For those of you who have not read my previous posts relating to my recent Devon trip. I took my Canon EOS30, with the 40mm STM lens attached for a walk around Dawlish Warren, down in sunny Devon (UK). I had the film (Fuji C200) lab developed but scanned the negs on my Epson V600Continue reading “More Colour from Dawlish”

A Visit to the Bill Douglas Museum
While I was in Exeter I made a visit to the Bill Douglas Cinema Museum. It is on the campus of Exeter University. I’ve wanted to visit since I first heard about it. Back in the mid 80’s, I met the man himself, he seemed interested that a teenager would be videoing the proceedings. SomewhereContinue reading “A Visit to the Bill Douglas Museum”
To Squeegee or not to squeegee!
Years ago I dumped my film squeegee. I always thought it was a stupid idea to pull one’s wet, soft and easily damaged emulsion through a rubber wiper. It’s just asking for trouble! Then one day the inevitable happened and I threw it in the bin in disgust. Years later of course I could scanContinue reading “To Squeegee or not to squeegee!”
Going up!
I have it on good authority that, at least here in the UK, the cost price of Ilford film is going to increase between 4% and 6% on December 1st. That means on certain films, the retail price may rise by as much as 10%. Obviously I can take no reasonability for passing on theContinue reading “Going up!”
Armistice Day
Several years ago I visited Bodiam Castle in Kent. I arrived by steam train! One of the exhibits at the Bodiam Station was the “Cavell Van” (above). It’s a luggage van which had carried the body of Edith Cavell, a nurse executed in 1915 for helping Allied service personnel escape occupied Belgium. What I didn’tContinue reading “Armistice Day”
Colour at the Fair
I had a roll of Fuji C200 in the EOS, and what better place to get a few colour shots than at the fair – Chatter: Canon EOS 30 with 40mm STM lens, “New” Fuji C200. Lab developed, home scanned (along with the dust) 🙂
Onto Dawlish Warren
Having walked the entire length of the seafront in Dawlish on a glorious sunny October day, I continued on, passing behind Langstone Rock. The Langstone rock field (above) is just the other side of the rock. A haven for sea life that likes tidal rock pools. It is here that the sea wall and theContinue reading “Onto Dawlish Warren”
Not Quite Forgotten
A “single photo” type post. I’ve walked past this house before in the early morning and noticed they still have milk delivered in the traditional way from my youth! Yes, a milkman delivering milk in milk bottles! It still exists – this image was made last week! This particular morning I happened to have myContinue reading “Not Quite Forgotten”
Dawlish: Sea Wall
Once I’d finished my quick walk around the town of Dawlish, I walked along the sea wall. It’s recently been completely re-built due to storm damage, and very impressive it is! The photo above is taken from the narrow old pier that juts out into the sea (below). From the same spot you can makeContinue reading “Dawlish: Sea Wall”
Cars in Peril
Never a dull moment! I drove back from my holiday in Devon on a Friday. Two days later I was sat in the lounge and saw some smoke and assumed a winter fire to burn some leaves. Then it got bigger, then bigger again. To cut a long story short a Vauxhall Zafira across theContinue reading “Cars in Peril”
