Once a week, I go to the local garden centre on my day off, for breakfast with family. Way back in September the summer BBQ section was cleared, as it is every year, and Christmas started to arrive. I like Christmas – but not in September! I had 5 exposures to use up on theContinue reading “…it’s coming!”

35mm: North Bank
It’s been a few years since I walked along the north bank of the Thames in central London. Apart from “the embankment”, it used to be quite fragmented and the stretch from Blackfriars bridge to, give or take, Tower Bridge, involved quite a bit of street walking away from the river. Now that stretch hasContinue reading “35mm: North Bank”
Tate Modern
I always enjoy wandering around Tate Modern, rarely do I made any images of the art, rather the building and people in it. The art also spurs me on – I think “I really must do….” although it never happens! This visit coincided with an installation of film projection. A bit of a rarity theseContinue reading “Tate Modern”
Autumn at Kingston Lacy
A few posts back, I shared some images I made on my OM1n with a roll of Kodak Gold 200. That same afternoon, while the weather was still good, I popped along to our local National trust House, to finish off the roll, and capture some of that beautiful autumn colour. Chatter: Olympus OM1n withContinue reading “Autumn at Kingston Lacy”
A New Colour Film!
Today brings both good and bad news! The good first. At 4pm today (UK) time, Harman lifted the embargo on their new film – and it’s colour!! Harman Phoenix 200 is a colour C41 film, but unlike most it has no orange mask layer. But there is further news… I’ll cut and paste the officialContinue reading “A New Colour Film!”
London South Bank (again)
I guess a lot of visitors first impressions of London’s South Bank start with their arrival at Waterloo Station. It’s a place of both my present and my past. Many trains come and go from this station of course, one of them travels up and down to Dorset, my home county, several times a day.Continue reading “London South Bank (again)”
Dorchester Heritage Day:2
The Keep is perhaps the most distinctive building in Dorchester. It is a military museum. I’m not much into military things, but I’ve always been intrigued to see what was inside the building. The heritage day, is a good excuse to have a look as it’s free entry for the day! I took the NikonContinue reading “Dorchester Heritage Day:2”
Konica VX 200
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”
