This old fashioned fair ground ride comes to Grantham a couple of times a year, when they close the main street to traffic and let the fair take over. I have lots of good nightime photos of various rides, but this is my all time favorite as I’ve actually sold five copies of this image to various people who live locally.

Taken at 4am in Grantham whilst walking the dog. Have you ever noticed that traffic lights always seem to be green when nobody needs them and red when everybody’s there.

Creeping around church graveyards at night is becoming a strange passion of mine, sometimes you can get some good shots…But I swear I heard organ music coming from the church when I took this shot… kinda spooked me a bit!

The Grantham canal ambles for 33 miles between Grantham and Nottingham, passing through some beautiful farmland and countryside. It was once a major commercial route for transporting goods between the two towns, but with the advent of the railways its commercial viability began a decline. It was officially closed in 1936, though it had been unused for the 10 years preceding the closure and had lain unloved and mostly forgotten for over 80 years. Some stretches are completely dry, locks have rotted away and trees overhang and completely block it in many places. / / Well, all that’s about to change; this fella is part of the dredging operation designed to reopen the canal for leisure traffic. It’s a huge project and has taken over 30 years to organise. Can you imagine the amount of sludge they have to dig out of that thing? / / I’ve always been passionate about our English countryside and heritage, so it’s wonderful to see it being restored like this.

This is a simple hand held grab shot taken out of my kitchen window, It’s completely unaltered as I’m going to put it in the ‘As Is’ group gallery. The lens flare was difficult to avoid as I didn’t have much room to manoeuvre and I realised quite quickly that … well it kinda looked quite good… so I made it as big as I could. There is another version of this image in my gallery with an accurate simulation of the camera’s HUD display superimposed over the shot.

It had been a cold wet dreary day when my Lowepro AW100 camera bag had stayed on my back most of the afternoon, wandering around the shops with my girlfriend, hoping to take some pictures of the Christmas lights outside the town hall (with no joy) but 100 yards from home I was presented with this view of the sunset… Pure gold!

I try and carry a camera with me everywhere I go. Even when I’m doing something as mundane as popping into the local town (Grantham). Most times the camera never gets used, but at least I’ve got it there in case something catches my eye. One such “eye catching” moment happened this morning. It’s raining, I’m sat in the car waiting for my wife while she was in a shop, and I notice how cool a sign in a shop window looks as seen through the rain on the windscreen. So out comes the Canon PowerShot G9 and I have a little photography session, the result of which is this:

Here in England we’re having a really nice run of fine weather at the moment. So, yesterday, given that it was hot and sunny, we decided to spend the day in the grounds of Belton House. I took the Canon PowerShot G9 and the Lomo Lubitel 166B with me. I managed to run off a small set of photographs with the G9 and also finished off a roll of Fuji Provia 100F in the Lubitel. I’ll be sending that off for processing some time today.

More Fuji Provia 100F Results

Having had enjoyable results with my first roll I decided to put a second roll of Fuji Provia 100F through the Lubitel 166B. I finished the roll off the other weekend, while at Belton House, and last Monday I posted it for processing and scanning by my friendly Scottish landscape photographer (thanks Tim!). I got the results back on Saturday and have processed them all over the weekend. The results are as follows: Mareham Lane Rapeseed Lone Pylon Repetition Lubitel at Belton House / / / / I did suffer some light leakage this time around, especially on the first three frames. The second frame (Lone Pylon) suffered the most, hence the reason I turned it into black and white. Other than that I’m very pleased with the results. As it turns out, I was so happy with the way that Lone Pylon turned out I’ve made it available as a print (as part of my series Against the Sky):

4:40 am and I’m thinking about calling it a night when I look out the window and see that the rising sun is painting the sky with some fantastic colours. Muttering something to myself about sleeping when I’m dead, I grabbed my trusty Nikon D200 and Mono-pod and rushed out to the door and through the streets to the local town hall, which is a west facing colonial style building which is usually lit up at night, and has some nice trees with a statue of Sir Isaac Newton out front (he was born round here somewhere). A friendly council worker who was emptying the bins outside the town hall offered to move his rather unattractive dust cart out of the way and I was all set… Click…Click…click!
