Spyway: a coastal walk
A few days ago the sun came out! Only for one day, but it came out! Obviously an event not to be missed. Even better it coincided with my day off – so I grabbed (one of) my camera bags, jumped into the car and headed for the sea. Joking apart it has been a…
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,…
Silbury Hill and Beyond
Silbury Hill (above) is the largest man made mound in Europe. It’s Neolithic and sits on the Wiltshire landscape. It dates from around 2700BC, and it is estimated that it may have taken 700 men 10 years to construct. Moving about 248,000 cubic metres of chalk and infill. When we think of the population of…
A Visit to Romsey
I’ve been to the Hampshire town of Romsey many times. The Plaza Theatre there became a bingo hall, like most, but then in 1984 bucked the trend and became a theatre again. Romsey Amateur Operatic and Dramatic Society (RAODS), now stage a dozen or so productions each year, but also hire the venue out for…
Shooting HP5
Not that we as photographers need to put ourselves into groups or categories, but I think we naturally tend toward certain behaviours. At one end there is the “pro” who is all about the picture. The other end is the camera/equipment collector who rarely actually uses a film, but likes to collect and certainly talk…
Remainder of the Potsdam
I wrote a recent post about Lomo’s Potsdam film. I’ve also written about my visit to Mottisfont Abbey and the Heath Robinson exhibition. While I was there I wandered around the gardens and finished the roll off. Mottisfont is most famous for it’s rose garden, but that’s nothing to look at this time of year,…
Modern Southampton
Last week I wrote a post about some of the historic buildings I photographed while I was in Southampton. Of course I also made some images of things that caught my eye, that were not historic. Most of the images in this post were taken at West Quay, a shopping mall opened in 2000. About…
Trying Lomo Potsdam
Intro: I’m not one for trying odd film stocks that give weird results, I’m not knocking them, it’s just not for me. You know the sort of thing, out of date film that gives purple photo’s or “red scale” which I understand is just film loaded into the cassette the wrong way around so you…
