Steel City Snapper photography
35mm, medium format and large format film photography (with the odd bit of digital every now and then…)
It’s Christmas. Or, as Noddy Holder would have it, It’s CHRIISSTMAAS!.
As I’ll not likely be posting anything on Christmas Day, I thought I’d get this one in early in order to compensate. I posted pictures of this anti-fracking protest mannequin a while back, but this is a new shot with it in its current festive guise.

There are plans for shale gas fracking to begin not too far from where I live, and many of the homes and lampposts in the vicinity are displaying anti-fracking protests. I’ve photographed this place earlier in the year, but the scarecrow is a fresh addition.
These were taken with my newly acquired Nikkor 28-80 f/3.5 – 5.6 AF-D lens. It’s a cheap, plastic bodied lens, but one that has good reviews for its optical quality. Based on the shots I’ve had so far, I’m more than happy with it, and it adds a good degree of versatility for the occasions where my 50mm is too restrictive.
