I wrote a recent post about Lomo’s Potsdam film. I’ve also written about my visit to Mottisfont Abbey and the Heath Robinson exhibition. While I was there I wandered around the gardens and finished the roll off. Mottisfont is most famous for it’s rose garden, but that’s nothing to look at this time of year,Continue reading “Remainder of the Potsdam”

Modern Southampton
Last week I wrote a post about some of the historic buildings I photographed while I was in Southampton. Of course I also made some images of things that caught my eye, that were not historic. Most of the images in this post were taken at West Quay, a shopping mall opened in 2000. AboutContinue reading “Modern Southampton”
Trying Lomo Potsdam
Intro: I’m not one for trying odd film stocks that give weird results, I’m not knocking them, it’s just not for me. You know the sort of thing, out of date film that gives purple photo’s or “red scale” which I understand is just film loaded into the cassette the wrong way around so youContinue reading “Trying Lomo Potsdam”
Historic Southampton
After taking the ferry from Hythe, across Southampton Water to the city, I disembarked at the “town quay”. At the land end of the pier stands the impressive Edwardian “Harbour Board Building”. Once housing the board responsible from running the harbour, toady it is grade 2 listed, but used as a casino! Just as aContinue reading “Historic Southampton”
Hythe, it’s pier and railway
Last week I was on vacation from work. I didn’t go far, in fact I stayed in a holiday home about a half hour drive up the road! It meant that it was easy to get away, without fuss. I didn’t need to plan much. At the same time it was a change of sceneContinue reading “Hythe, it’s pier and railway”
Phoenix: My First Results
I recently did my usual walk around Poole in Dorset, and took with me my Leica M4-P with the 35mm Zeiss Biogon. It’s a combination of camera that I am increasingly liking and is becoming a “go-to” for me. This time I loaded in my first roll of Harman’s Phoenix 200 speed colour film. TheseContinue reading “Phoenix: My First Results”
Bournemouth Break
A couple of weekends ago I had a weekend away with my brother and sister in law. They had rented a rather nice apartment, overlooking Bournemouth bay. It was more of a catch up with each other, type of break rather than a “lets go out and about”, but there was time to make aContinue reading “Bournemouth Break”
Tri-X @ Moors Valley
Last weekend I had a couple of days away, I took my “new to me” Leica M4-P loaded with a roll of Kodak’s Tri-X. I didn’t finish the roll, so rather than just snap away, I waited until my next day out to finish the roll on images I wanted to make. Thursday was my dayContinue reading “Tri-X @ Moors Valley”
Leica M4-P
Just before Christmas I brought myself a new to me camera. A Leica M4-P Body. Why I hear you ask? I’m going to confess to having a bit of a hang-up when it comes to cameras. Redundancy is the word. I tend to go places to photograph them, and especially if it’s a distance, IContinue reading “Leica M4-P”
Poole Harbour on Delta 400
Last Sunday was a lovely day here in Dorset (UK), and after so many days of rain and dull weather I made a point of going out for a walk for an hour, mainly just to get a bit of exercise and fresh air. Of course I took a camera with me, if I hadn’t,Continue reading “Poole Harbour on Delta 400”
