I’ve had a three day break over the weekend. Saturday the weather was wet and horrible. I watched the coronation on TV. Yesterday the weather was actually quite nice, and we had our own garden party after a fashion, which was very enjoyable, and most of us consumed far too much alcohol. Today the weatherContinue reading “Digital: The Coronation”

Blog: Top 3 last year
I don’t really look at the figures of this blog very much. I suspect they are tiny compared to some. I look at it as my way of being able to share my photography, if anyone else enjoys it, then great, I’m pleased. One thing I do enjoy is seeing what countries people have viewedContinue reading “Blog: Top 3 last year”
35mm: Holes Bay
Holes Bay is part of the area of Poole that has had a bit of a transformation in recent years. Part of that, is the building of a new bridge “Twin Sails”. So named as the road across the gap is divided diagonally, so when raised, it’s two triangles resemble the sails of a passingContinue reading “35mm: Holes Bay”
35mm: RNLI at Poole
When I was a child the RNLI base at Poole was a medium size office block. I remember the statue above the door, a man in sou’wester looking towards the sea – it’s still there. Since my childhood the operation has expanded massively, and now joining the original headquarters building is an “all weather lifeboatContinue reading “35mm: RNLI at Poole”
35mm: Leica Goes to the Sea
Whilst taking a family member to hospital the other day, I had a good hour or so to fill, so I decided to have a wander. I have often been to Poole and written about it, but this time I thought I’d try a different patch. The Hunger Hill area is off the beaten walkingContinue reading “35mm: Leica Goes to the Sea”
Leica M6
When I was 50 (nearly 4 years ago, in case you were wondering!) I decided that I would treat myself to a “once in a lifetime” purchase, to mark this landmark. Some might say midlife crisis! Call it what you will. I had also just sold my 5×4 outfit – a Toyo 45a, so IContinue reading “Leica M6”
Digital: A bit more street!
Street photography doesn’t come naturally to me. I’d like it too, but I feel I need much more practice and nerve. I think I’m slowly getting better than I used to be, maybe this summer I’ll make some better progress. These images were mostly made on a cheap, cheerful and old Panasonic bridge camera. IContinue reading “Digital: A bit more street!”
6X6: Hengistbury Head
I took the Hasselblad out to Hengistbury Head a few days back. If you feel so inclined there is a really informative Wiki page which can be found here. The ‘blad performed perfectly and I managed a few good images. It was a lovely day, the sun was out. I soon finished a roll, loadedContinue reading “6X6: Hengistbury Head”
35mm: Takumar Trek Pt1
I’m determined to get out and about with my cameras more this year. The idea of a “Takumar Trek” caught my eye over on the “Random Camera Blog” (link on the blogs I read page), so I’ve stolen the title, and am going to take my own Spotmatic SPII out for walkies. Just in caseContinue reading “35mm: Takumar Trek Pt1”
Changes afoot!
When I started this blog, I had no idea what I was doing – not least, whether I would loose interest in it within 6 months! I’m pleased to say that hasn’t happened and I fully intend to continue building it! In some way’s it’s my best photographic accessory! Now as it approaches it’s secondContinue reading “Changes afoot!”
