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 Below is from my recently failed out-of-date roll of Kodak Colour Plus that reminds me of a quote I remember but can’t remember who said it or where I read it!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”
Brewery Square
Towards the southern side of Dorchester is Brewery Square. It’s a modern development, but built on and in the disused industrial remains of a brewery of Eldridge Pope. They have their own page here for the history, just scroll about halfway down! A hospital drop off and collection meant I had an afternoon to wanderContinue reading “Brewery Square”
The Wonder of film
Single photo: In Exmouth Harbour. Don’t get excited this is one of those “single photo” posts that I (and others) do every now and again. I was flipping through the scans of my last roll of Devon images and the one above caught my eye. I rather like it. We analogue fans, although I shouldn’tContinue reading “The Wonder of film”
More Colour from Dawlish
For those of you who have not read my previous posts relating to my recent Devon trip. I took my Canon EOS30, with the 40mm STM lens attached for a walk around Dawlish Warren, down in sunny Devon (UK). I had the film (Fuji C200) lab developed but scanned the negs on my Epson V600Continue reading “More Colour from Dawlish”
