As is often the case, especially in English sea side towns, one blends into the next without any gap. So it is with Bognor Regis. One can walk along the seafront and wander into Felpham to it’s east, without even noticing. I did just that on a nice sunny morning back in September. Two wellContinue reading “A Walk along Felpham Beach”

Random Brighton
Other than “Brighton” this post has no theme as such, really just a collection of random images I made while wandering around the town. The photo above I quite like, with the sea gull posing, a cyclist, the old derelict pier in the background. Below are a few more! Chatter: For this series of postsContinue reading “Random Brighton”
Brighton old pier
Brighton has had three piers in it’s time. There was the Royal Suspension Chain Pier, opened in 1823, but destroyed in a storm in 1896. It’s replacement was the Brighton Palace Pier, which opened a couple of years later in 1899. That of course is still going strong! Between those two in time there wasContinue reading “Brighton old pier”
Brighton Pavilion
I’ve been to Brighton a couple of times before and made a few photo’s of the pavilion there. My main challenge to myself this time was to make a few interesting images that hopefully capture the place, but not take the same view that everyone always does! Beyond that – it’s a simple photo dumpContinue reading “Brighton Pavilion”
Chichester Cathedral
Construction on Chichester Cathedral began in 1075, with the Norman’s moving Bishops into more populated areas. With this post I’ve learned that a “Bishopric” is an older term for what we would now call a Diocese, and that a “see” in the same context, is from the Latin “the seat” (of the Bishop). You learnContinue reading “Chichester Cathedral”
Brighton Pier
While away I went to Brighton, and of course ended up on the pier! This is just a selection of photo’s of things that caught my eye whilst wandering! Chatter: For this series of posts I used the Canon EOS 30 with the Canon STM 40mm lens. I use this combo a lot! The filmContinue reading “Brighton Pier”
Chichester #2
Chichester has intact Roman walls, to the point where it’s possible to walk on the top of them. Perhaps not a complete as Chester, but still pretty good. The photo above shows the bit I walked on, further along a suitable gap has been left in to enable a view of St Pancreas Church, thisContinue reading “Chichester #2”
Chichester
Chichester is the only city in West Sussex, and has a population of about 30,000. I visited on a sunny day at the end of September. At it’s centre stands the Market Cross, from it radiate a cross of North, South, East and West Streets. I suspect these trace back to a Roman layout, althoughContinue reading “Chichester”
Film Scanning: No one solution!
99% of the images that I share are via this blog digitally. I have a Fuji X-T5 (lucky me!), which I use too little, so why shoot film, if I am essentially using digital images? Good question! The answer is simply, I like film. I like and prefer the experience of handling, shooting and developingContinue reading “Film Scanning: No one solution!”
Bognor Regis Seafront
There is a famous quote attributed to George V about Bognor, despite this I had a four night break there at the end of September. The weather was stunning, blue sky, sunshine but thankfully without that intense heat, perfect weather for wandering about looking at stuff and making photo’s. My hotel room was at oneContinue reading “Bognor Regis Seafront”
