I recently went to Kingston Lacy, the local National trust house, to make a few photo’s of the autumn colour. I Finished off the roll of fresh Kodak Gold that I had in the camera. In some ways this is a “cart before the horse” post as I haven’t posted those yet! However, I thenContinue reading “Konica VX 200”

Canary Wharf
On the last day of my London break, I took the Jubilee Line out to Canary Wharf. I remember back in the late 80’s, taking the then, new, Docklands Light Railway through the site on my way to Greenwich. The railway it’s self was only a year or two old at the time, and IContinue reading “Canary Wharf”
Olympus OM1n
When we look at how quickly digital camera models cycle these days, and look back at “classic” film SLR’s, models that were manufactured for a decade or more seem incredible, but that’s how it was. The Olympus OM-1n was no exception and arrived on the scene in 1979. It was a “new” version of theContinue reading “Olympus OM1n”
Dorchester Heritage Day
Back in September, Dorchester had a “Heritage Day”. What this means for locals is that some of the “attractions” are open for free visits. One that interested me, and that I haven’t been in before was the Shire Hall. This building was the courthouse for Dorchester, and therefore, as Dorset is pretty rural, most ofContinue reading “Dorchester Heritage Day”
Darkroom: Testing Developers 2: The Results
You may remember a while back a wrote a post about my attempt to test some developers. If not you can re-cap here. That post gave my thoughts and reasons. I’ve now used 3 developers and here are the results so far. You will notice the full frame above has three dots, at the bottom.Continue reading “Darkroom: Testing Developers 2: The Results”
National Gallery
After having a moan about the British Museum, or more precisely about it being overcrowded the other day, I thought I’d move on to the National Gallery today! The image above was made on the far north east corner of Trafalgar Square, two guys were just water blast cleaning the plinth, and the spray wasContinue reading “National Gallery”
British Museum
Sometimes an experience is a frame of mind. How you feel on the day, what your expectations are, what mood you are in. The British Museum is one of my “go-to” places in London. I’ve been in 10’s of times. I find it a wonderful place. Full of art and “treasure” from civilizations past andContinue reading “British Museum”
Kodak: Tri-X
I recently shot a roll of Kodak Tri-X, to the best of my knowledge it’s the first roll I’ve used. I took a walk at the West Moors Country Park. It’s a good place for a walk especially if it’s been raining a bit, as the paths are all tarmacked. Just at the entrance toContinue reading “Kodak: Tri-X”
Kew’s Japanese Landscape
Heading away from the Temperate House featured in my first post about Kew Gardens, I headed for the “Japanese Landscape”. Above is the Chokushi-Mon – “Gateway of the Imperial Messenger” created for the Japan-British Exhibition held in London in 1910. It’s almost an exact copy of an original found in Kyoto, Japan. It leads toContinue reading “Kew’s Japanese Landscape”
35mm: North Bank
In my last but one post I shared some images I made whilst walking the south bank of the Thames. Same day, same roll of film. I crossed from the south bank to the north over Tower Bridge. The weather was very changeable. One minute I sheltered under a tree for cover from a shower,Continue reading “35mm: North Bank”
