To commemorate the 80th anniversary of the D-Day landings, Dorchester welcomed the historic vehicle parade once again. I am old enough that I remember filming the 40th anniversary events on Weymouth beach with my super 8 camera! I wondered if any of those vehicles were there too! After using my Hasselblad for quite a bitContinue reading “6th June +80”

An Exciting Development… Coming Soon!
Roger Fenton (1819-1869), English photographer, worked from his portable ‘Photographic Van‘ during the Crimean War. Well it may be his van, but sat on it, is his assistant Marcus Sparling…
A Walk from South Zeal
I had picked up one of those community leaflets, the type that offer “5 walks around South Zeal” in this case walk 5 to Shilley/Shelly Pool, caught my eye. There always seems to be two names for things around these parts. Having parked up, walked out of the village into the countryside, up a ratherContinue reading “A Walk from South Zeal”
Okehampton Castle in Colour
A while back I wrote a post about Okehampton Castle, and photographed it in B/W on my little Olympus XA2 on out-of-date FP4. You can re-read that here if you’d like! I also took along the Hasselblad and used, nearly a roll of colour. I’m not sure I overly like Fuji 400 Pro. It seemsContinue reading “Okehampton Castle in Colour”
Into the Woods
I have two backs for my Hasselblad, so apart from shooting mostly Pan-F black and white, I could also have some colour on the go at the same time. In this case I’d cracked open my last (?) 5 pack of Fuji 400 Pro. I’m not sure if this is officially now discontinued or justContinue reading “Into the Woods”
Another day, another tor!
A little further on from my last post lies Saddle Tor, rising about 1473 feet above sea level. As such it provides lovely views over Dartmoor. This day was a continuation of my previous post so I’ll not repeat the details again – they are the same! Finally the view from Saddle Tor, looking backContinue reading “Another day, another tor!”
Haytor, Dartmoor
Another day spent up on Dartmoor on my recent vacation to Devon, saw me at Haytor, or Haytor Rocks to be exact. As usual for this trip I had my Hasselblad 501cm with me, the 80mm Zeiss CFi lens on and a roll of Ilford Pan-F plus in. By this point in my trip I’dContinue reading “Haytor, Dartmoor”
A Black and White Birthday!
I’ve just had my 55th Birthday! It seems incredulous that I am that old, my birth certificate confirms it however! This year my loved ones gave me a “Black and White” Birthday!! Way back in 1990 I went to the cinema, it was a very common event. It was one of my “trips” up toContinue reading “A Black and White Birthday!”
Lydford Gorge: Colour
A couple of posts ago I wrote about Lydford Gorge and how it’s been split in two by the raging waters of the winter. This post is “the other end” which was once the main start point for a walk through the gorge. A new bridge (above) now spans the river Lyd, to take walkersContinue reading “Lydford Gorge: Colour”
Hamworthy Park: A Hidden Gem
Hamworthy Park is adjacent to Poole and just off my normal walking route when I visit there. I’ve been to it before, but sort of forgot about it! I had reason to go again not too long ago, and thought I’d take my Zeiss Nettar 6×6 folder with me for a change. I haven’t usedContinue reading “Hamworthy Park: A Hidden Gem”
