A group of 7 photographers -- that is, me and 6 others -- have been working on a zine to honour the late Mr John Whitmore. Yesterday it was delivered and I'm bound to say that it looks pretty good. If you'd like more details and how to get one, here's the link https://richardhall.online/new-zine-coming-soon/

Thanks!

One of the first images from a newly-acquired Nikon F60 with 28-80mm lens. Not a camera that gets much love, but I think we're going to be friends!

An image taken for the April #CameraChallenge on the birdsite. The theme of the challenge was 'texture', not a natural subject for me

Not the best pic ever, maybe. One from a roll taken with a 1950s Coronet Ambassador box camera for the March cheap #CameraChallenge. You can see the rest of the roll on my blog at https://richardhall.online/cheap-camera-challenge/

I'm going with my favourite box camera for the #camerachallenge I think. Anyone else taking part in this? #BelieveInFilm

I really don't like this sculpture. I find it irritating for reasons that I don't properly understand. But somehow, I keep being drawn back to pointing a camera at it.

Thanks. I'm often amazed at what a scanner can get out of a negative

Shrewsbury's Welsh Bridge is one of those places I don't seem to be able to resist if I'm walking by it with a camera in my hand

Welsh Bridge, Shrewsbury

One of two road bridges over the River Severn taking traffic into Shrewsbury town centre.
This pic was made with a Nikon F90x, 28-80mm lens and expired Kodak T400 CN. Semi-stand development in Rodinal produced some quite thick negatives, but they seem to have scanned all right.

Go outside. Shut the door.
Jupiter and Venus conjunction in today's late evening twilight. They were about half a degree apart. Three of Jupiter's brightest moons are lined up at top left. The moon was also gorgeous
The planets will be moving apart over the next few days, but worth a look, even in light polluted areas.

Cragside is a great place!

Heritage locomotive

This is a "Class 73", unusual because it can take its power from an on board diesel engine or from a 'third rail' electric system when it is available. This one is owned by the Cambrian Heritage Railway at Oswestry, Shropshire.
