I’ve (re) Joined the Library!
The last time went in a library must have been 16 or 17 years ago. I like the idea of libraries, fully support their “mission”, but it’s not really on my radar. A couple of nights ago I had a look at one or two of my photo books, having thoroughly enjoyed that, inevitably I…
Olympus OM-4 (1983)
The Olympus OM4 is claimed to be the successor to the much loved OM2n, that I feel needs a little explanation as of course there is an OM3! The OM 4 was manufactured between 1983 and 1987, while the OM3 1983-86. The ‘4 is considered the successor as it’s an “auto” camera and offers a…
A Cold Walk
The last day of 2025 was cold and icy, but with a clear sky, so I decided I would move myself, and get out for a walk. I went to the Avon Valley Country Park. It’s nearby, and easy. It’s quite a wet, heathland area, and as I pulled into the car park, I entered…
Happy New Year Everyone!
Happy New Year everyone! May this coming year be good to us all, may it bring peace, calm and joy and may we all make a bit of progress to loving our fellow humans, our planet and ourselves a bit more! It’s been a good year here on my little blog. Anything like this is…
Cameras used in 2025
I keep saying it, usually when I buy yet another camera, “I’m not a collector – I just like cameras”! I will use a film or two, enjoy learning a bit about them, and then write a post. I don’t like calling that a “test” – it’s not, it’s just me putting a roll of…
Merry Christmas!
To all my friends, acquaintances, and visitors to this blog. Wherever you are in the world, whatever your religion, race or creed, may I wish you a “Merry Christmas” or “Happy Holiday Season” (whichever is more appropriate!). I hope your New Year is filled with joy and peace.
12 Favourite Images posted in 2025
As we reach the end of the year, I guess it’s time for a little reflection as well as looking forward. In this post I’m going to choose a favourite photo from each month that has been posted on this blog. If I did this in a month’s time, no doubt it would be a…
HP5 in the folder
As I sit here typing this, it’s pouring with rain and it has been for hours. Grey, dull, dismal! My walk around West Moors Country Park with my folding Zeiss 6×6 in the sun under a blue sky seems an age away. This was a roll of HP5 which I developed in D23. Interestingly I…
Poole with the Nikon FE2
You may remember that I took my Nikon FE2 out a couple weeks ago and wrote about that here. I kept walking over the town bridge, and along the quay. Above is the view from the bridge, and below (left) part of it’s lifting mechanism. This was a roll of HP5 that I developed in…
Out & About with the Zeiss Folder
I mentioned a couple of posts back that I took the Zeiss Ikon 517/16 out for a walk! I loaded up a roll of HP5 and set off. I choose HP5 as the weather was a bit iffy – and indeed as I left the car there were a few drops of rain. In the…
