People who know me will attest that I am not (any longer) a religious person. I was in my youth, and it was thought I may become a priest!! I’ll write more about that sometime. That doesn’t mean that I am not interested in religion – I am. During those years I occasionally came overContinue reading “Single Photo: The Maranatha Christian Church”

Kodachrome- Blast from the past
I opened up an old light meter today, tucked in the case under the meter was a folded piece of paper and the end of a film box for Kodachrome. Imagine a roll of process paid slide film for £3:65 !!! The English part of the info sheet doesn’t really impart great knowledge, except forContinue reading “Kodachrome- Blast from the past”
Single Photo: Roman Source
Last time I wrote about the Roman villa uncovered and preserved in Dorchester. In this “single photo” post I’ve chosen a fountain near the centre of town. It’s entirely new, but commemorates the spot “close to where” the roman well once stood. You may spot on the far left in the background the house isContinue reading “Single Photo: Roman Source”
Dorchester’s Roman House
Tucked away behind the council offices is a Roman house, described by the Dorset museum as “the only fully exposed example of its kind in the entire country”. I have no idea whether that’s true or not, but I have no reason to doubt their accuracy. The steel work, glass and roof have been addedContinue reading “Dorchester’s Roman House”
E72 Paper Developer
Last time I purchased a litre of Ilford Multigrade Paper developer it had gone off and I had to return it. I don’t think it was age per-se, there was a tiny hole in the foil seal, plenty large enough for air to get in. After that I told myself I’d make my own. FinallyContinue reading “E72 Paper Developer”
Sekonic L308-s Lightmeter
We often write about cameras from various decades, or write about our experiences with different film emulsions. Rarely do we write about exposure or more accurately, metering. I suspect that this is for a few reasons, but mainly how interested are you in the “science of photography” or put another way, are you more interestedContinue reading “Sekonic L308-s Lightmeter”
‘Zines
For a while now I’ve been looking at ‘zines. I’ve been getting a feel for the format, size, orientation, number of pages, quantity of photo’s, and so on. For what I have in mind I think the A5 format will be about right. The exact number of pages will be determined by the number ofContinue reading “‘Zines”
Single Photo: Old Poole
There is a walking heritage trail around Poole, known as the Cockle Trail. The image above is Market Steet. Just off to the right of the image is the Guildhall. This row of Georgian houses have been restored and cared for in recent times. To the left of the “Grain and Seed Merchants” is “TheContinue reading “Single Photo: Old Poole”
Municipal Beach Huts
The other day I was taking a stroll along Bournemouth sea front with my Olympus OM2n. Just for fun, I do this a handful of times a year. I came across a beach hut with a blue plaque. Perhaps I should explain that in the UK these are placed to mark an important occupant, buildingContinue reading “Municipal Beach Huts”
St Peter’s Church, Dorchester
While in Dorchester for the Heritage Day I also popped in to St Peter’s. It’s open all week to anyone, so no need specifically on that day, but I fancied a wander anyway. There has been a church here since 1454 but what stands today is mostly from the 15th century. At the western endContinue reading “St Peter’s Church, Dorchester”
