Once upon a time when Agfa Vista was £1 a roll in Poundland, (in fact when anything was still £1 in Poundland – but don’t get me started on that!) and before the Pentax ME Super was serviced, I made a visit to the Swanage Steam Railway. Back then I was also into the ideaContinue reading “Swanage Railway Wide!”

India: Memory Lane with FP4
Way back in 1999 I took a trip to India. I exposed much film while I was there but only 3 rolls of black and white – looking back I wish I’d made more b/w images, but that said, India is, if anything – colourful! I wasn’t due to go to there, it was allContinue reading “India: Memory Lane with FP4”
Exercising the Spotmatic
A couple of weeks ago, just before Christmas, I needed to pop into the local town of Ringwood. It’s the opposite direction to my usual route, so although it’s close by I don’t go there that often. I thought I’d take the good old Pentax Spotmatic for a day out and make a few exposuresContinue reading “Exercising the Spotmatic”
Leica goes to Mudeford
Mudeford (pronounced Muddyford), is in the far east of Dorset, less than 2 km from the end of the sea wall is the Hampshire border. The quayside is at the entrance to Christchurch Harbour – I’ve visited the “other side” many times, you can read the post where I messed up a roll in theContinue reading “Leica goes to Mudeford”
More from the Fuji
Just before Christmas the building in the middle distance burned to the ground. The one with the charred beams leaning out over the street was the the Gorge Café on Dorchester’s South Street. It was a land mark for many, some as a café – I can remember going in as kid, when we visitedContinue reading “More from the Fuji”
Fujica Compact 35
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of Weymouth seafront, I reach the harbour, but before that, what were once old brightly coloured beach huts, have now been replaced by swish new wood coloured kisoks, aiming to look like up-turned boats.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”
