It's a couple of years since we last did this show. Last year we did the Scottish Ideal Home Show in May. Back to wet and windy October!

Great Peak District Fair 2014

It was the first day of the Great Peak District Fair today in Buxton Pavilion Gardens. We're in the Octagon as usual with a full stand of photographs.

Busy show so far. Sunday we open at 10am and the show ends at 5pm. Come and see us if you can.

Over 100 exhibitors, art, craft, food and drink including the Buxton Beer Festival.

Scafell Pike in the Sunshine

What a spectacular day we've had in the Lake District! Sunshine pretty much all day. We've come away for a few days taking photos.

Today we went up Scafell Pike, highest mountain in England, to take the pictures I would have taken in June if the weather had been better. Quite a contrast, in June it was heavy rain and thick cloud, today was sunshine with white fluffy clouds most of the day.

Also repeated a shot I took on a dull day many years ago. Great Gable reflected in a small lake. No reflections this time but a great sky.

The black and white picture I also took on my Mamiya 7 camera and Ilford FP4 film. Ran off 5 rolls in total with 10 negatives on each 7 x 6 cm.
