You’ll be sorry to hear that I’m near the end of my Liverpool stash of photography! As you can tell by the number of posts I’ve made, I found a lot to interest me there, and therefore did a lot of photography! This penultimate post sees me at the Merseyside Maritime Museum. The basement containsContinue reading “Merseyside Maritime Museum”

Happy New Year everyone! May it be peaceful, creative, and bring joy!

Last week I saved a little box of 5 transparencies from the bin. They have no value apart from memory. I grew up in the 70’s and can remember if one ever visited a zoo, museum, cathedral or other such tourist attraction, there was always a visitors guide available, often printed by a company calledContinue reading “Walton – a trip down memory lane!”

I notice a number of the blogs I follow, have this year end been reviewing their favourite 3 cameras of 2022. I’ve only used one with any real gusto, and that is the Nikon F3. Certainly by volume I’ve shot more film with it than any other by a mile. I’ve given away a coupleContinue reading “A Year in Cameras”

It’s that time of year for a quick review and a look forward. I have made many more images this year on film. In fact about the only digital images I’ve made are photo’s of lenses and cameras to post here! If I discount those, then this year it must be about 98% film! AsContinue reading “10 Favourite of the year?”

Stille Nacht, heilige NachtAlles schläft; einsam wacht When I was around 11, I learned to sing “Silent Night” in German. Our class had to perform it, at the Christmas assembly before we broke for Christmas that year. I still remember the first verse even now, all these years later. I even think of it asContinue reading “Happy Christmas!”

Liverpool’s Metropolitan Cathedral, is the largest Catholic Cathedral in England. Because of the way I was walking around, I approached it from the rear! as per the image above. Walked around one side and went in. With me I had my Nikon F3, the 35mm f2 was on and a roll of Kodak Color PlusContinue reading “Liverpool’s Metropolitan Cathedral”

On my second day in the city of Liverpool, the sun was out! That was a welcome change from the first. To celebrate I loaded a roll of Kodak Color Plus, into the F3 and went for a wander. Having scanned this roll, I’m not going to claim that the “consumer” color plus, is aContinue reading “Around Liverpool”

My visit to the National Waterways Museum at Ellesmere Port, was on a dull and damp day. When it wasn’t raining I was outside making photo’s of the boats and locks. When the rain swept in, I went inside. There are several buildings containing industrial heritage. There is a working forge (above), boiler rooms, stablesContinue reading “More from Ellesmere Port”

I made a post about my visit to Chester Zoo and the black and white photo’s I made there, you can re-visit that post here! This time it’s the turn of the colour! I shot a roll of Fuji 400 too. On the whole I like the black and white better.
