I thought that these three photos worked well as a set, with Lincoln Cathedral featuring in each as I walked through the city making my approach.
Sorry to not write more – it’s almost thirty degrees celcius in my office at present and I’m sat here with a damp cloth on my head to keep cool while I type! – so I’m trying to limit my time at the computer.

Another batch of Kodak Pro Image photos from Lincoln today. Again, I’m really enjoying the colours from this roll.
Today has been a nice day. I started off with a bit of a lie in (nothing to extravagant – the days of laying in bed all morning are a thing of the past, my free time is too precious these days – but staying in bed till 8:30 is still a joy).
Later in the morning my wife and I went to view a bungalow (as we are planning on moving house). The property had a lot of potential, but would no be somewhere we could move straight into as it has too many things that would need to be done to make it liveable. It would cost quite a lot of money to carry out the necessary work too. The house was vacant and we were told that the lady who originally owned it had moved into care and the council was now selling the house to pay for this. While all the furniture had been removed, there were still a few small signs of the person who had lived there before, including a certificate of her husband’s retirement from his job on one of the walls, beside which was stuck a sheet of paper listing names and birthdays of people the owner had once known. It was quite sad to see these small reminders of lives now moved on.
Then, this afternoon, we went strawberry picking. The weather had forecast rain showers, but this changed and it was a lovely warm day with blue skies scattered with fluffy lumps of cumulus. We got three large punnets of strawberries, most for us, but also for my day, my sister-in-law, and our niece. I snuck a few berries while picking them and they were delicious. I’ll enjoy more of them this evening with a bit of cream.
It’s very nice to have a day like this.

I mentioned the other day about posting some colour medium format pictures from my trip to Lincoln. Those are still to come, but I almost forgot about the partial roll of colour 135 shots I took as well!
These are shot on Kodak Pro Image film – the first time I’ve ever shot this stock. I bought a pro-pack of five rolls a few years ago – long enough back that they’re now expired. Luckily, they’ve been cold-stored since I bought them and so show no signs of age.
I was very pleasantly surprised at the results I got. They converted very nicely in Negative Lab Pro, producing good results from the off with little tweaking required. I like the colours too, nothing brash, just nice, slightly pastel tonality. Some of the later shots from the roll were shot on an overcast day and those look nice too.
I took another roll of the film on my recent holiday in Spain, so it will be interesting to see how those turn out when I get them back from the lab, but overall I’m happy with the film and will probably buy more when my existing colour stash runs a bit drier.
