Stand: Rodinal

I was gifted a roll of Fomapan 100. No box, so no idea what the expiry date was or indeed even if it was a viable film, for all I knew someone may have exposed it all and wound it back into the cassette! I quite often go to Poole for a walk, so decidedContinue reading “Stand: Rodinal”

Dawlish

I still have another post to make about my visit to Exeter, but to have a little break I’m moving forward a day! I walked back to the same railway station as the day before, but took the train in the opposite direction. Down the estuary away from Exeter and along the coast to Dawlish.Continue reading “Dawlish”

Exeter: Walls

Having done a river walk, I moved to walking the walls of Exeter, or as much as I could. There are a few info boards here and there that tell the history and point the visitor in the right direction. For the purposes of a photo blog however, the plaque above perhaps says enough! BelowContinue reading “Exeter: Walls”

Exeter: River Walk

I was staying a short walk from the village of Starcross, on the river Exe. This has a train stop on the rail route that runs from Exeter, down along the side of the Exe Estuary, sometimes right on the very edge – more to come on that! Above the Class 166 DMU no 207Continue reading “Exeter: River Walk”

An old new church on sea

The photo above was taken on the sea wall of Teignmouth as I walked back to the car park. A fairly typical sea side view, but from the same spot turning 180 degrees, I made the photo below. By my calculations St Michaels in Teignmouth is about 30 meters from the sea! I looked upContinue reading “An old new church on sea”

Teignmouth #2

The end of my last post about Teignmouth found me at the end of the pier, losing £1’s worth of 2ps in an arcade machine. I won a few back, but then fed them into the greedy machine, so I left no richer than when I arrived, not that I expected to! I continued on.Continue reading “Teignmouth #2”

Ilford’s Colour Amnesia

or “Is Ilford Harman or Harman Ilford?” The official release from Harman for Phoenix 120 says: “Following the release of our first ever 35mm colour film in late 2023, we’re thrilled to announce that HARMAN Phoenix is now also available in 120 format”. Fair enough, and I realise they say HARMAN, and seem to beContinue reading “Ilford’s Colour Amnesia”

Teignmouth #1

I took the motorhome down to Teignmouth, parked up, and made the post you saw a couple of posts ago with the phone. You can see it in the middle of the image above. I did of course take a “proper” camera with me, my Canon EOS 30, with the 40mm STM pancake lens attached.Continue reading “Teignmouth #1”

“The Night The Country Never Slept”

As I sit writing this a BBC film from 1984 has just finished a repeat on BBC Four. Nothing unusual so far. When I tell you that as far as I know it is it’s first repeat, (at least I’ve not known it to be shown since)* then the story deepens slightly. I sat andContinue reading ““The Night The Country Never Slept””

To Cockwood Harbour

I’ve been on a short break! I took the Motorhome on it’s maiden voyage, about 100 miles, down into Devon, to the small village of Cofton. I’m sure you won’t have heard of Cofton, but you may have heard of it’s neighbour – Dawlish. I got to the campsite at about 4pm, figured out theContinue reading “To Cockwood Harbour”
