So then... slightly odd explore in that I CALLED SECURITY whilst there! Turns out that the tram museum next door put a big metal gate accross the access road and lock it at 4pm... then go home leaving me trapped inside with the car lol... following a slightly awkward telephone call to security on the 0800 number blazened accross the sign on the gate a very nice chap turned up in a white van and let me out an hour later, no questions asked
I took these using my trusty old Canon AV-1 film camera, an out of date roll of Fuji Velivia, a 35mm f2.0 and a 20mm f2.8. They have what I thought was a bit of an odd colour cast, probably due to the film being out of date.. but I actualy quite like it so will use the other 12 rolls I have at some point. Was nice to have the wait for them to arrive through the post and see how they turned out. Out of the 36 I took, this 20 were the best of the bunch, the rest were a bit overexposed. Ohh and I dont have a scanner so I had to photo the photos with the 7D with a bit of vignette added in photoplop
The quarry has been closed about two years and has no vandalism, theft or beer cans strewn.. probably due to its remote location, but is a lovely explore and worth the gawps fromt he people taking tram rides past about twenty feet away!
Cheers for looking.
