I spotted someone in a T-Rex costume amongst the crowds in the Winter Gardens the other week. I took a couple of photos, both of which are very similar – one was with my F70, 50mm f/1.8 & some expired Superia 100 (rated at 64asa), which suffers a little from camera shake as I had to use a pretty slow shutter; and then this one, which was taken with my Olympus 35 RC. Thanks to the Tri-X I was using in the camera, I got a sharper result (I probably shot this at 1/60th).

This photo shows the view from Division Street looking towards the amusements in Barker’s Pool, Sheffield that were there as part of the Out of This World event.

This chap was running the flea circus tent at the Out of This World event the other week. He kindly posed for me and then, when I apologised for the additional time it had taken to get the shot with my film camera, got to talking about how he’s recently had an old camera of his own restored and was very impressed by the photos. A nice chap.
