I'm old enough to remember the thrill of these noisy monsters from my childhood days before my folks could afford a car, and I'm right back there when I see, hear and smell one now. Nikon F80, Tamron 28-75, Kodak Gold, Filmdev. January 2020.

I have edited the opening page to extend the closing date to 5th January. Hopefully Santa will be bringing film scanners to some of you.

I'm feeling lucky, despite not having entered yet, because the closing date is my birthday!
 
Sometime in the Summer, maybe when I was about ten years old, my grandfather took me, my elder sister and brother to walk up Pendle Hill.

I have no idea why he chose to do this. We travelled by bus from Keighley (Yorkshire Traction bus services), via Colne to somewhere close to the hill. I don't remember where we started. This shot was taken by me with my Brownie 127 at the trig point.

My grandfather told me later that the walk up nearly killed him; he only had one fully functioning lung after having been shot in the chest on the Somme. He served in The Duke of Wellington's West Yorkshire Regiment After his injury he worked in The Labour Corps.

Strangely, in this picture, he is not wearing his flat cap.

No idea of the film type.
