Cars at Pilford

Pilford Heritage Show isn’t really a car show – it’s many things, but there are always a few interesting cars to make a few photo’s of. I’ve done a couple of quite “wordy” posts recently – so this, for a change, is going to be just a selection of images! Chatter: Ilford Delta 400, inContinue reading “Cars at Pilford”

The Tarrants: Pt3

Tarrant Monkton is the next of the Tarrant Villages, that follow the course of the little River Tarrant. I skirted the edge of it. The main part of “Monkton” is the others ide of the ford. I’ll visit the church another day! The ford here though is a pretty spot. The hamlet of Tarrant RawstonContinue reading “The Tarrants: Pt3”

Darkroom: Testing Developers

So why did I just run though a whole roll of fresh FP4+ on the scene above? The answer is mastery! Well maybe that’s a bit grand – let me explain my thoughts… Chapter One: The Film One of the many joy’s I’ve had in the last few years, accelerated by starting this blog, hasContinue reading “Darkroom: Testing Developers”

Tractors at Pilford

One of the things about the Pilford Heritage Show that I attended again this year is that not only are things on show, they are often things that are used. I made four or five shots of tractors being driven around the ring by their owners. I’m not madly excited about tractors, but then againContinue reading “Tractors at Pilford”

35mm: Takumar Trek Pt3

For those who have been following this little series of posts, you may remember that part two finished with a photo taken from the car as I drove west, on part of the Castleman Trail, that is now buried under the road. If you feel like a catch up, part 2 is here. The “TakumarContinue reading “35mm: Takumar Trek Pt3”

Film: Buying a brick!

I was going to buy a “brick” of Ilford FP4+ in 35mm a few days ago. As some of you know, I have quite a large amount of out-of-date FP4+ to use up, but I’m going to be doing a few tests over the coming weeks and wanted to do it with fresh stock. RatherContinue reading “Film: Buying a brick!”

6×6: Milton Abbas

I took my Hasselblad with a roll of Portra 160 to the small but beautiful village of Milton Abbas for the day. The village has a long history, but what is seen today is little more than 250 years old. One Joseph Damer having purchased the whole village and knocked it all down to useContinue reading “6×6: Milton Abbas”

First Few of Pilford 2023

Last weekend was the Pilford Heritage Show 2023. When I arrived the larger haulage trucks were already doing their thing in the arena. It’s a very relaxed show, never overcrowded, so it was easy to just walk up to the edge and start making a few photo’s. My camera was already loaded and ready toContinue reading “First Few of Pilford 2023”

35mm: Not the Wimborne Folk Festival

Back in June I had a week off work – at the end of that week was the Wimborne Folk Festival. I’ve caught the end of it before and always thought it would be good to have a day there. It’s advertised as being all day Friday, Saturday and Sunday. I loaded up a rollContinue reading “35mm: Not the Wimborne Folk Festival”

Darkroom: A day of processing!

Technically I don’t have a darkroom – so perhaps the title should read darkbag, but anyway I’ve been processing today. The first bit of news is that last weekend was the Pilford Heritage Show, and I managed to visit again. I was hoping to take some 6×6 and 35mm but in the end I didn’tContinue reading “Darkroom: A day of processing!”
