I haven’t made a “single photo” post for a while, so I thought I’d do one for all the wrong reasons! I should explain I have either a really, really bad cold or Flu. I feel completely worn out, and have one of those coughs that sounds like a man who’s been smoking for 50Continue reading “Single Photo: Comfort”

W is for Wareham
Wareham in Dorset is an old Saxon town. Although there is evidence of Roman, and slightly further afield, Mesolithic activity dating back to 9000 BCE, the oldest thing you can visit are the old walls above. Most likely built by Alfred the Great to keep the invading Danes out. Obviously that didn’t go well asContinue reading “W is for Wareham”
P is for Portesham
You may have noticed I’ve made a couple of posts with similar titles. I’ve done A,B and C. So what’s that about? Well as mentioned before, I’ve half decided that going forward, I’m going to shoot little or no more colour film, but sticking to B/W. That is after I’ve used up my colour stashContinue reading “P is for Portesham”
C is for Cerne Abbas
The village of Cerne Abbas dates back to 987 and the Abbey that once stood here. Bit’s of it can still be visited, the Tithe Barn, a guesthouse and gatehouse. The village is sizeable and although it’s grown over the years – it’s centre is still quaint enough. Should you wish – you can readContinue reading “C is for Cerne Abbas”
B is for Blandford Forum
Blandford Forum in Dorset is one of the best places to view Georgian architecture in the country. This is mainly due to fire in 1731 sweeping the sheet clean so to speak. The Bastards were prolific, both as architects and builders, and were responsible for the church above. There must be a good joke thereContinue reading “B is for Blandford Forum”
Bluebell Time
History evolves! I used to visit this area as a kid – we knew it as Hardy’s Monument. More about that in a coming post. My father would pull into the gravel car park, park up, along with my mother, sister and I, and we’d all pile out for a walk or picnic or whatever.Continue reading “Bluebell Time”
Happy 1000th
As I mentioned the other day I haven’t been doing too much photography recently, it’s just been too hot! Having said that I have caught up on both developing and scanning. A non-milestone of sorts was reached as I filed the 1000th film. Or, more acurately the 1000th negative film as I now store them!Continue reading “Happy 1000th”
A is for Abbotsbury
Back in late spring I took my Hasselblad and tripod out for the day. I drove down to the small quaint village of Abbotsbury. All of the images in this post are made with the 80mm CFi lens – good old Zeiss! This roll was Kodak Portra 160. Developed by Analogue Wonderland and scanned atContinue reading “A is for Abbotsbury”
Fuji NPH at Bournemouth
Back in the spring I took my Hasselblad for a walk along Bournemouth promenade loaded with a roll of Fuji NPH 400. It’s a couple of years out of date but had been stored in the fridge. I have a fair bit of colour 120 film to use up and this was the oldest stock,Continue reading “Fuji NPH at Bournemouth”
Old Wardour Castle
I took the Hasselblad to Old Wardour Castle, which dates to the 1390’s and although now ruined, enough of it stands to make a visit worthwhile. Perhaps best known as being the ancestral home of Kevin Costner in Robin Hood Prince of Thieves, his father of course being Brian Blessed. In case you were wonderingContinue reading “Old Wardour Castle”
