One of the places you might find me with camera and lenses is Astley Green Colliery Museum, now known as Lancashire Mining Museum. It's closed at the moment, but when it's open it has an amazing variety of subject matter in a fairly compact site, the perfect place for trying out new cameras and lenses. Entry is free, but donations can be made, and Sue and I decided to join the charity running it (The Red Rose Society) as if we use its facilities on a regular basis it only seems fair to contribute something to the coffers. We also hire the site each year for an evening shoot with ADAPS, Atherton's famous photographic society.
I tend to put pictures from Astley Green into lens reviews, so don't often gather them together, so today here's a small selection of images from the site, just a fraction of the hundreds of pictures that I have shot over many, many years.
