I’m still not on track for posting much I’m afraid. Not sure when I’ll get back to daily posts, but I’ll try to update as often as I can though.

Still standing
A partial tree still stands in the centre of the plantation.

A bit Leica like a
This is a Fed 1 rangefinder that I was given a few months back. It’s a copy of the Leica II. I’m not sure if this one works properly – the shutter seems to fire, but I can’t alter the aperture.

Pubs in decline
Pubs are an industry in decline. Many (away from town centres, at least) are either closed, struggling, or transformed into family pub-restaurants. There are still loads of pubs about, so they aren’t on their last-legs just yet, but it’s a common sight to see one boarded up these days, sadly.

Catching the sunlight
This small, seemingly abandoned (or at least in need of some repairs) building is located in Eckington, a few miles from my home. I’ve glanced at it on several occasions as a potential photo subject, but on the day I took this it was sat in brilliant sunlight, so I stopped the car and took the shot.

Winter field
This was taken back in January on a walk where I wish I’d worn some Wellies – although the ground looks crisp and frozen, the snow was in melt and my feet were sinking up to the ankles in places.

Interesting things
I timed this shot just right to get the chaps face in the gap between the items, but I like the stuff on the table too, from the frog golf caddy in the frock coat (with red cap), the Leica slide projector, the skull-topped canes and all the rest.

Outside Santander
I spotted this chap waiting at the edge of the market square, stood in some warm light from the low-ish sun and with some nice shadows cast on the building from a nearby tree. Again, I’m really pleased with the colours from this film.

Alfresco refreshments
I shot a roll of Lomography Color Negative 400 for the first time this week. I wasn’t sure what to expect, but the results are very nice, with pleasing colour, and I’m very happy with it (especially as it only cost £10 for three rolls). I used a full roll wandering around the flea market taking photos of life around the place. The light was nice and I got several pictures I’ve very happy with, but here’s a shot of people enjoying a tea break amongst the market stalls.

Browsing
I took a number of photos around the flea-market this week using the Yashica Mat 124G. I was hoping for a bit of a Vivian Maier-type result and, while I don’t think I’ve necessarily achieved this, I’m still pretty happy with a lot of the shots I got.
I’m using white borders at the moment which, while looking nice on Flickr, have little impact on this blog given it has a white background anyway. 🙂
