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A while back I wrote a post about Okehampton Castle, and photographed it in B/W on my little Olympus XA2 on out-of-date FP4.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”
Into the Woods
I have two backs for my Hasselblad, so apart from shooting mostly Pan-F black and white, I could also have some colour on the go at the same time. In this case I’d cracked open my last (?) 5 pack of Fuji 400 Pro. I’m not sure if this is officially now discontinued or justContinue reading “Into the Woods”
Another day, another tor!
A little further on from my last post lies Saddle Tor, rising about 1473 feet above sea level. As such it provides lovely views over Dartmoor. This day was a continuation of my previous post so I’ll not repeat the details again – they are the same! Finally the view from Saddle Tor, looking backContinue reading “Another day, another tor!”
Haytor, Dartmoor
Another day spent up on Dartmoor on my recent vacation to Devon, saw me at Haytor, or Haytor Rocks to be exact. As usual for this trip I had my Hasselblad 501cm with me, the 80mm Zeiss CFi lens on and a roll of Ilford Pan-F plus in. By this point in my trip I’dContinue reading “Haytor, Dartmoor”
Lydford Gorge: Colour
A couple of posts ago I wrote about Lydford Gorge and how it’s been split in two by the raging waters of the winter. This post is “the other end” which was once the main start point for a walk through the gorge. A new bridge (above) now spans the river Lyd, to take walkersContinue reading “Lydford Gorge: Colour”
