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”
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”
