Black and white photo of a field in front of a ruined castle. In the field is a gray horse turning as it paces to and fro.

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.

Black and white photo showing part of a flooded area in a field lit by low winter sun. There are bunches of reeds and a strange wooden structure in the still water, with their reflections. In the field beyond is a tree that has been cut down but is regenerating.

What a wonderful group of people we have here. This started off as my “side” account and is now where I spend most of my time on Mastodon. Thanks to all of you.

Today is my last #FolderWeek post - what a wonderful week it’s been. I’m very process-oriented, so fiddling with a new camera and developing film brings me as much, if not more, joy as seeing the photos themselves.

These are from my small town’s downtown area. Our downtown park has an old railroad caboose in it, behind an events stage for various town events.

An attention sign warning to not climb on the caboose, with a large metal wheel or valve of some kind

A view of one of the wheels of the caboose, the rail beneath it, and the splotchy, weathered side of the caboose

A wooden fence painted with local bird species. Patio lights are draped across it.

A blank wall with a single AC unit stuck onto the side of it.

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 .

Black and white photo taken directly into the sun, shielded by the trunk of a large winter tree, whose shadows are cast towards the viewer. Abbey Lake and the trees beyond it lie behind the tree.

My penultimate #FolderWeek post features some more pictures from the State Park.

These are my favorite of the 3 rolls I shot there, so I saved them for the last set from that location.

Stairs. To where? Wherever you want them to go.

A wooden fence and the shadow it casts on an asphalt path

Picnic tables under a picnic shelter, the slant of the sunlight and the partial cover provides a good bit of contrast and shadow.

6 canoes on a rack, chained and locked together. 3 are in sun, 3 in shadow.

Today’s #FolderWeek post features a few shots from a local State Park which is on the lake. There are miles and miles of trails there; I got there about two hours before sunset and the weather was beautiful.

A view across a cove of the lake, trees reflected in the relatively still water

A weathered trunk of a long-fallen tree in the woods

A leaning tree with a white blaze, indicating that I was in fact not lost

Black and white photo of a bent winter tree standing alone in an empty field. A long way behind three other trees stand on the hedge line.

Another day of #FolderWeek is already upon us!

Today's post features a few images from around the neighborhood. There is a playground for childrean near the neighborhood pool, and there is a patch of woods adjacent to our development where neighborhood kids build forts and sometimes carve on trees.

#Voightlander Perkeo

A view of a children’s playground, casting shadows

Another view underneath one of the playground platforms, where sunlight is shining through the perforated surface of the platform.

Two relatively smooth-barked trees next to each other, with shadows of their own leaves which are hanging above.

A platform neighborhood kids built out of shipping pallets, with the words “stop stealing” spray painted on them…presumably to ask other kids to not run off with pieces of their base.

Black and white photo showing a narrow country lane between wide grass verges bounded by hedges and several winter trees, arching over the road. It is foggy. A telegraph pole behind the tree to the left; in the distance a speed limit sign, and as the road curves towards its vanishing point, the small figure of a walker just emerging from the mist.

To begin #FolderWeek - a few shots from around the house. Actually managed to scan today so I hope to be posting a few each day this week if I can manage it!

#Voightlander Perkeo
#TriX400 (last photo is #TMAX400 but I lumped it with these based on the location)
#XTOL

The last photo is technically underexposed, but I like the sort of silhouette vibe it has.

A photo of a bunch of records on a shelf

A philatelic library - various books about stamps and related history, and other postal ephemera

A Boston Terrier on an armless chair, laying in the one spot of afternoon sun coming through a small window

Tree silhouette and foggy park.

Black and white portrait format photo of a winter tree divided into 3 vertical branches, almost in silhouette. Down the hill in the foggy background a path runs diagonally through the park; a group of 3 people are visible just to the right of the tree. To the left, near where the path disappears, a pollarded tree can just be seen; it is by the invisible lake.

Two swans glide across a foggy winter lake. There are reeds and bulrushes in the right foreground, and bare winter trees across the top beyond the lake. A few seagulls fly low across the lake. Black and white photo.

Black and white portrait format photo showing a ruined stone wall, taller at the right where the remnants of a huge stone window can be seen. In the centre, a stone doorway frames a winter tree, softened by fog. The huge stone keep looms through the mist to the left.

A foggy day in winter; a row of bare trees reflected in the still water of a small lake, with bulrushes on both sides. Black and white photo in portrait format.

Looking across a pedestrian bridge, past the wooden visitors shop to the left, towards Kenilworth Castle shrouded in fog. There are winter trees to right and left, and a group of people approaching the bridge. Black and white photo.

Some walkers on a path beside a dark hedge on the right, with overhanging winter trees. Above them on their left, more walkers are on a different path (this one known as the Tiltyard, forming the entrance to the Castle). Black and white photo.

Black and white photo of people milling about among the old stone ruins of Kenilworth Castle. In the centre of the frame, a group of people, the nearest holding a sheet of music, are gathered round their conductor, whose music is on a stand, ready to sing their next (and last of this session) song, on Boxing Day morning.

3 rolls of #IlfordDelta400 and half roll of #IlfordHP5Plus dev’d and drying. Used #XTOL since I already had it out for the Delta 400…finer grain developer seemed appropriate. Depending on how dry these get, I may be able to scan tonight.

That leaves just a handful of bulk-rolled Delta 400 and #TriX400 left in the fridge. Once I get those taken care of, my goal is to mostly limit myself to one film stock (#IlfordHP5Plus) to really get to know it for a while.
