Pic-a-day #2
A stone with grass, stands in the River Lyd, a couple of miles up-stream from the town of Lydford. Behind Great Links Tor.
Pic-a-day #1
Widgery Cross, was built by William Widgery to commemorate the Golden Jubilee of Queen Victoria in 1887. It stands on Brat/Widgery/Bray Tor, not far from the town of Lydford. Quite a climb to the top, that required me to stop more than once! Pan-F is go!
A Brick on a Trip!
I’ve had a bit of hiatus recently! Work has been busy, and I’ve been getting ready to do a trip. I’m now on the trip and as I sit writing this I’m in a converted barn in the heart of the Devon countryside! As always one of the first considerations on any trip is what…
King of Bokeh?
While I was in Romsey, I visited a charity (thrift) shop. There was a good selection of photographic stuff. A rather nice collection of Canon gear, a Pentax ME super, and so on. I’m happy with what I have in those departments, but I did come across one of the old Zenith (Helios) lenses. My…
FP4 as HP5
While I was on my mini-break I raided my film stash for 400 speed film. I felt sure I’d need it, and I was correct! I ran very low, but in the end I returned home with half a dozen exposures left on the last roll. It seems to be a “thing” these days of…

35mm: Takumar Trek Pt13
I’m nearing the end of this set of walks along the Castleman Trail here in Dorset (UK). This is the penultimate post, you may be pleased to hear! This one starts exactly where the last one finished, so turning my back on the sports centre and looking south the trail continues, well marked, right though…
Winchester Mill on XP2
Ok, so the first photo obviously isn’t a mill! It’s King Alfred standing looking down on and up along the “Broadway”. It was decided in 1899 that a statue would be built to commemorate 1000 years since the death of Alfred. It was finished in 1901, and has been there ever since. He ruled from…
35mm: Takumar Trek Pt12
Last October saw me walking the last part of this trek, and you can re-cap that here if you wish! Since then, we’ve had winter and the weather has been dull damp and wet. Parts of this track can be quite muddy and not much fun to walk, so I haven’t attempted more. Just recently,…
