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…
Nikon FE2 (1983)
The Nikon FE2 was manufactured between 1983 / 87, and as such is one of the newer SLR’s that I own. It’s contemporary to the FM2(n) which really has to be considered together alongside. To me it feels very much like a FM2, with a faster shutter! In fact the shutter speed on the FE2…
Winter Maintenance
You may have noticed that just recently posts around here have become a little less frequent. Nothing is amiss I’m pleased to report! I work in retail and the weeks leading up to Christmas are always manic as you can imagine! Of course the weather changes and my last couple of days off have been…
Single Photo: Mother and Child
There’s much wrong with this image. The mother needs to be better separated from the background on the right hand side. That could be improved with a better scan, and a little photoshop levels. It’s an old scan. It’s not pin sharp, again a better scan would help a bit. It’s slightly on a “wonk”…
Single Photo: Machu Picchu
The “Historic Sanctuary of Machu Picchu” as it now seems to be called, was lost to history until it was re-discovered by Hiram Bingham in 1911, then later by me in 2005 when I made this image! Although it’s the “standard photo” overlooking the site, it was noteworthy for me for a couple of reasons.…
Olympus TG-1 (2012)
I don’t share or write about digital much here. Ignoring the fact that of course every image here is digital when you see it! My main interest, I might even stretch to passion – is film or in 2020’s speak analogue. May I have a roll of analogue please? This post is a change, and…
