Steel City Snapper photography
35mm, medium format and large format film photography (with the odd bit of digital every now and then…)
The Moss, which winds its way down the Moss Valley in south-eastern Sheffield until it joins the River Rother at Eckington. This is a spot about half way between Ford and Eckington close to the footbridge I used to cross the stream.

Muchos grain in today’s photos, both Holga shots on expired Tri-X which resulted in pretty thin negatives. As a result I increased the exposure in Lightroom which has increased the noise in the images by a considerable amount.
Both images depict a wooden footbridge across the River Moss, where I took a walk last weekend.

Two shots today, both of the same subject, taken on the same day, but with different cameras and film. I’d gone for a day out to visit Gainsborough Old Hall, but stopped off at Retford for a ‘comfort break’ at a Morrison’s supermarket. The store sits beside the River Idle and the riverside foot path is accessible from the car-park (which is also adjacent to the road that is carried by the bridge in the photographs).

Olympus Trip 35, Kodak Portra 160
(I’ve taken to adding ‘arty-farty’ white borders around my colour shots lately).
Both shots taken on Monday 31 July 2017.
