We last left the Castleman Trail, as it was crossed by Holmsley Passage, and a building that I suspected was once maybe a railway crossing house? It was also the location of the first little fragment of actual track seen so far. The image above is a typical view of the New Forest – myContinue reading “35mm: Takumar Trek Pt4”

Cars at Pilford
Pilford Heritage Show isn’t really a car show – it’s many things, but there are always a few interesting cars to make a few photo’s of. I’ve done a couple of quite “wordy” posts recently – so this, for a change, is going to be just a selection of images! Chatter: Ilford Delta 400, inContinue reading “Cars at Pilford”
The Tarrants: Pt3
Tarrant Monkton is the next of the Tarrant Villages, that follow the course of the little River Tarrant. I skirted the edge of it. The main part of “Monkton” is the others ide of the ford. I’ll visit the church another day! The ford here though is a pretty spot. The hamlet of Tarrant RawstonContinue reading “The Tarrants: Pt3”
Darkroom: Testing Developers
So why did I just run though a whole roll of fresh FP4+ on the scene above? The answer is mastery! Well maybe that’s a bit grand – let me explain my thoughts… Chapter One: The Film One of the many joy’s I’ve had in the last few years, accelerated by starting this blog, hasContinue reading “Darkroom: Testing Developers”
Tractors at Pilford
One of the things about the Pilford Heritage Show that I attended again this year is that not only are things on show, they are often things that are used. I made four or five shots of tractors being driven around the ring by their owners. I’m not madly excited about tractors, but then againContinue reading “Tractors at Pilford”
35mm: Takumar Trek Pt3
For those who have been following this little series of posts, you may remember that part two finished with a photo taken from the car as I drove west, on part of the Castleman Trail, that is now buried under the road. If you feel like a catch up, part 2 is here. The “TakumarContinue reading “35mm: Takumar Trek Pt3”
Film: Buying a brick!
I was going to buy a “brick” of Ilford FP4+ in 35mm a few days ago. As some of you know, I have quite a large amount of out-of-date FP4+ to use up, but I’m going to be doing a few tests over the coming weeks and wanted to do it with fresh stock. RatherContinue reading “Film: Buying a brick!”
First Few of Pilford 2023
Last weekend was the Pilford Heritage Show 2023. When I arrived the larger haulage trucks were already doing their thing in the arena. It’s a very relaxed show, never overcrowded, so it was easy to just walk up to the edge and start making a few photo’s. My camera was already loaded and ready toContinue reading “First Few of Pilford 2023”
35mm: Not the Wimborne Folk Festival
Back in June I had a week off work – at the end of that week was the Wimborne Folk Festival. I’ve caught the end of it before and always thought it would be good to have a day there. It’s advertised as being all day Friday, Saturday and Sunday. I loaded up a rollContinue reading “35mm: Not the Wimborne Folk Festival”
The Tarrants: Pt2
In this segment of my day out with my Canon EOS 30, I’ve reached Tarrant Hinton. It’s a village largely cut in two by the A354. St Mary’s Church is the main attraction in the same way that the church often is in these little Dorset villages. This one is from the 13th century, insideContinue reading “The Tarrants: Pt2”
