Nick De Marco Posted May 8, 2008 Share #1 Posted May 8, 2008 Advertisement (gone after registration) Just finished editing a new gallery of photos shot during a weekend stay in the Peak District, focussing on the early Mill town industries of Derbyshire, which sparked the Industrial Revolution in England. Most photos are taken inside the "Working textile factory museum" at Mason Mills. All are shot in black and white on Leica cameras and usually in low light with wide open apertures. Most on the the M8 with Nockton 35mm f1.2 - this was when I discovered what a great lens this can be wide open in low light situations. A few of the others are shot on an old M2 with 50mm summicron f2 lens and 400 ISO film Here are a couple M8 - 35mm Nockton f1.2 M2 - 50mm Summicron f2 - Neopan 400 If you have a minute please do check out the whole gallery at: Early Industry Photo Gallery by Nick De Marco at pbase.com Thanks Nick Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

andybarton Posted May 8, 2008 Share #2 Posted May 8, 2008 Very good - and excellent gallery too. Looks like a great place for a forum meet Obviously, they have no problem with people taking photographs. Did you have to apply for permission at all?

Nick De Marco Posted May 8, 2008 Author Share #3 Posted May 8, 2008 Not at all. I always worry about that (God how I hate the "You can't photograph this/me" culture in the UK these ays.). But when the guy collecting tickets at the door saw me with my 2 cameras around my neck (albeit they were handsome Leicas not great bulky DSLRs with flash lights) he immediately sparked up and said - "Oh, it's a great place for taking photos in there" and proceeded to give me a lengthy explanation of where the best places to see things were. Very friendly. I think I saw one Japanese guy with a Nikon take a couple of photos but nobody else inside was. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

roguewave Posted May 9, 2008 Share #6 Posted May 9, 2008 Nick, well enjoyed. I like the narrow DOF with the wide open aperature and great bokeh. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
