An aide-memoire postcard from my camera. Monday December 2nd, 2024. 154th Winslow Annual Christmas Prime Stock Show. A traditional Xmas livestock market and third of three I visited that weekend. There were competitive classes for cattle, sheep, and in a side hall homecrafts and photography. This Xmas livestock show was different. It was a takeover of a historic town market square with heavy steel pens and barriers erected to contain the stock. I also took my family for the day out. There were side extras like a vintage butcher’s van and a Victorian gent. The show was popular with the rural community with people pressed 3-5 deep at times trying to see the action. The Supreme Champion sold for £5,600 to the nearby Winslow Bell hotel.
Photographically, it was even more about snatching candid shots in amongst the crowds and steel pens. I met other photographers there including one shooting 35mm film Nikons. I managed to bring out the Minolta 404xi 35mm film camera to finish shooting the developmental British Harman Pheonix colour negative film. I did manage to drop a camera and crack its sacrificial skylight lens. It has unscrewed itself from the harness. Otherwise, the event presented similar challenges to the previous day in Thame, and again the candid monochrome action portraits worked well. Auctioneers and livestock handlers are very dynamic and staff very friendly. For now, time to reflect on compositional and artistic options. #rurallifephotography #learningbydoing #localfood #cattle #sheep #pigs #livestockmarkets #35mmfilm #HarmanPheonix

Friday November 29th, 2024. Thame and the Vale of Aylesbury Primestock Show. A traditional Xmas livestock market and one of three I visited that weekend. There were competitive classes for Cattle and Sheep. The auctioneers started with the sheep before continuing to the cattle. They auctioned the show stock first followed by the commercial stock. Photographically, it was a first for me. I really enjoyed the day. The pens made for interesting parallax and geometry challenges as well as obstructed views. I seriously wanted for my fastest prime lens in the dimmish indoor cattle ring. Candid monochrome action portraits worked well. Auctioneers are very dynamic and staff very friendly. Going forward, knowing the Xmas market and activities will enable me to get to slightly more helpful shooting positions. Good ‘meaty’ compositions for prime cattle are off the front right quarter and for prime lambs it is three of more in a row held with their backs to camera. For now, time to reflect on compositional and artistic options. #rurallifephotography #learningbydoing #localfood #cattle #sheep #livestockmarkets

This was second visit to a Romany horse fair. It was busier than the Hertfordshire fair in April. There were many more horses and foals being traded plus an assortment of trade stands. I am always fascinated by the goods for the travelling way of life and cooking with campfires. Notably, this fair had several fabulous ornate horsedrawn vardo caravans and carts. Horses and riders were to be seen everywhere riding bareback, pulling chariots, being exercised, being taken for a drink, or swimming in the river. The later mesmerised me for half the day.
Photographing the horses in water was a novelty for me. I went for a high shutter speed to capture the water spray. I experimented with the aperture (f stop) to vary how much background is in focus. I also shot in short bursts of two or three photos to pick out the one that best capture the action. The final idea was to add a polarizing filter to the lens to reduce the glare off the water.
Photographically, I also treated myself to six rolls of film photography and photography with the kaleidoscope pyramid filter on the lens.
Overall, I found it a very welcoming day with many coming up to talk about my photography and have a photo taken. There has been a lot of interaction with the photographs over social media with many of the community asking me to send their photos. I learned later that theirs is a way of life that maybe fading away with time. Too often photographers take pictures and vanish, so they are delighted when I make the effort to give back and share via the Roman Heritage community page on Facebook.
The site is remarkably close to where my mother’s grandfather and uncle’s farmed. I am a Leicestershire born and raised lad.
It is also the area where a Leicestershire legend of Bel the giant is based. Five villages lie in a line between Loughborough and Leicester. Bel the giant mounted his mighty horse where the village Mountsorrel now stands then rode by (Rothley village), took one leap to Wanlip village, and then another bigger leap where he landed hard and bust all (Birstall village) and then they buried him at Belgrave village.
