The Royal Horticultural Society (try saying that whilst drunk!), have 5 “show” gardens in the UK. The closest one to me is in Wisley, just over half a kilometre from the M25, closest point to point! 6km from Guildford or Woking. I took and hour and a half to drive there – coming back theContinue reading “In the Wisley Greenhouse”

More Mono
A while back I cut a film out of the camera to develop quickly. It’s not something I do often, and to be honest, at this point I can’t remember what or why! However this left a 10 or so exposure for later use or for a test. Like many, the local Lloyds Bank closedContinue reading “More Mono”
Brownsea Island
A couple of weeks ago I made a visit to Brownsea Island. The island sits within Poole Harbour (Second largest in the world by area!), and is about 1.5 miles long and 3/4 mile wide and is of course only accessible by boat. It is basically owned by the National Trust but has a complicated history that includesContinue reading “Brownsea Island”

Kentmere 200
Having used Kentmere 100 and Kentmere 400, when Harman came out with 200 – of course I was going to try it. Analogue Wonderland had a deal and I was sending them a couple rolls of colour for processing, so I added a couple of rolls in! I exposed this roll in my Nikkormat FT2nContinue reading “Kentmere 200”
Last of the Colour – Dorset Spring Fair
I’ve been having a bit of a clear up on my laptop desktop. I tend to use it, stuff builds up and then I have a tidy up. Part of that is a folder for each film scanned. Each film I use is cut and put into a filing sheet, then into a folder. I’veContinue reading “Last of the Colour – Dorset Spring Fair”
Olympus OM2n (1979)
I wrote about my Olympus OM1 not too long ago. That prompted me to dig out my Olympus OM2n and run a film through that too! It’s a classic for sure, many film users have one. For the record the original “2” was released in 1975. It’s claim to fame is that is was theContinue reading “Olympus OM2n (1979)”
Colour at the steam fair
While I was at the steam fair I also used a roll of colour film, Portra 160. Everyone seems to rave about Portra 400, and it’s good, if expensive. I suspect that maybe because it has a very wide latitude. I however, think I prefer the 160. This particular roll was purchased from (they hadContinue reading “Colour at the steam fair”
Dorset Spring Fair Colour
You may remember back in the spring I went to the Dorset spring fair. I used a couple rolls of FP4 and dealt with those at the time. I also used a roll of Portra 160. I don’t shoot too much colour film, when I do I wait until I have three or four rollsContinue reading “Dorset Spring Fair Colour”
Road to Rail Steam Fair
Having enjoyed my day trip to Swanage by steam train, my ticket also allowed entry into the “Road to Rail Steam Fair”, it was right next door to the park and ride car park. I got there just in time to catch the last two steam engines making their way around the arena. Such heavyContinue reading “Road to Rail Steam Fair”
