In Sheffield
There’s a bit of camera-shake in this shot but, in this case, I don’t think it harms the shot and adds a little ‘grit’.

Standing on a corner
While I was waiting for the sun to appear behind a cloud so I could take a photo with my Mess-Ikonta, I grabbed this quick shot of a re-purposed industrial building with the OM-1.

Cutlery
In the millennium Gallery in Sheffield, there is a giraffe constructed from cutlery. This is a close-up of its neck (complete with a variety of distorted spoon selfies 🙂 ).

At the top of the foodchain
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).

Walking away from the fun
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.

The showman
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.

Off duty
The Out of this World SF / Horror / Magic event was on in Sheffield last weekend, which is where I snapped this off duty Halo cosplay dude.

I never knew it was there
Despite living in Sheffield my entire life, I never knew this was here until a couple of weeks ago! It was apparently built in 1848 and is the remains of a cementation furnace used by Daniel Doncasters and Sons.

Maternity hospital frontage
The building in this shot is the remains of the old Jessop Hospital for Women in Sheffield. The building closed in 2001 with the services moving to the nearby Hallamshire hospital and the building was bought by Sheffield University. Sadly, although a grade II listed building, much of the structure was demolished to make way for a new engineering faculty building. The section seen here is all that now remains of the original building.
