Water Mill drive converter wheel.
Going through old negatives, I found a sheet from the early 1980s of Padley Mill and Padley woods in the Peak District National Park: Derbyshire.
Kodacolor VR200 film which was made between 1982 to 86, this helped me date them at more than 35 years old.
I have been scanning and converting some into B&W.
Hi David! I really do love the tonal ramge you get into your images. Lovely image too! All the best Andy
Thank you Andy, very kind of you to say so, especially as my bête noire is scanning.
Very nice, David! The sepia tone makes it look even older.
Thank you.
The mill site gets a mention in the Doomesday book and the whole area around it is full of fascinating history.
Sepia B&W seemed the perfect choice (it also means I don’t have to colour correct old negatives 😉) more to follow
