I haven’t been enthused about trying any new cameras recently, in fact I’ve been more in the mind of using what I know and really getting to know it better. A few weeks ago however I was gifted a Fujica Compact 35, and that broke the mould and made me want to try it out.Continue reading “Fujica Compact 35”

Weymouth #5 (Final)
In this last post of my walk along the entire length of Weymouth seafront, I reach the harbour, but before that, what were once old brightly coloured beach huts, have now been replaced by swish new wood coloured kisoks, aiming to look like up-turned boats. I’m not sure if I miss the old colourful hutsContinue reading “Weymouth #5 (Final)”
Weymouth #4 (George III)
About half way along the main part of Weymouth’s sea-front stands the “Jubilee Clock”. It’s a landmark that commemorates Queen Victoria’s 50 years of reign in 1887. Before that however Weymouth was put on the map and made popular by King George III. Yes, the one famous for being mad! As a treatment for hisContinue reading “Weymouth #4 (George III)”
Single Shot… Yellow Rope
Made whilst out on a photo walk around Poole. I’ve photographed this more than once before! Below is from my recently failed out-of-date roll of Kodak Colour Plus that reminds me of a quote I remember but can’t remember who said it or where I read it! “Digital was the coming of age of colourContinue reading “Single Shot… Yellow Rope”
Weymouth #3
Nothing like an empty sea-side shelter on a winter day! I used to sit in this very shelter as a kid and eat my sandwich, apple and packet of crisps (potato chips!). Opposite it stands the Hotel Prince Regent. Maybe “the” hotel in Weymouth although a couple others may disagree, it’s location is hard toContinue reading “Weymouth #3”
Weymouth #2
Continuing on directly from my previous post as I walked along Weymouth sea front, I paused to make a couple of images of the “beach huts”. While these are not exclusively a British phenomenon, they are very typical, and out of season, a certain have a certain feel. In Weymouth they come in many shapesContinue reading “Weymouth #2”
Weymouth #1
Another run to the hospital, left me with 5 hours to fill so I drove 8 miles south to my hometown of Weymouth. I moved away over a decade ago, but spent over 40 years there, and so have many memories of almost every nook and cranny! I have some great memories but these daysContinue reading “Weymouth #1”
Pan-F at Dawlish
The day I had a walk around Dawlish Warren turned out to be a bright sunny day, even though it was mid-October. Bright enough that I decided I could use up my last roll of Pan-F from my film stash. There is talk with this film that the latent image degrades quite quickly once exposed,Continue reading “Pan-F at Dawlish”
Short Photo Walk
When I have a little spare time I try to get out and have a short walk. If it is somewhere different then so much the better, even if its not, I take the camera with me. These are a few snaps made on such an outing – no theme, just what caught my eye!Continue reading “Short Photo Walk”
When colour is too old
I had an old roll of Colorplus 200, expired in 2002. I’ve used this sort of age film before, and always allow an extra stop for age. Many people suggest that 1 stop per decade is a good idea. My experience is that while 1 stop is good, going to 2 or more just addsContinue reading “When colour is too old”
