Tree by Abbey Lake.
I think we've finally crossed into 2025, so a new thread. The old thread ended at https://mastodon.scot/@carusb/114351947348113749 .

Pleasance moat. The Pleasance is a square raised area surrounded by a double moat, now mostly dry, built as a party site by Henry V, nearly a mile from Kenilworth Castle.

Finally got my #FolderWeek photos scanned and uploaded to C1Pro. This is the other end of the small row of thatched cottages from my post earlier today

Abbey Fields in light snow. Sometimes you can sledge here, right in the centre of town! Good reason to settle...
#PentaxMX, SMC #Pentax M 35mm f/2, #IlfordHP5 lab devved by #DarkroomUK in #XTOL.
Another #FolderWeek post: two more thatched cottages. The second has just been re-thatched; if you look closely just above the upstairs window, you might see that there are at least 3 different layers of thatch here! I love the fluid shapes that thatched roofs can have, but they must be seriously expensive to maintain!

One more square castle (!) photo for #FolderWeek. This is taken in the undercroft of the Great Hall.

Snowy walk again. This couple are walking towards the castle, unseen.

Frozen lake.

After the thaw, the flood... behind the castle.

There's always one! Van almost up to its windows in the flooded ford, for #FensterFreitag #WindowFriday.

Road block. This 150-year-old oak tree has fallen across the ford during Storm Éowyn, blocking the road completely.

Across the icy lake. That building tucked into the trees is the 800-year-old Abbey Barn, one of only two remaining buildings.

Icy bulrushes.
(It feels a bit weird posting these frosty photos when we're in a long sunny spring, but hey, nevermind!)

Frosty teasels.

Waterbirds among the frosted reeds. The swans help to keep small areas of water clear of ice; this is the first time I've seen them [EDIT: keep the water clear] this far up among the reeds.
#Pentax MX, EDIT: Actually SMC Pentax K 55mm f/1.8, Delta 400, home dev HC-110 dilution B. Sorry about that!
Frosty log. This is from a tree that came down in last year's storms.

Reeds in the ice. The floods had not fully subsided when this cold snap arrived.

Frosty reeds and castle!

Timbers. These are exposed frames of a "half-timbered" house on Castle Green; they date from the 16th to 17th century! The brick panels are later additions; they would originally have been "wattle and daub", ie mud. EDIT: The cottage and these timbers can be seen at https://historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1035342.

I found a long-expired roll of Konica VX 200 Super colour film from a past Secret Santa, and decided to rate it at EI 50 and try some Intentional Camera Movement (#ICM). TBH it didn't really work out well, but maybe a few are worth showing. Crackley Wood...
#Pentax ME, #Vivitar28mm f/2.8, dev/scan by Filmdev.
This one is #ICM but looks more like a double exposure. Also from Crackley Wood.
#Pentax ME, #Vivitar28mm f/2.8, Konica VX 200 Super colour film, expired 2005, at EI 50,dev/scan by Filmdev.
Last one from this roll. Some times with #ICM the colours just go really weird on you, no idea where all this pink came from!

I missed this roll of #Kodak200 from my #OlympusMju2. It's always in my jacket pocket, and when I'm out with black & white film and colour is called for, out it comes. I'm getting slightly better results now I remember to turn off flash in lower light frames! This roll was devved by Darkroom UK and scanned by me with Vuescan Pro; colours turned out better than I'd expected. I did scan a couple to RAW for inversion in @darktable but I've not tried that yet.

Following a suggestion from @tomnorthfilm here's another icy Abbey Lake image in a panorama crop!

(Note, neither the title nor description I'd added to the IPTC metadata in C1Pro made it through to the Alt Text, as I had hoped after seeing a comment from someone else.)
Attached: 4 images Interestingly, my NLP metadata is now coming through in the alt text. I think I’ll leave it for now, that’s a happy surprise. Here’s 4 more. #FilmPhotography #AnalogPhotography #BelieveInFilm #DevelopYourOwn #NikonFM3A #KodakGold200 #Ultramax400
@kaiser_photo Very interesting, thanks. I think it must be Mona that's pre-filling the #AltText for you. I use the Masto web app, no such luck.
BTW I couldn't find a caption field in the IPTC metadata fields shown by C1Pro, but I'd assumed it's either the Title or the Description field. Neither showed up for me! (PS, this page https://www.negativelabpro.com/guide/film-metadata/#why-add-film-metadata suggests that NLP adds its own metadata in parallel, which is good for some EXIF but pointless for IPTC, AFAICS!)

@carusb The Mju2 was such a fantastic camera. The 35mm lens was crisp and sharp with neglectable distortion. Perfect for landscape and urban photography and hat great available light capabilities.
Years ago I wouldn’t leave the house without taking it with me. Great and rugged little camera. 🥰
