaint scene, I thought. I like how the house has a post box embedded in its wall (there’s a phone box right across the street too – although I’m not sure if it’s still operational, or been converted into a library or defibrillator or something).

I came across the field of corn in the village of Holbeck when I went to photograph the church with my large format camera. I made note of its location and a short while later returned with my GW690.
Corn fields aren’t a rarity in the UK, but it’s far from a common crop, so finding a field where I had a good view of the stalks was a happy find.

For whatever reason, I took tow very similar shots for the same location atop the old town city wall in Dubrovnik. The colour version with my Canon Sure Shot Z135, and the black and white shot with my trusty Olympus Trip 35.
I like them both, but err towards the monochrome version, I think.

I was blessed with some nice light this morning and took a few photos on the way into the office, including this one.

The colours on these two Kodak Ektar pictures were very strange and I couldn’t get them to look right no matter what I did in Negative Lab Pro, Lightroom, or Photoshop. So, in the end I decided to convert them to B&W, which has worked quite well, I think.
