A new (old) camera has been donated to my retirement home for photographic stuff! It’s a Zeiss Ikon 517/16. I have little experience with folders, so was keen to try it out. My first surprise was how smooth it opened and closed – in the past cameras I have tried like this, have needed helpContinue reading “Zeiss 6X6 Folder”

Bournemouth Beach with the Va Pt2
A couple of weeks back I took my Rolleicord Va down to Bournemouth beach, and used up a roll of Ektar 100. It was a glorious day, and as well as the photography I enjoyed the fresh air and sunshine. I’ve already shared half the roll – so here is the other half. I haveContinue reading “Bournemouth Beach with the Va Pt2”
The Scanning Drama
I had a couple of days off work, a week or so back, so I had a day out at Montecute House in Somerset. Nice steak pasties!! Of course I took along one of my film cameras, this time loaded with a roll of Portra 160. A good day out was enjoyed! My film scannerContinue reading “The Scanning Drama”
The Kodak SUC Pt2!
Last week I shared some of the images taken with a Kodak Single Use Camera (SUC), that I’d had kicking around for a while. Having teased the film out, not a difficult task, as the film is wound back into the cassette as it’s used, so a job that really just involved prizing open eitherContinue reading “The Kodak SUC Pt2!”
Another day, another film!
The more films I try, the more I think I should just stick with Fp4 or Delta 100! I am however grateful that we have the choice of films that we do! This roll fell into my lap. In fact I helped someone sort out their camera, they asked me to dump the film. AContinue reading “Another day, another film!”
Ilford 3200
I’ve already posted the fact that by choice I lean towards slower fine grain films. Despite that, as a fan of Ilford Delta 100 and 400, it was only going to be a matter of time before I tried their 3200 offering. I made a recent visit to Dorchester Museum, now re-branded as the DorsetContinue reading “Ilford 3200”
Kodak SUC
About 4 years ago I won 2nd place in a small competition, the prize, a Kodak SUC (Single Use Camera). It’s spent time in the glove box of the car, it’s been bumped around in my work bag, and finally over the last month I’ve made the effort to finish it off. They contain anContinue reading “Kodak SUC”
A Visit to the Minster with the Va
Continuing on with a couple of rolls of film through my Rolleicord Va, this time I loaded up a roll of Ilford Delta 100. In this case a better choice would have been the 400. That aside, I stopped off at Wimborne and it’s Minster. It has along history being founded in 704 when Cuthburga,Continue reading “A Visit to the Minster with the Va”
Bournemouth Beach with the Va
Having used my “new to me” Nikon F3 for most of my photography for February, I fancied a change/more of a challenge for March. A change of pace with the Rollei Va. I shot a couple of rolls, the first being some colour on Kodak Ektar 100. These were taken on Sunday last, and theContinue reading “Bournemouth Beach with the Va”
Quick Visit to Sherborne
Sherborne is a small, sleepy town, just in Dorset. Another few miles north and you’d be in Somerset. It’s not a long way from home, but it’s a fiddly drive, not really on my route to anywhere, and frankly has nothing there that draws me in, so I tend not to visit too often. ItContinue reading “Quick Visit to Sherborne”
