Last week I attended a lovely wedding in Christchurch Priory. Once upon a time I did wedding photography, as I watched the “pro” whizzing about I thought how nice it was to just sit and be involved with the service for a change! These days it seems the thing for wedding photographers to wear blackContinue reading “Christchurch Priory on Delta”

Single Photo (nearly!): Banksy
Banksy may or may not be Robin Gunningham, the latter was a student of Bristol Cathedral School, approximately 110 meters away from this “Banksy” “You Don’t Need Planning Permission to Build Castles in the Sky” (above). Just the other side of the river (600 meters away) is Banksy’s “The Girl With Pearl Earring” or IContinue reading “Single Photo (nearly!): Banksy”
Longham Lakes
While I had my first roll of Kodak Pro Image 100 in my trusty Nikon F3 I took a walk to another local spot that I’ve neglected to visit, even though it’s within walking distance of home – Longham Lakes. This was once fields noted for brown hares. In 1994 planning permission was sought andContinue reading “Longham Lakes”
Guildford Cathedral on XP2
From the outside there’s something 1950’s power station about Guildford Cathedral. If it looks a tad familiar, it’s known as “The Omen church” for it was outside the front door that Gregory Peck and Lee Remick had a spot of bother with their errant son! More recently the nave was used in Netflix “The Sandman”Continue reading “Guildford Cathedral on XP2”
Kodak Pro Image 100: One Roll Try
What is a “Sang”? What is Kodak Pro Image 100 like? I visit one to find out! Having never tried this film I purchased a roll a while back, it sat in my “film to use” box and finally I’ve gotten around to using it! Apparently it’s been manufactured by Kodak since 1997 (Analogue Wonderland),Continue reading “Kodak Pro Image 100: One Roll Try”
A few more from Bristol
Back at Easter I had a day trip to Bristol, it didn’t quite go to plan, I walked to Bristol Cameras, only to find them closed. Before I left I had discovered that the Cathedral was closed for the day, or rather I would be there about half an hour after it had closed havingContinue reading “A few more from Bristol”
Pentax Auto 110 (1978)
When you say 110 to most people, they think of very cheap, poor performance plastic cameras, with a flash one end, and a viewfinder the other. I had one of those back in the day, I still had it when I had progressed to the Zenith 11. I know this as I made a photoContinue reading “Pentax Auto 110 (1978)”
Ektar in the Zeiss Ikon
It’s been a while since I used any film in my Zeiss Ikon 517/16. I loaded up a roll of Kodak Ektar and set off on a glorious sunny day, for a walk around the local town of Wimborne Minster. No purpose other than to have a walk and make 12 images! I did discoverContinue reading “Ektar in the Zeiss Ikon”
Developing 110
There are certain times when I’m in mid flow doing something and I think to myself “why ever did I start this”? Going back about 4 weeks, I ordered amongst other things, a roll of Lomography Orca B/W 110 film from Analogue Wonderland. I see that it’s made in Chechia so I’m assuming it’s actuallyContinue reading “Developing 110”
Canon FT QL (1966)
The Canon FTQL was released in March 1966, as such is 3 years older than me! I wish I was in such good condition! They were offered with a choice of three different lenses. The fist option was 50mm f1.8, (as seen here), a 50mm f1.4 and a 55mm f1.2 (not 58mm as Wiki suggests!).Continue reading “Canon FT QL (1966)”
