Leave your camera in a damp loft or shed for 30 years and it will be perfect

The docks area is being redeveloped with luxury flats and continental style shops. It is a great location for photography so I wasted a film to test a £10 car boot sale camera. It has a slight tapering shutter problem on higher speeds 250th - so probably its last film!

I am on a roll at the moment with a fridge full of film and loads mediocre cheap cameras to try out

That last photo by pogofish is great portrait shot. I was wondering if it was a candid shot or it it was seen as a great warm moment and re-enacted?

Thanks - It was a candid moment, caught when I was posing them for a slightly more formal shot.

High Marnham Power Station is a former coal-fired power station currently undergoing demolition. It is located in Nottinghamshire, to the west of the River Trent, just south of the village of Dunham.

The station closed in 2003 after nearly 45 years in operation, with a loss of 119 jobs.The station's chimneys were demolished on 15 December 2004. The station's 150 feet (46 m) high boiler house was demolished on 5 October 2006.The station's five cooling towers still stand 24 2 09.

This is the line that ran into High Marnham Power Station onto Lincoln, over the river trent, over the A46 to Nottingham..

Great dog photos I like the eyes shot. Does this Pentax K110D take k mount lenses from all those old classic film camera days and can you mount 42mm mount lenses with an adaptor?

 

[ToothlessFerret]

Thanks both Yes, the Pentax takes a k or pk mount lens and is very backward friendly. One of the attractions of Pentax This lens is a Pentax - M 50mm f1.7. Cost £25 on ebay. Have to make a few changes for the settings, shoot in manual mode, set aperture manually, and focus manually. You can use the 'green button' that will give you a shutter speed, but I usually need to put a few stops on it. As for other old mounts, I haven't tried any adapters, but I see lots of M42 lens for Pentax about. Plenty of K mounts around though Thing is though, I love this one lens - its become my default lens. Makes you do portraits.
