Hoping you all have a great day and a long and happy marriage follows! (I took a Yashica T4 and Delta 400 to my own wedding!)

I think I’m cisseexual…and I’m happy staying home on Wednesdays 🥸

Street art on the wall of a library in Beeston, Nottinghamshire depicting rows of books with Nottingham-related titles on the spines.

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.

I’ve got the Ai-S 35mm f/2 and had for a while the 35mm f/2 AF-D, both superb… I can’t see the point of anything faster/more expensive (but know at least one person while want one just to pose with it!)

I vaguely remember shooting a roll of the 100… can’t remember where it came from…

I’ve got a Coolpix 995 somewhere… I ought to dig it out for #ShittyCameraChallenge

Tomorrow morning I begin the busiest weekend of my year… can you guess why? (Yes, both the beard and stomach are all my own!) 🎅🏻

Not with that exact setup but I use wifey’s Nikon D5600, 40mm Micro lens and a pixl-latr from @hamishgill.bsky.social and I’m extremely happy with both the results and the speed of the setup…

That's something I need to do for my/wifey's 10.5mm Fisheye… I use an orange filter a lot!

If you don't mind… It's not often I like pics of me!

Probably my favourite film stock…

Mind if I use it for my profile pic on here?

Ooh! He's a good looking bugger! 😂 An excellent portrait taken at an excellent exhibition!

A portrait-format image of a harbour pier and lighthouse. The rough sea occupies the lower quarter of the image and the pier curves in from the right.

I’ve got both the Zuiko 28mm f2.8 and f3.5 and for some reason I prefer the f3.5…

Mine flares, but vignettes even with the recommended hood… that said it only cost me a fiver from a charity shop about five years ago… 😁

I’ve got a very early pre-Ai 28mm f3.5 and it’s shocking! The later pre-Ai, and indeed the Ai versions are so much better

That’s fantastic! Something I’ve attempted many times without success.

I've reached my bronze donor milestone! Register to donate at: my.blood.co.uk

By all means… Do you fancy grabbing a bite to eat en route?

Perfect! My train should get in just before 12…

Hey @stigofthedump.bsky.social Is there any chance you’ll be in Colwyn Bay next Friday? I’m planning a train trip over to see your exhibition 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

It’s the end of an era… my 2009 Mac Pro has finally given up the ghost… 😔

With me it’s hats… Mostly Scottish teams. Maybe I should do ‘Footie Hat Friday’ 🤔

I do this! My favourite (so far) is a village in Yorkshire ‘Kirk Smeaton’ and every time I pass the sign I have to say ‘Hi! I’m Kirk Smeaton, you may remember me from such films as Warlords of Atlantis’ (in a ‘Hi! I’m Troy McClure’ style…)

Yet another classic British motorcycle…
