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”
St Peter’s Dorchester
Way back in September, Dorchester had a town heritage day. This meant that many of the towns museums, and tourist attractions were open to the public for free. I went as I’d fancied visiting the “Shire Hall“. The battery failed in my Nikon F3 and you can read about that here. Most un-like me IContinue reading “St Peter’s Dorchester”
Palm House, Kew
I shot two rolls of Kodak Gold on my visit to Kew Gardens, I could have easily used more! Towards the end of the day as the sun was staring to dip, I used the last exposure and rewound. Then as I started to walk back towards the entrance, out came the sun, the skyContinue reading “Palm House, Kew”
Out Back
If I depart from the kitchen door, proceed up the garden path, exit the property through the back gate, I end up standing on a playing field. Three or four games of football run simultaneously on a Sunday morning. Sometimes they are there when I wake up and look out the bedroom window! Behind that,Continue reading “Out Back”
Tri-X Over Christmas
Late last year I tried my first, or to be more accurate, what I think was my first roll of Kodak’s Tri-X, otherwise known as TX 400. You can read about that here. I actually purchased three rolls at the time, so I thought I’d pop one in my Leica over Christmas, just to makeContinue reading “Tri-X Over Christmas”

I’m coming towards the end of my stash of London images, you may be pleased to know! I have a few that I think work in their own right, that have no link they are just random images. As someone who used to make films once upon a time, that is one of the refreshingContinue reading “No Category”
Shad Thames
Shad Thames is the area just around the corner from the Tower Bridge in London. It’s an area which I’ve seen photo’s of before and wanted to visit for a while but never really had the excuse to go. This visit to London provided the opportunity. The area was once run down, I remember stickingContinue reading “Shad Thames”
