Steel City Snapper photography
35mm, medium format and large format film photography (with the odd bit of digital every now and then…)
I’ve been very impressed with the quality of the images from the tiny Olympus XA3. Given the zone focus system I wondered if they might not have the sharpness I might expect in comparison with a camera that allows full focusing and control of aperture, but it makes tack-sharp photos.
I’ve often heard said
That you might find some good things
In small packages

The refurbishment of another section of Park Hill flats is underway and the block in question is cocooned in scaffolding and yellow netting.
This was taken on a roll of 2001 expired Klick XD200 film that I was shooting for this year’s Expired Film Day. Due to the age of the film, I overexposed it a couple of stops. It’s not come out too badly though – a little extra noise and a slight pink cast are the only real signs of its age.
Nikon F70, Nikkor 50mm f/1.8 AF-D & Klick XD200 (expired in 2001).
