8th May

Still using the Hasselblad and the digital cameras I went to the National Mining Museum at Wakefield. It is an excellent museum with many school groups attending. There is the option to go below ground to the coal face but I didn't think there would be many photo opportunities down there and having a full schedule for the day passed on that option. My main aim was to capture the pithead and surrounding machinery.

There was also an extremely good photography gallery with the photography of John Davies & Chris Killip as well as many anonymous photgraphers

Took various photos with both cameras but I am having problems reducing the medium format images I scanned.
