Steel City Snapper photography
35mm, medium format and large format film photography (with the odd bit of digital every now and then…)
The building in the background of the shot is a bit of a landmark in Sheffield (and one of the most photographed buildings in the city it would seem). It’s a multi-story car park, and its distinctive cladding provides countless compositions depending on the shooting spot, angle, lens, light etc.

The doorknobs on the main entrance to Cutler’s Hall in Sheffield feature this nice elephant design.

I think that this is a BSA A10 Super Rocket, but I’m no bike expert, so could be wrong. Please feel free to correct me if so. 🙂
The shot was taken at a steam rally last summer (I posted about it a couple of times here & here but never published this particular photo).

Our cat went missing last night after I inadvertently left the garden gate open. He’s old, deaf, and mostly blind so I’m pretty worried about him. Someone has been in touch to say they saw him last night and gave me the location, but there’s no sign of him there now and I don’t know where he is at present. I’m hoping he’s just laid low somewhere and that we’ll get him home safe soon – I leafleted all the houses in the area he was last seen. 😦
UPDATE: We’ve found him! My wife spotted him drinking puddle water in someone’s garden (on a street I wouldn’t have expected him to be). Very happy now. 🙂

After two of my images got into Flickr Explore just last week, I was a little surprised to see that this one got in there yesterday too. I now fully expect that months will go by without any more images getting in there (unless I start taking pictures of Lego Miniatures figurines 🙂 ).

Just inside Sheffield cathedral is this wrought-iron tree upon which people place candles.

Most deciduous trees are naked at this time of year, but a few still hold onto a thin veil of dead autumn leaves.
