A few posts back I wrote about the Pentax Z10. While I was out I shot an entire roll – here is a small selection of the remainder of the images that I liked, or rather, thought were just about worth sharing! All of the images are made on FP4 Plus and developed in FX55,Continue reading “A Few from the Z10”

Single Photo: The Powder House
While out and about with the Pentax Z10, and taking my usual wander around Poole, the tide was abnormally low. This meant that I could get out further than usual and look back at the path. Above is the Powder House, as seen from the sea side! Built here in the 1750’s so ships couldContinue reading “Single Photo: The Powder House”
How clean is your OM?
The last time I used my Olympus OM I noticed that I had a small light leak. When I looked at the light seals more closely I’m surprised that I didn’t have a massive one! They were gone. I thought I’d have a go at replacing them so ordered up a kit. I have soContinue reading “How clean is your OM?”
Mixing things up!
Last Thursday I developed a film with the last of my FX55. A home made Vitamin-C developer formulated by Geoffrey Crawley. I was introduced to it, and shown how to make it by John Finch over at Pictorial Planet. I’ve found it to be a great developer, fine grain, good contrast, easy to use, andContinue reading “Mixing things up!”
Pentax Z10 (1991)
It seems very strange to me when I start a post like this and note the date (1991), these seem like recent cameras to me and yet it’s 34 years old! Where did the last 3rd of a century go? Anyway, today I write about the said Pentax Z10. It comes with a 28-80mm lens,Continue reading “Pentax Z10 (1991)”
Nearly contre-jour!
From the same canon as “slightly pregnant” or “fairly unique” I offer you “nearly contre-jour”! A couple of weeks ago I was in a church yard, it was a beautiful day the sun was pouring onto the south facing wall of the church – almost too much light! It wasn’t the peaceful idyl it couldContinue reading “Nearly contre-jour!”
Single Photo: A Tree
After a malfunction in the darkroom, something I’m quite annoyed with myself about, and that you’ll hear about in due course, I’m left with a solo photo post today! This comes from the roll of film that I put through the Chinon CE4 the other day, and is my favourite photo from the roll. It’sContinue reading “Single Photo: A Tree”
Chinon CE-4 (1980)
Another week another camera! This time the Chinon CE-4, advertised in 1979 but didn’t really hit the street’s until 1980. There are many similar cameras – when I was younger and tramping around Europe I had a Cosina CT1. That “family” of cameras were very similar. So too were the Ricoh KR’s. This officially hasContinue reading “Chinon CE-4 (1980)”
Single Photo: Saqsaywaman
In Peru, at altitude of just over 12,000 feet stands the Citadel of Saqsaywaman (also known as Sacsayhuamán. It overlooks the city of Cuzco below to the south. General consensus is that it was built in the 15th Century, although signs of habitation of the hill top date right back to around 900CE. It wasContinue reading “Single Photo: Saqsaywaman”
A Photowalk
Nothing new to see here! Sometimes I like to just load up a roll of film, take the camera with me, wherever I’m going, and make a few photo’s here and there of what I like and catches my eye. This time I took with me my Spotmatic – I have two, the SP andContinue reading “A Photowalk”
