I’ve just treated myself to a present! I got results that I really liked from Ilford Delta 100 developed in FX55. I’m coming to the end of my long roll of FP4 movie film, as I write this, I have 7 rolls left, so I thought I’d use Delta for a bit. If I’m honest,Continue reading “Ilford Delta 100”

A few more from the fair
Post before last I shared some photo’s made with my Nikon F3 at the Dorset Spring Fair – here are a few more that I like. The lens of choice was slightly un-usual for me, the Nikkor 35-105mm. The film of choice my usual go-to Ilford FP4+.
Dorset Spring Fair
Back during the first May bank holiday I went to the Dorset Spring Fair. I’d not been to this event before, so wasn’t sure what to expect. In the event there was a bit of everything. There was a food tent with mostly Dorset food. There was a craft tent, some food stalls, a carContinue reading “Dorset Spring Fair”
Canonete (1961)
On paper the Canonete should be a wonderful camera. The main attraction of course is a 45mm f1.9 lens. The sleek top plate, a nice viewfinder, and a selenium cell meter around the lens that therefore compensated for filter factor exposure as it too would be looking through the filter – all good stuff. InContinue reading “Canonete (1961)”
Olympus OM1n (1979)
My old Olympus OM1n is battered. I’ve had it for over 30 years. In that time it’s been used, thrown in the bottom of a film making bag, it’s been bumped around in most types of transport including small planes, helicopters without doors on, trains, and coaches. It’s been up mountains, below sea level, inContinue reading “Olympus OM1n (1979)”
Christchurch Priory on Delta
Last week I attended a lovely wedding in Christchurch Priory. Once upon a time I did wedding photography, as I watched the “pro” whizzing about I thought how nice it was to just sit and be involved with the service for a change! These days it seems the thing for wedding photographers to wear blackContinue reading “Christchurch Priory on Delta”
Single Photo (nearly!): Banksy
Banksy may or may not be Robin Gunningham, the latter was a student of Bristol Cathedral School, approximately 110 meters away from this “Banksy” “You Don’t Need Planning Permission to Build Castles in the Sky” (above). Just the other side of the river (600 meters away) is Banksy’s “The Girl With Pearl Earring” or IContinue reading “Single Photo (nearly!): Banksy”
Longham Lakes
While I had my first roll of Kodak Pro Image 100 in my trusty Nikon F3 I took a walk to another local spot that I’ve neglected to visit, even though it’s within walking distance of home – Longham Lakes. This was once fields noted for brown hares. In 1994 planning permission was sought andContinue reading “Longham Lakes”
Guildford Cathedral on XP2
From the outside there’s something 1950’s power station about Guildford Cathedral. If it looks a tad familiar, it’s known as “The Omen church” for it was outside the front door that Gregory Peck and Lee Remick had a spot of bother with their errant son! More recently the nave was used in Netflix “The Sandman”Continue reading “Guildford Cathedral on XP2”
Kodak Pro Image 100: One Roll Try
What is a “Sang”? What is Kodak Pro Image 100 like? I visit one to find out! Having never tried this film I purchased a roll a while back, it sat in my “film to use” box and finally I’ve gotten around to using it! Apparently it’s been manufactured by Kodak since 1997 (Analogue Wonderland),Continue reading “Kodak Pro Image 100: One Roll Try”
