I took only one roll of colour film with me on my trip to the Isle of Wight, a Kodak Gold 200. These are the last few images from that roll that are worth sharing, and fall into the category of “Out of Season”. All were taken with the trusty Canon EOS30 paired with Canon’sContinue reading “Colour at the beach”

Newport – Isle of Wight
If there is a capital or centre on the Ilse of Wight then it’s Newport. Most things radiate out from there, and if you are driving on the Island you’ll go through it many times whether you want to or not! On this occasion I’d just visited Carisbrooke Castle, was going through and pulled inContinue reading “Newport – Isle of Wight”
Foma 200 in the XA2
I’ve been carrying the little Olympus XA2 with me here and there recently, loaded with a roll of bulk loaded Foma 200. This film I like to develop in Rodinal (Adonal) 1+100 for an hour, EMA, at 20 c. I find this combination keeps the grain low, contrast as I like it and, in fact,Continue reading “Foma 200 in the XA2”
Hovercraft in Colour!
Do you remember those days when you could buy a “grab bag” of film from the local supermarket? I remember Fuji packs at Tesco (my US friends please just think Walmart!) 5 rolls for £15, £3 a roll!! About the same time motor drives were merging into the camera bodies, no longer a “battery boxContinue reading “Hovercraft in Colour!”
Piddle, Puddle or Trent #3
Piddlehinton is a small village in Dorset, in the 2011 census it had a population of 403. Amazingly for such a small place, they have two “adult” football teams, both in the Dorset league! The Church of St Mary the Virgin is the only public building of interest. There is a pub, “The Thimble Inn”Continue reading “Piddle, Puddle or Trent #3”
Single Photo: Appley Tower
Appley Tower stands on the eastern end of Ryde Esplanade, on the Isle of Wight. This area is known as Appley (there is Appley… Tower / Farm / Lodge / Walk / Park etc), all of which were once on the Estate of Appley House, now long demolished. It was once the home of theContinue reading “Single Photo: Appley Tower”
St. Helens
There is quite a nice long beach at St Helens on the Isle of Wight. It’s not an especially popular area with tourists, especially before Easter. There are however a few interesting things to photograph there. There is a row of “Beach Huts” – all rather tatty and about to be removed, in fact byContinue reading “St. Helens”
Bembridge Windmill
What’s worse than a ram in your photo? Answer half a ram! I visited Bembridge Windmill on the Isle of Wight – it’s a National Trust property and like all the others on the Island at the time, it wasn’t open. None of them open until a week after Easter, and I knew that wasContinue reading “Bembridge Windmill”
Piddle, Puddle or Trent #2
The next village on my day trip “down the piddle” is Piddletrenthide. The cottage above is yards away from the river. This is Church Lane, which unsurprisingly leads to the church. In this case All Saints Church. It’s position is slightly un-usual in that it is in the very north end of the elongated village,Continue reading “Piddle, Puddle or Trent #2”
Piddle, Puddle or Trent? #1
A couple of years ago I used a roll of Kodak Ektachrome as I had a “photo day out” and traced the course of the River Winterborne, here in Dorset. The idea stuck and last year I traced the “Tarrants” (the small villages along the River Tarrant. Both of those you can catch up on,Continue reading “Piddle, Puddle or Trent? #1”
