As I’ve mentioned before, I spent February with the Nikon F3. Our local national trust property is Kingston Lacy. It always has a great showing of snowdrops, and early spring flowers, so I headed there with the F3 with the 55mm Micro attached! The last time I visited Kingston Lacy I used a roll ofContinue reading “Nikon F3, Micro 55mm and flowers”

The Dorset Shepherd
I walk past this sculpture most days on my walk from the car to work. It is in Durngate street in Dorchester and celebrates the “quiet heroism and wisdom of pastoralists”. It is by the artist John Doubleday. He seems to face the rising sun, and has his trusty dog at his feet. I madeContinue reading “The Dorset Shepherd”
February with the F3
At the start of the year I decided that I would try to concentrate use on one of my cameras each month. I decided that my “new to me” Nikon F3 would be first. The plan got off to a bad start as I had a bad back for pretty much the whole of January,Continue reading “February with the F3”
The Ossuary at St Leonard’s Church
On one of my more bizarre days out with my Pentax ME Super was to Hythe, in Kent. The parish church of St Leonards has an “Ossuary”, no I didn’t know that that was either! Another name is “bone house”. There are many theories as to who and why these are in the crypt. TheContinue reading “The Ossuary at St Leonard’s Church”
Madeira 2019
In 2019 I made a trip to Madeira, it is an autonomous region of Portugal, one of two, the other being the Azores. This was my “digital period” – sort of. I still used film, but this was the lull of my usage and before I saw sense, and came back to it! On thisContinue reading “Madeira 2019”
Buses
When I go into Poole, my local town of size, and now my closest Santander Bank location, I have a set walk that I do. Down the main high street to the quayside, along to the end, which morphs into park, under a railway bridge, then back into Poole Park which is where I usuallyContinue reading “Buses”
Minehead with the Pentax ME Super
This post carries on almost seamlessly from the last, this though, has a little more of my childhood ramblings involved, so beware! I found myself staying in Butlins Holiday Park, Minehead, Somerset, for a 80’s music weekend, as one does. Rather like a Jekyll and Hyde figure, in the evenings I was making pictures ofContinue reading “Minehead with the Pentax ME Super”
A post from the Future
The date is 21st February 2042, somehow I’ve made it the age of 73! While sitting on the sofa I just popped in to the camera shop and picked up a couple of rolls of film. The VR goggles, are like me, getting a bit old but they still can do the job just about!Continue reading “A post from the Future”
British Seaside
I like the seaside, British resorts especially. Seagulls screeching, candy floss, brightly coloured plastic buckets and spades, and fish and chips – it’s a certain vibe that I’ve never come across anywhere else, quite the same. Into the later Autumn however they take on a deserted, slightly “void of life” feel that I find aContinue reading “British Seaside”
Random Acts….
….. of crochet kindness! I made a short detour to post a letter a couple days ago, something that is becoming an event these days. There has been another attack of crochet! You may remember a similar one at Christmas, I mentioned it here. I have to say I haven’t got a clue how toContinue reading “Random Acts….”
