A bit more steam!

I got back to Swanage railway station in time to catch the 1:30pm diesel train to the other end of the line. It’s a preserved railway that is 9.5 miles long, and is about a half hour ride. In a strange turn of events the younger diesel engine had broken down, so the much olderContinue reading “A bit more steam!”

Single Photo: Traction Engine Wheel

I made this image last weekend. It’s no award winning photo, but I am rather pleased with it. Apart from anything else it could be a demonstration: To anyone who say’s film (analogue photography) is too expensive, or even worse, a bit elitist, it was made with a Nikkormat FT2, made in the 70’s asContinue reading “Single Photo: Traction Engine Wheel”

Paul Nash at Swanage

While I was wandering around Swanage I made the photo above. I would make a guess that what is now “Playland Amusements” was once a fish market, judging by the fact the rail tracks run right through the front door! In the background is “The Parade”. It was here that British artist Paul Nash livedContinue reading “Paul Nash at Swanage”

London-on-sea

You may remember in my previous post I shared a photo of a column erected in 1862 by John Mowlem in 1862, on Swanage seafront. The theatre is also known as the “Mowlem”. If you think you’ve heard the name before, it was a construction company that at one point employed over 2500 people. HisContinue reading “London-on-sea”

Swanage Seafront

After arriving in Swanage by steam train, it was just a short walk down the main street to reach the seafront. It was a hot day, so first I had an ice cream – double chocolate, very nice! A little further along is this group of rather smart beach huts, you may recognise them fromContinue reading “Swanage Seafront”

… to Swanage

I’ve just had a long weekend off work. Friday I decided to get myself off to the seaside town of Swanage and there is only one way to arrive in style! Give or take about 6 miles inland is a park and ride for the “Swanage Steam Railway” a preserved railway. I hopped on theContinue reading “… to Swanage”

Single Photo: USAF/Yeovilton

The image above I made many years ago. I’ve long since forgotten the details of film/developer and so on. I don’t even know anything about the plane! I just like the image. The plane is from “days past” and sadly, so is the event. It was made at one of the Yeovilton Air Days. AsContinue reading “Single Photo: USAF/Yeovilton”

The Nao Santa María

On a recent wander around Poole I discovered that the full scale replica of Columbus’ Santa María, was docked. Apparently it took nearly 100 people only 14 months to built. It’s certainly impressive at over 28 meters long and a beam of nearly 8. But looks can be deceptive – “an innovative system was appliedContinue reading “The Nao Santa María”

For better or worse (OM1)

I had a quick lunchtime photo walk with the Olympus OM1n the other day. This time I finished up half a roll of Delta 100 in it. The 50mm f1.8 is as good was as good as ever. I walked on the opposite direction to my normal route and therefore took it a few streetsContinue reading “For better or worse (OM1)”

Delta 100 in the FT2

I mentioned in my last post that I took a photo walk around Poole at the weekend. Thankfully the recent high temperatures had dropped a little and there was more air movement, so it was pleasant enough. I also mentioned recently that I treated myself to a Ilford Delta 100 “refill”, and so I shotContinue reading “Delta 100 in the FT2”
