Classics on The Moor 2025 (B&W)

fishyfisharcade1 Comment

As happens most years, I went into town on the day of the annual Classics on the Moor car show in Sheffield city centre. I took my Yashica Mat 124G with me and shot a couple of rolls of film, one black and white, the other colour. Here are the black and white images.

The same owners and cars are often present at the event, so some of these cars will have undoubtedly featured on the blog before. The little Fiat 500 certainly has.

My blogging “streak”

fishyfisharcade12 Comments

For the last few months I’ve had a notification from WordPress about my “streak”. As of today I’ll be told “You’re on a 1,009-day streak on Steel City Snapper photography!“. I can’t remember exactly when it started, but it was probably a month or two before I hit one-thousand consecutive posts. I expected it to stop when it reached the 1k figure, but it hasn’t. Instead I get a little system-generated reminder that I haven’t had a day off posting in nearly three years. There might be some way to turn it off in the site settings, but it’s not yet gotten quite annoying enough for me to be bothered to find out.

Anyway, with no connection to my ramblings whatsoever, today I’ll share a picture of the back-end of a Mk II Ford Escort. Enjoy!
