Museum Steps

I dived into the Museum of Liverpool, like a drenched river rat into his hole! Just inside the door are a few chairs, I took one, and proceeded to dry off as best I could with two tissues. I loaded a fresh roll of Ilford Delta 400 into my Nikon F3 with the 35mm lensContinue reading “Museum Steps”

Still Life in a hurry!

I make a point of avoiding advertising where I can. You know the sort of thing.. the 10 extra bits of paper stuffed into the TV guide, trying to sell me plug plants for the garden or a raincoat, or my favourite, the chair that tips people out! I avoid the A boards in streetsContinue reading “Still Life in a hurry!”

More of Liverpool Cathedral

There are surprises in Liverpool Cathedral. Above is the altar, a rather strait documentary shot – here is “The Altar at Liverpool Cathedral, September 2022”, but looping behind I found interesting things! The Chapter house was smaller and plainer than I’d imagined, but at the same time had a cosiness to it that I thoughtContinue reading “More of Liverpool Cathedral”

Return to Ness

Last week I wrote about my visit to Ness Botanical Gardens here. I took my Pentax ME Super with most of a roll of Kodak Colour Plus in it. I used it up and needed more! As it was just a couple of miles from where I was staying on holiday, I made a secondContinue reading “Return to Ness”

Liverpool Cathedral

Continuing on directly from my last post, by the time I left the waterfront it was starting to spot with rain. By the time I hurriedly arrived at the cathedral it was raining hard. Luckily I have a good coat – stupidly I decided to leave it in the car, parked the other side ofContinue reading “Liverpool Cathedral”

Liverpool Waterfront Pt2

A short while back I wrote about the waterfront in Liverpool, and showed some photo’s of the “three graces”. This post continues where that left off. Above is the Museum of Liverpool. Just across from here is Graving Docks, part of the waterfront and there sits the RMS Lusitania Propeller, below. On the same pierContinue reading “Liverpool Waterfront Pt2”

Ness Botanic Gardens

Just a ten minute drive from where I was staying on holiday, was the Ness Botanic Gardens. It was a little late in the year to visit really, but that said there turned out to be plenty of autumn colour left to see. I fancied a light day, so all I took with me wasContinue reading “Ness Botanic Gardens”

Liverpool Waterfront Colour Splash

As a bit of a break from my black and white exploits at Speke Hall, I thought today I’d share a handful of colour images taken on the Liverpool Waterfront. I had a roll of Kodak Colour plus in my Pentax ME Super. All of these photo’s were made with the 50mm SMC. Above andContinue reading “Liverpool Waterfront Colour Splash”

More at Speke

Last post I wrote about how I enjoyed my visit to Speke Hall, a National Trust property on the outskirts of Liverpool. These few images are from my second roll, this time one of my Ilford FP4 (20 year old movie stock). I also shot a roll of Ilford Delta 400, in the very darkContinue reading “More at Speke”

Speke Hall

My visit to Speke Hall was full of surprises. First of all to get there I ended up driving over the Mersey Gateway Bridge, opened in 2017. It’s £4 each way to cross and carries the A533 towards Liverpool. Had there have been a place to stop I would have made a couple of photo’s,Continue reading “Speke Hall”
