Country lane(s)

fishyfisharcadeLeave a comment

Three country lanes (well, the first two pictures are the same lane) photographed during the same walk. I’m still a little miffed that I lost a lot of the shots from this roll. There are a few that I really would have liked to have seen turn out properly, both pictures of horses as it happens. Still, I guess should be thankful for the pictures that were salvageable.

Barley

At least I *think* it’s barley. I’m never quite sure which is which and have to look it up, but these have awns – the thin bristles poking out of them – so I believe barley is correct.

One thing that wasn’t correct was my exposure of this roll of film. I think I’d changed the metering setting on the camera and the resultant negs were extremely thin, with a sizable number ruined as a result (losing a few pictures I think would have been pretty nice). Luckily I was able to rescue some of them and I’ll post them in the coming days.

Bury railway station

fishyfisharcade3 Comments

A big picture dump today. All taken while I wandered around the railway station in Bury which is now part of the East Lancashire Railway heritage line.

I visit Bury each year to meet up with a bunch of middle-aged video game fans to spend the day in the marvelous, four-story Arcade Club, where we relive out youth playing free-to-play arcade games all day. I usually have time for a wander around before it opens though, and there’s often something interesting to see at the railway station – usually a steam train or two.

These are the shots I took this year.

Edge of the Manor

Modern houses on Sheffield’s Manor estate.

I came here with the intent of photographing views from the hillside over the city, and took a few pictures, but the best shot was this – looking in the opposite direction.

It really pays to look behind you when out with a camera. Sometimes the best views are the ones you’re walking away from.
