The current scene in Wifey’s office/sewing room… Dreamies have been consumed, fusses have been administered… We don’t actually have a cat! 😂 #CatsOfBluesky

I’ve just supplied (to a teacher friend of mine) a Canon EOS 350D for an autistic kid who’s shown a definite interest in photography… It’s a good feeling, helping to encourage someone in this way and I can see me putting together more ‘starter kits’ 😊 #PhotographyForAll
A pic from Expired Film Day 2026 (is that still a thing?) The Milner Hotel in York, as seen through a (large) gap in the railway station roof. 📷 Minolta Dynax 800si, Tamron 28-75mm f/2.8 LD XR Di SP 🎞️ Fuji Neopan 400 (expired 12/2011) developed in Ilford DD-X #BelieveInFilm #MinoltaGang
Wifey dug this little beauty out of her jewellery box tonight and I had to take a pic or two… The (large) pin is mostly behind the upper wing and is pinned through a sheet of paper into a foam block. 📷 Fuji X-E4, 18-55mm + 11mm extension tube
Just developed two rolls of film… opposite ends of the spectrum in certain ways… Kodak Tri-X from my Nikon F2S Ilford Delta 400 from wifey’s Nikon F65 #BelieveInFilm
Off to see the fantastic @defleppard.bsky.social at Sheffield Arena tonight… first saw them in ‘87 and have lost track how many times since! Fave track of theirs? ‘Photograph’ obviously! 😂
Another pic from Langley Mill Canal Basin in 2023. 📷 Nikomat FT, NIKKOR-H 50mm f/2 🎞️ Foma Pan 200 developed in FX39 II 'The Great Northern' is quite a good spot for a pint or two! #BelieveInFilm #filmphotography
An image from three years ago (but I've only recently finished the roll 😬) Moored, Langley Mill Canal Basin 📷 Nikomat FT, Nikkor-H 50mm f/2 🎞️ Foma Pan 200 developed in FX39 II Definitely the scruffiest camera/lens I own but I've enjoyed using it! #BelieveInFilm #filmphotography
Anyone off to the @analoguewonderland.bsky.social PhotoWalk in Sheffield tomorrow?
I do use film cameras, honest! 😂 A digital pic from today’s Bus & Train Festival at Peak Rail in Derbyshire. 📷 Nikon Z fc
Been out playing with an old Nikon D700 and an even older Zoom-NIKKOR 80-200mm f/4.5 ai lens today… Oh! And a lump of Blu tack to stop the (very sloppy) lens from zooming itself!
Had lunch with my ‘work wife’ today and following lunch she took me to a local antiques centre… There were shiny things! 🤩

Is Expired Film Day still a thing? This is a small section of a mural in Beeston, Nottinghamshire, and many of the titles have connections to the area. Balda Baldessa (a £4.00 charity shop find that morning) and out of date Agfa Vista 200 rated at ISO 50 #believeinfilm #expiredfilmday
Tomorrow morning I begin the busiest weekend of my year… can you guess why? (Yes, both the beard and stomach are all my own!) 🎅🏻
