Back in the spring I took my Hasselblad for a walk along Bournemouth promenade loaded with a roll of Fuji NPH 400. It’s a couple of years out of date but had been stored in the fridge. I have a fair bit of colour 120 film to use up and this was the oldest stock,Continue reading “Fuji NPH at Bournemouth”

Piddle, Puddle or Trent #5
This is a “mini” next Chapter as the last one was long enough by it’s self. Athehampton House (above), is a tourist attraction/wedding venue. It is separate from, but is on the edge of Puddletown. The people in the image above are approaching the main entrance to the house, this goes straight into the greatContinue reading “Piddle, Puddle or Trent #5”
Just Two
Sometimes when I go out with a camera I find I’m just not in the mood! Perhaps other stuff is going on and I’m distracted. It doesn’t happen very often but it sometimes does. On this particular occasion I was having my wander around Poole that I do often. It felt like I had photographedContinue reading “Just Two”
Old Wardour Castle
I took the Hasselblad to Old Wardour Castle, which dates to the 1390’s and although now ruined, enough of it stands to make a visit worthwhile. Perhaps best known as being the ancestral home of Kevin Costner in Robin Hood Prince of Thieves, his father of course being Brian Blessed. In case you were wonderingContinue reading “Old Wardour Castle”
Over the back!
It amuses me how certain phrases come into use, sometimes they are very local in the extreme. I suspect this one is relevant to our house! If I leave our back gate, I’m stood on a public footpath. Across from this are a couple of tennis courts, a children’s play area, and a couple ofContinue reading “Over the back!”
Piddle, Puddle or Trent #4
Puddletown is on the River Piddle, in fact it was once called Piddletown but changed it’s name, officially adopted in the 1950’s. Perhaps I should explain to my non-UK readers that “Piddle” is slang for urinating, hence “ohh I need a pee/piddle”. Although as a digression, just too far away from the river to beContinue reading “Piddle, Puddle or Trent #4”
Havenstreet Memorial
From where I was staying on the Ilse of Wight, I usually took the backroad into Newport, then out again in which ever direction I was headed. Most routes on the Island pass through Newport! The first time I did this, I saw a small building on top a hill, just before the village ofContinue reading “Havenstreet Memorial”
Colour at the beach
I took only one roll of colour film with me on my trip to the Isle of Wight, a Kodak Gold 200. These are the last few images from that roll that are worth sharing, and fall into the category of “Out of Season”. All were taken with the trusty Canon EOS30 paired with Canon’sContinue reading “Colour at the beach”
Enjoy your hobby!
Sometimes it’s enough to just go out for a walk and enjoy using a camera. Not every image or roll of film has to be part of a project. Neither does it have to be a test or a trial. No need to take a whole load of gear. I’m 57 in a few daysContinue reading “Enjoy your hobby!”
Newport – Isle of Wight
If there is a capital or centre on the Ilse of Wight then it’s Newport. Most things radiate out from there, and if you are driving on the Island you’ll go through it many times whether you want to or not! On this occasion I’d just visited Carisbrooke Castle, was going through and pulled inContinue reading “Newport – Isle of Wight”
