The other day I tore the paper off a single use camera. It was one of those that came from a budget source rather than a genuine Kodak or Fuji one. Often they are recycled and just re-papered, not a bad thing really. In this case it turned out to have a back door! ThisContinue reading “Re-usable single use camera!”

S is for Shaftesbury
You may remember back in late spring, early summer I started a little A-Z of Dorset project. Then the very hot summer hit, we had some illness in the family and so it went onto the back burner. I did use a couple more rolls of film, that made up a second batch of colourContinue reading “S is for Shaftesbury”
Single Photo: Old Wardour Castle
Back in the summer I made a visit to Old Wardour Castle. I had one colour exposure left in my A12 mag loaded with Kodak Ektar 100, so I made the photo above and then loaded in a roll of FP4. It was a bright, hot day, as I sit writing this, it’s now dull,Continue reading “Single Photo: Old Wardour Castle”
Butlins – Bognor Regis
While in Bognor Regis I stayed at the Butlins Holiday Park. Not the obvious place to find me but…. As well as the famous or should that be infamous (!) chalets, there are also two hotels. Apart from the great price, they are pretty good hotels, and the Shoreline Hotel (below) where I stayed, isContinue reading “Butlins – Bognor Regis”
Portsmouth Guildhall
Portsmouth Town Hall was designed by William Hill, it opened in 1890. In 1926 Portsmouth was granted city status and so it became the Guildhall. During the second world war more than one incendiary bomb fell on he building, and it was gutted with only the outer, fire damaged walls remaining. After the war itContinue reading “Portsmouth Guildhall”
Potter around Old Portsmouth
While I was in Portsmouth I had a wander around an older part that I’d not been to before. Portsmouth is actually on an Island (Portsea Island), down in the south is Southsea, but just south of the current naval base is “Old Portsmouth”. It’s home to the garrison church I shared last time. FromContinue reading “Potter around Old Portsmouth”
Royal Garrison Church, Portsmouth
Chatter: For this series of posts I used the Canon EOS 30 with the Canon STM 40mm lens. I use this combo a lot! The film was, once again Foma 200, bulk loaded, although I’m nearing the end of this 30.5 meters already, especially with the help of this trip! Film developed at the kitchenContinue reading “Royal Garrison Church, Portsmouth”
A Walk along Felpham Beach
As is often the case, especially in English sea side towns, one blends into the next without any gap. So it is with Bognor Regis. One can walk along the seafront and wander into Felpham to it’s east, without even noticing. I did just that on a nice sunny morning back in September. Two wellContinue reading “A Walk along Felpham Beach”
Random Brighton
Other than “Brighton” this post has no theme as such, really just a collection of random images I made while wandering around the town. The photo above I quite like, with the sea gull posing, a cyclist, the old derelict pier in the background. Below are a few more! Chatter: For this series of postsContinue reading “Random Brighton”
Brighton old pier
Brighton has had three piers in it’s time. There was the Royal Suspension Chain Pier, opened in 1823, but destroyed in a storm in 1896. It’s replacement was the Brighton Palace Pier, which opened a couple of years later in 1899. That of course is still going strong! Between those two in time there wasContinue reading “Brighton old pier”
