Lodge houses

fishyfisharcade1 Comment

There are multiple lodge houses (or, I guess, gate houses) on the Welbeck estate, all featuring an interesting architectural style. Shrouded in fog, they bring much atmosphere to scenes.

I had hoped to shoot the third of these images below from a different angle, with the ornate gates in frame but, as is usual for my luck, a delivery van pulled up and parked right in front of the gates.

I’ve already shared a few pictures from this foggy day out taken with my digital camera. Now I’m getting around to sharing the ones I shot on film. More to come…

Equs Altus

fishyfisharcade2 Comments

I’m not one for Latin, but I think that’s maybe “High Horse” to you and I. The sculpture stands atop a tall metal column in the Trinity Leeds shopping centre.

It represents the pack horses that were used in the wool and textile trades, for which the city of Leeds was a major centre.

Its sculptor, Andy Scot, is perhaps best known for his work The Kelpies, which stand at Grangemouth in Scotland. Equs Altus may not have the same scale, but it’s definitely born of the same (ahem) cloth.

Morris dancers

Taken when we visited the Wakefield Rhubarb Festival back in February. I shot quite a few scenes of movement like this during the day, relying on the microprism (rather than the split-prim) to focus. While things looked sharp in the viewfinder, many of the shots are slightly front or rear-focused. More practice is needed, I think.
