Bridport and Symondsbury on Agfa APX 100

I’m off work for a few days, so I’ve decided to actually use up some of the many different film stocks I’ve brought in the last few months/years to try, and to use as many of my film cameras at least once each, as I can! First is Agfa APX 100. Bridport is a smallContinue reading “Bridport and Symondsbury on Agfa APX 100”

California 1990

New decade new direction, and so it was in 1990 that I set foot in the USA for the first time! I flew from London to Minneapolis–Saint Paul International Airport, got off the plane, bundled into a mini bus with British folk singer Roger Whittaker, “Oh Hello” says me somewhat dazed. “Hello! Nice to meetContinue reading “California 1990”

Some Black and White

As I write this, it’s a wet dull afternoon, so I’ve just gone through a hard drive with some scans of black and white images taken over the last couple of years. I thought I’d share a few with you. Your comments are welcome! (Good or bad!!)

Canon EOS 30 (not D)

It is surprising that I haven’t written about the Canon EOS 30 before, mainly as it is almost certainly the film camera that I use most often. Same goes for the 40mm pictured on it. The camera was released by Canon in 2000, so was towards the end of the film EOS line. It wasContinue reading “Canon EOS 30 (not D)”

Photo Processing in the mid 80’s

Do you process film? Now that’s a question I’m asked quite a bit – and there is a long and a short answer… short answer, yes. Longer answer…. As I’ve mentioned before I started processing my own black and white film about aged 10, you can read all about that here: First Attempts. I didContinue reading “Photo Processing in the mid 80’s”

The Grand Tour 1989 (Pt2)

The farthest southern point of my Grand Tour was Sorrento, but not really for the town itself – more to see the island just off the coast – Capri. Probably most famous for being home to Gracie Fields. I took a boat trip over from Sorrento. The limestone crags that project above the sea (TheContinue reading “The Grand Tour 1989 (Pt2)”

JB Ensign

I’ve never owned or used a box camera before. To be honest I wouldn’t now unless I had gotten it free with another camera that I did want at the time, and this one sat at the bottom of a box. One of the great things I am finding about blogging is that it doesContinue reading “JB Ensign”

The Grand Tour 1989

Another in my “Time Travel” series… The Grand Tour has been a popular thing in history since the 1700’s, so who am I to argue! In the Autumn of 1989, I booked a coach trip and set out to expand my horizons around Europe. It seems impossible to me now, that it was 33 yearsContinue reading “The Grand Tour 1989”

Fuji GE

I can find very little information online about the GE from Fuji. It seems to date back to the early 70’s, 72 maybe? It is typical of it’s type, we’ve all had/have something similar in our arsenal. I’m thinking of the ever popular Ricoh 500, Olympus Trip 35, or the Cosina 35e. They are allContinue reading “Fuji GE”

Return to Belgium 1989

Within a week of returning from my first visit to Belgium, I was talking to a film-making friend Anne, about my trip and how much I had enjoyed it, expressing I would go again as quickly as possible! “How about next weekend?” said Anne. We were both big fans of Imax/Omnimax, Anne had a longContinue reading “Return to Belgium 1989”
