So, this photo is a direct continuation from yesterday’s. The man in this image can also be seen in the earlier shot, which had been taken just moments earlier.

Travellers
Silhouetted figures sit inside St. Pancras railway station in London.
It was the guy on the end of the bench that caught mye eye for this shot. I liked the position he was sat in and the way I could just make out the frame of his spectacles.

Boot sale
Ah, the good old British car-boot sale. What beats getting up at 6:30am on a misty Sunday morning on the off-chance that someone is selling a Leica for a quid?
I didn’t get a Leica on this occasion (as I haven’t on all the occasions I’ve ever been to a car-boot sale, oddly enough), but I bought a Vivitar V635 with 28-70mm and 80-200mm lenses, and an Olympus OM-10 with a Zuiko 50mm f/1.8 for the princely sum of £12.
The Zuiko lens was faulty, so that went on eBay for spares / repairs and I got enough for it to cover my initial £12 outlay. The Vivitar was tested and, while it worked perfectly well and was in great condition, the lenses weren’t as sharp as others I already own for other systems, so that is being sold off too. I replaced the light seals in the OM-10 and finished a roll of Agfa Vista Plus 200 in it the other day, so should get the results back from that test roll this week. If all is well, I might keep hold of that as a spare body to complement my OM-1.

A pond in the distance
This is probably a bit of an everyday type shot, but I liked the scene enough to press the shutter, and the Portra has captured the colours wonderfully. I don’t think it would work without that big white cloud though.

At Clumber Park
This one’s a bit of a random re-scan – after I finished re-scanning the Agfa CT Precisa slides, I scanned a single frame of Superia 100 – mostly because I’d not done anything with this shot before. So here it is.
I’ll hopefully have a bunch of new stuff to go through this week once Easter has passed and the labs are open again.

A couple of churches
My slide re-scanning has continued again today. Here’s a double-helping of churches from the roll (there’re a couple more on the roll too, but they’ve either not been post-processed yet, or I’ve already posted them here when I did the original flatbed scans).
The first is St. Michael’s and All Angels church at Brodsworth (this was taken from the grounds of Brodsworth Hall – there’s a gate into the churchyard, but I don’t think it’s accessible for visitors to the hall).
The second is St. Mary’s church at Boston Spa and is another phot I took after visiting the camera fair.

An autumn morning in Boston Spa
A photo that’s around 18-months old now at the time of posting. It was taken at Boston Spa in North Yorkshire. They have a camera fair there several times a year, and I’d decided to visit. The morning was lovely and crispy, as the best autumn mornings are, and the light was lovely. This was my first (and so far only) roll of slide film, although that will change when I get around to shooting the roll of Ektachrome that is waiting patiently in the fridge.
