Ever fancied a beach hut? “Beach huts at Hengistbury Head (specifically on the highly sought-after Mudeford Sand Spit) are among the most expensive in the UK. They typically sell for between £300,000 and £575,000, with some exceptional units reaching up to half a million pounds or more depending on their exact location and amenities” –Continue reading “Beach Huts at the Head”

Single Photo: The Fairy Tree
Ok so a “Single Photo” post with two photo’s – I know, I know! The colour photo to the left was made on Kodak Gold, with my Canon EOS 30 and the 40mm STM lens. It’s actually “The Fairy Tree”, at St Helens Duver, on the Isle of Wight. It’s one of those trees whereContinue reading “Single Photo: The Fairy Tree”
Another walk at Hengistbury Head
I have a lot of 120 film to use up and so I have been taking out the Hasselblad with me more often. In this case a walk around Hengistbury Head in Dorset. It was a lovely sunny day, and in the end I used a couple of rolls of Ilford Delta 100. Once backContinue reading “Another walk at Hengistbury Head”
Hasselblad on Chesil
Last time I used my Hasselblad was on the beach at Bournemouth, this time I was on Chesil beach, a very different type of beach! Bournemouth is the typical seaside town with ice cream, chalets, and amusements. Chesil is wild. The beach is about 18 miles long and is a “Shingle Barrier Beach” which meansContinue reading “Hasselblad on Chesil”
Hasselblad goes to the beach
I tried my hand at using the Hasselblad tripod free, and found it easier and more freeing than I thought I would! This is a roll of Ilford FP4 developed in FX21. All of these images were made with the 80mm lens, a standard lens as 6×6 goes in field of view, way above standardContinue reading “Hasselblad goes to the beach”
Hasselblad Happiness
I’m very lucky to own a Hasselblad 501CM with a Zeiss 80mm CFE lens. It’s a wonderful camera and lens. It’s performance is faultless. I also have a stash of 120 film that is slowly going out of date, so I decided to give myself a “kick up the rear” recently and get out andContinue reading “Hasselblad Happiness”
HP5 in the folder
As I sit here typing this, it’s pouring with rain and it has been for hours. Grey, dull, dismal! My walk around West Moors Country Park with my folding Zeiss 6×6 in the sun under a blue sky seems an age away. This was a roll of HP5 which I developed in D23. Interestingly IContinue reading “HP5 in the folder”
Out & About with the Zeiss Folder
I mentioned a couple of posts back that I took the Zeiss Ikon 517/16 out for a walk! I loaded up a roll of HP5 and set off. I choose HP5 as the weather was a bit iffy – and indeed as I left the car there were a few drops of rain. In theContinue reading “Out & About with the Zeiss Folder”
Knowlton Church
A couple of day’s ago I wrote about the Church of Wolfrida, that sits within the Parish of Knowlton. Knowlton Church is not only Norman and ruined, but stands within a henge. The henge is believed to date between 3000 and 2000 BCE, and there are several “barrows” very close by. These days sadly thereContinue reading “Knowlton Church”
Church of St. Wolfrida
In 961 a Benedictine Abbey was founded in the little Dorset village of Horton. Wolfrida was the first abbess. I’ve read two versions of the churches history – one says that in 1539 during the dissolution of the monasteries the priory church became the parish church. Another version of it’s history (that I think isContinue reading “Church of St. Wolfrida”
