I maybe didn’t get the most attractive view of the building here, but it still has it’s charms.

Millstone Grit
I had a day off work this week and took a trip out into the nearby Peak District National Park. I was mostly trying my hand (not very successfully) at some landscape stuff using my digital camera, but I still stuck a couple of film cameras in my bag and managed to polish off a roll of 120 Portra 400, plus the remains of some Tmax 400 in my Pentax P30T.
The area I visited is littered with millstones in varying stages of completion, hewn from the local gritstone. The one in this photo must’ve been photographed many, many thousands of times as it lays right next to the footpath leading to Over Owler Tor.

Cowabunga dude!
In the early afternoon light, this large gritstone boulder on the moors above Hathersage, UK, had the look of a face, so I took the photo. It was only after scanning the negative that it struck me as to what it reminded me of – a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle (albeit one with a slightly lopsided face), complete with the tail of its bandana fluttering from the left side of its neck.
Or maybe it just looks like a big rock…

More classic cars at Brodsworth Hall
This is a follow on post from the previous entry, this time containing the Kodak Portra 400 shots taken with my Yashica Mat 124 G. The film was slightly expired (although the date on it was 2016, so it’s still more-or-less fresh really).
Brodsworth Church is not actually part of the English Heritage site and, as far as I could ascertain from my brief walk around it, not accessible from it either. There were a couple of gates that I suppose I could have climbed over, but they were padlocked shut, so I didn’t take the chance.
A couple of close-ups of the Willys Jeeps that were on display:
And finally, a bunch of car shots, my favourite being the elderly couple looking at the Bond Bug, which I think has a quirky “Martin Parr” feel to it.
