People often say that if you have a dog, it’s good for you. You have to take it out for a walk, so it get’s you out and about in all weathers, whether you want to or not! I’m kind of the same but with photography. There are many times that I probably wouldn’t botherContinue reading “Dorchester Bit’s & Bobs”

Poundbury Architecture #1
Last month I had to do “the hospital run” to Dorchester Hospital. This leaves 4 or 5 hours for me to wander about before getting back to the hospital for a pick up! The hospital is on the eastern edge of Dorchester, and a little further east again, Dorchester runs into King Charles’ Poundbury, inContinue reading “Poundbury Architecture #1”
On the Common
If I walk out of my back door, through the back gate, and walk for about 5 minutes, I’d be on Ferndown Common. When the dog was still alive it was a regular walk, but not so much these days. Not long ago I had a few frames of Ektar 100 left to use upContinue reading “On the Common”
Extreme Close Up
Anyone who has been involved with photography for long enough in the UK will have come across one of the blue, two tone, boxes like the one to the left. The Butterfield Photographic Manufacturing Co (B.P.M.) made slide copiers, adaptor rings, and just about anything where photography and metalwork met. I just tried what theyContinue reading “Extreme Close Up”
Wings!
Finally from the “Wings and Wheels” show – a selection of wings! Most of the plane photo’s were made with my Canon 75-300mm EF. I don’t do much long lens work these days, in fact this is the only 300mm lens I own now. It comes out for the odd air show now and again.Continue reading “Wings!”
Mudeford Quay Roll #2
A couple of weekends ago I went over to Mudeford Quay and walked the entire length of the promenade. I took my Lecia M6 with the Summicron 50mm lens. It’s not had an outing for a while, so it needed some exercise – so did I. I used up two rolls of Ilford Delta 100Continue reading “Mudeford Quay Roll #2”
Left Hand Drive
To celebrate the state visit of President Trump, or maybe just as I have some, I’m posting some left hand drive vehicles today. The black and white images here were made on Ilford’s Delta 100. I do like this film, it has rich tones and little grain. The colour images are on Kodak Ektar, anotherContinue reading “Left Hand Drive”
Mudeford Quay Roll#1
I recently went to Mudeford Quay. It is right on the county line in the east. There is a promenade that is, give or take, two and a half miles long. So a five mile walk out and back. I used a couple of rolls of Ilford Delta 100 which I developed in FX55. AboveContinue reading “Mudeford Quay Roll#1”
The Country Squire
When I went to the “Wings and Wheels” show, I parked up, on the rough field you see above, next row back was a Ford Country Squire from 1970. Not in the show, just parked there like everyone else. In the window the owner had popped a sign… It’s one year younger than me! AContinue reading “The Country Squire”
3 Wheels
When I went to the “Wings and Wheels” event, I already had a roll of Kodak Ektar in the Canon EOS 30, so the first images I made were in colour. After the hard work of scanning the roll of Phoenix II the other day, this was nothing short of a dream! All of theContinue reading “3 Wheels”
