From a ten-year-old negative newly scanned on a Nikon Coolscan V ED, a picture of a fruit vendor at the now-defunct Farnborough Sunday Car Boot.

Walk around Minley
Yesterday and today, P and I finally hiked a new trail in Minley. It’s less than a ten-minute drive away from home, yet we put off going there for more than a year. It’s also now my favourite of all the trails near us. The terrain is quite diverse, changing from pine woodland to heathland to open fields.
Minley Manor can be seen from the trail. It has quite an interesting history: built by former colonist bankers, acquired by MoD, then presently owned by Chinese investors who operate it as a hotel, wedding venue, and Chinese cultural centre.

Up Caesar’s Camp again
Hello, Spring. It looks like the good weather will persist throughout the weekend and into next week.
Today, P and I climbed up Caesar’s Camp. As usual, the view from the top made the climb worth it. We were also lucky to see the cows that roam around the area. But I did not take any pictures because I had to stay quiet so as not to spoil the videos that P was filming on her phone. By the time she finished, they were on their way down the hill through a bushy gully.
I took some test pictures with the D850 and made the same pictures with my Nikon FM2. I reckon the dappled sunlight will come out better on the black-and-white film.
