I recently came across a Kodak Single Use Camera called the “Zoom”. I don’t remember seeing one before. It had the film removed for processing, and it appears that the back is designed to fracture at a certain point to facilitate that happening. A deliberate weak spot to crack open. You can see below whereContinue reading “Kodak’s Zoom SUC”

Motorbikes at Pilford
While I was at the “Pilford Show” I also made a few photo’s of the motorbikes that caught my eye. A few of them had a run around the display ring too, but they were a little far off to get good photo’s with the 35mm lens. It was good to see some kids havingContinue reading “Motorbikes at Pilford”
The Tarrants: Pt4
In the last instalment of my “Tarrant” series, I’d reached Tarrant Rushton, and showed the church. The river un-surprisingly runs in the valley, but up on the plain above, not much higher, once stood RAF Tarrant Rushton. It was built between May 1942 and May 1943, and it’s main claim to fame is that HorsaContinue reading “The Tarrants: Pt4”
35mm: Takumar Trek Pt4
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!”
