Fujica Compact 35

I haven’t been enthused about trying any new cameras recently, in fact I’ve been more in the mind of using what I know and really getting to know it better. A few weeks ago however I was gifted a Fujica Compact 35, and that broke the mould and made me want to try it out.Continue reading “Fujica Compact 35”

Business Speak

One of my Christmas gifts this year was a lemon LEUCHTTURM 1917 A5 Notebook. I’ve had one before so I knew what to expect, and I’ll say right off that I like them. The quality feels good, as does the paper inside. I use a notebook when I travel. It helps me put rolls ofContinue reading “Business Speak”

Merry Christmas!

This year in an attempt to reduce my carbon footprint, I’m sending very few actual cards. Apart from the waste involved in the card and envelope (and it’s packaging) there is also the delivering of it, either me “doing a route” and leaping in and out of the car, or the post office doing itContinue reading “Merry Christmas!”

Weymouth #5 (Final)

In this last post of my walk along the entire length of Weymouth seafront, I reach the harbour, but before that, what were once old brightly coloured beach huts, have now been replaced by swish new wood coloured kisoks, aiming to look like up-turned boats. I’m not sure if I miss the old colourful hutsContinue reading “Weymouth #5 (Final)”

Door Wreaths

I popped out for a quick lunchtime walk, the first image I made was of a Christmas Wreath on a door so then I got sort of locked on and made more! All of these were made within about 10 minutes of each other! Chatter: Canon 5D with 50mm f1.4

Wonder of Walnuts

At the start of last week I did a very small favour for an older Ukrainian couple. After chatting with them for a few minutes I discovered that they had been in the UK for a couple of months and that they came from Odessa. To any film fan like me that means Potemkin StairsContinue reading “Wonder of Walnuts”

Weymouth #4 (George III)

About half way along the main part of Weymouth’s sea-front stands the “Jubilee Clock”. It’s a landmark that commemorates Queen Victoria’s 50 years of reign in 1887. Before that however Weymouth was put on the map and made popular by King George III. Yes, the one famous for being mad! As a treatment for hisContinue reading “Weymouth #4 (George III)”

Single Shot… Yellow Rope

Made whilst out on a photo walk around Poole. I’ve photographed this more than once before! Below is from my recently failed out-of-date roll of Kodak Colour Plus that reminds me of a quote I remember but can’t remember who said it or where I read it! “Digital was the coming of age of colourContinue reading “Single Shot… Yellow Rope”

Weymouth #3

Nothing like an empty sea-side shelter on a winter day! I used to sit in this very shelter as a kid and eat my sandwich, apple and packet of crisps (potato chips!). Opposite it stands the Hotel Prince Regent. Maybe “the” hotel in Weymouth although a couple others may disagree, it’s location is hard toContinue reading “Weymouth #3”

Weymouth #2

Continuing on directly from my previous post as I walked along Weymouth sea front, I paused to make a couple of images of the “beach huts”. While these are not exclusively a British phenomenon, they are very typical, and out of season, a certain have a certain feel. In Weymouth they come in many shapesContinue reading “Weymouth #2”
