Last week I was on vacation from work. I didn’t go far, in fact I stayed in a holiday home about a half hour drive up the road! It meant that it was easy to get away, without fuss. I didn’t need to plan much. At the same time it was a change of sceneContinue reading “Hythe, it’s pier and railway”

Phoenix: My First Results
I recently did my usual walk around Poole in Dorset, and took with me my Leica M4-P with the 35mm Zeiss Biogon. It’s a combination of camera that I am increasingly liking and is becoming a “go-to” for me. This time I loaded in my first roll of Harman’s Phoenix 200 speed colour film. TheseContinue reading “Phoenix: My First Results”
Bournemouth Break
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”
