Slop Bog is perhaps not the most attractive or enticing title to grab a passing visitor. It is however a little local nature reserve that is protecting a small area of bog, where I have personally seen birds, deer, snakes and many varieties of insect. I enjoyed myself at the larger, and slightly further awayContinue reading “Slop Bog #2”

Hasselblad Hike
After completing a Takumar Trek, I thought I’d try a Hasselblad Hike. Of course one of the joys and benefits of having such a collection of cameras is that one can choose the ideal tool for the job. Being a little out of shape, taking a longish walk, the obvious choice is the heaviest cameraContinue reading “Hasselblad Hike”
Ektar in the Zeiss Ikon
It’s been a while since I used any film in my Zeiss Ikon 517/16. I loaded up a roll of Kodak Ektar and set off on a glorious sunny day, for a walk around the local town of Wimborne Minster. No purpose other than to have a walk and make 12 images! I did discoverContinue reading “Ektar in the Zeiss Ikon”
Kentmere 100 in 120
Today I’m posting a few more frames from my first roll of Kentmere 100, in the 120 format. I found quite a bit to like. Although this roll was free to me – it’s 20% cheaper than FP4 (according to today’s price at Analogue Wonderland), these day’s that’s not to be sniffed at. I alsoContinue reading “Kentmere 100 in 120”
Single Photo: Pine Tree Stump
Just north of Wareham in Dorset is the Morden Bog National Nature Reserve. On the other side of Morden Road is a Forestry Commission Managed Forest. Of course what that means is that there are patches of young trees, older trees and stumps where trees once stood and have been harvested. The stump above wasContinue reading “Single Photo: Pine Tree Stump”
To Squeegee or not to squeegee!
Years ago I dumped my film squeegee. I always thought it was a stupid idea to pull one’s wet, soft and easily damaged emulsion through a rubber wiper. It’s just asking for trouble! Then one day the inevitable happened and I threw it in the bin in disgust. Years later of course I could scanContinue reading “To Squeegee or not to squeegee!”
Street Portraits
Street portraits is not something that I am particularly comfortable doing. However, inspired by Kenneth Wajda – check out his website here, I decided to push myself. I set out with a roll in my Zeiss folder – hoping that this may start a couple of conversations, loaded with FP4. I got a couple goodContinue reading “Street Portraits”
A few from the street
I like street photography – when I see it done well in books. I like making photo’s in the street myself, but don’t think that I have much skill at it. That doesn’t mean that I don’t have a practise now and again. On this occasion I took out my Zeiss folder, loaded with aContinue reading “A few from the street”
A Walk from South Zeal
I had picked up one of those community leaflets, the type that offer “5 walks around South Zeal” in this case walk 5 to Shilley/Shelly Pool, caught my eye. There always seems to be two names for things around these parts. Having parked up, walked out of the village into the countryside, up a ratherContinue reading “A Walk from South Zeal”
Okehampton Castle in Colour
A while back I wrote a post about Okehampton Castle, and photographed it in B/W on my little Olympus XA2 on out-of-date FP4. You can re-read that here if you’d like! I also took along the Hasselblad and used, nearly a roll of colour. I’m not sure I overly like Fuji 400 Pro. It seemsContinue reading “Okehampton Castle in Colour”
