Years ago I dumped my film squeegee. I always thought it was a stupid idea to pull one’s wet, soft and easily damaged emulsion through a rubber wiper. It’s just asking for trouble! Then one day the inevitable happened and I threw it in the bin in disgust. Years later of course I could scanContinue reading “To Squeegee or not to squeegee!”

Armistice Day
Several years ago I visited Bodiam Castle in Kent. I arrived by steam train! One of the exhibits at the Bodiam Station was the “Cavell Van” (above). It’s a luggage van which had carried the body of Edith Cavell, a nurse executed in 1915 for helping Allied service personnel escape occupied Belgium. What I didn’tContinue reading “Armistice Day”
Colour at the Fair
I had a roll of Fuji C200 in the EOS, and what better place to get a few colour shots than at the fair – Chatter: Canon EOS 30 with 40mm STM lens, “New” Fuji C200. Lab developed, home scanned (along with the dust) 🙂
Onto Dawlish Warren
Having walked the entire length of the seafront in Dawlish on a glorious sunny October day, I continued on, passing behind Langstone Rock. The Langstone rock field (above) is just the other side of the rock. A haven for sea life that likes tidal rock pools. It is here that the sea wall and theContinue reading “Onto Dawlish Warren”
Dawlish: Sea Wall
Once I’d finished my quick walk around the town of Dawlish, I walked along the sea wall. It’s recently been completely re-built due to storm damage, and very impressive it is! The photo above is taken from the narrow old pier that juts out into the sea (below). From the same spot you can makeContinue reading “Dawlish: Sea Wall”
Stand: Rodinal
I was gifted a roll of Fomapan 100. No box, so no idea what the expiry date was or indeed even if it was a viable film, for all I knew someone may have exposed it all and wound it back into the cassette! I quite often go to Poole for a walk, so decidedContinue reading “Stand: Rodinal”
Dawlish
I still have another post to make about my visit to Exeter, but to have a little break I’m moving forward a day! I walked back to the same railway station as the day before, but took the train in the opposite direction. Down the estuary away from Exeter and along the coast to Dawlish.Continue reading “Dawlish”
Exeter: Walls
Having done a river walk, I moved to walking the walls of Exeter, or as much as I could. There are a few info boards here and there that tell the history and point the visitor in the right direction. For the purposes of a photo blog however, the plaque above perhaps says enough! BelowContinue reading “Exeter: Walls”
Exeter: River Walk
I was staying a short walk from the village of Starcross, on the river Exe. This has a train stop on the rail route that runs from Exeter, down along the side of the Exe Estuary, sometimes right on the very edge – more to come on that! Above the Class 166 DMU no 207Continue reading “Exeter: River Walk”
An old new church on sea
The photo above was taken on the sea wall of Teignmouth as I walked back to the car park. A fairly typical sea side view, but from the same spot turning 180 degrees, I made the photo below. By my calculations St Michaels in Teignmouth is about 30 meters from the sea! I looked upContinue reading “An old new church on sea”
