Continuing on from my last post I ventured inside! There was nothing to say that one could, I just assumed! Like wise this lovely doorway (Left) I made the image, went up the stairs, door locked, not the way in! Another door, around the corner equally not marked was indeed the way in. Then aContinue reading “Inside Warwick Castle”

Warwick Castle
Well as mentioned in my last post, I’m back from a long week-end “up north”! People in the north would call it the midlands! In today’s post – Warwick Castle. I visited on the first day, on my way to the hotel. I made some photo’s on both Kodak Tri-X and HP5, with my CanonContinue reading “Warwick Castle”
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 aContinue reading “Olympus OM-4 (1983)”
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 enteredContinue reading “A Cold Walk”
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 inContinue reading “Poole with the Nikon FE2”
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 FE2Continue reading “Nikon FE2 (1983)”
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”Continue reading “Single Photo: Mother and Child”
Single Photo: Christchurch
The image above was made on my Olympus OM-1 with the 50mm lens. One of those shots where the light was dramatic and perfect and lasted for about 2 minutes! I was walking away from Christchurch, you can see the priory tower (Closer view here) near the bottom left. The light was shining in bothContinue reading “Single Photo: Christchurch”
Thoughts on: Bulk Film
I’ve been asked twice recently “What is bulk film?” I thought I would write a post. If you are newish to film photography I should start by offering a brief explanation: What is bulk Film? Most bulk film is black and white 35mm film. Exactly the same stuff that can be purchased in 24’s orContinue reading “Thoughts on: Bulk Film”
Four More from the Contessa
I finished off the roll of film in my Contessa with a walk around the neighbourhood. It was a nice day and I felt the need to get out and stretch my legs and move around a bit! The camera continued to perform well enough, and whilst I didn’t make and amazing images – IContinue reading “Four More from the Contessa”
