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”
Hamworthy Park: A Hidden Gem
Hamworthy Park is adjacent to Poole and just off my normal walking route when I visit there. I’ve been to it before, but sort of forgot about it! I had reason to go again not too long ago, and thought I’d take my Zeiss Nettar 6×6 folder with me for a change. I haven’t usedContinue reading “Hamworthy Park: A Hidden Gem”
Lydford Gorge in B/W
Lydford Gorge in Devon is home to the Whitelady Waterfall (above). Since my last visit, bad weather, heavy flooding, and raging water cutting through the gorge has caused so much damage that what was the middle part of the gorge is now impassable, and the walk that was, has been cut in two. Now twoContinue reading “Lydford Gorge in B/W”
A Church on a Tor
On the first day of my trip to and around Dartmoor in Devon (UK), I climbed up Brat Tor and visited the granite cross there. You can read that post here if you wish. This post, I climb another Tor, but this time to an entire church, St Michael de Rupe (St Michael of theContinue reading “A Church on a Tor”
Black-a-Tor Copse
Almost 2 years ago I wrote a short post about Whistman’s Wood on Dartmoor. You can read that here if you wish. On that visit I used my Bronica SQA and a roll of Kodak Ektar. It seems that it became too well known, overvisited, and it is hoped that both people and animal visitorsContinue reading “Black-a-Tor Copse”
King’s Tor
Following on from the last post of Bennett’s Cross, a couple of miles down the road, is the “Four Winds” car park. That tells you something before you even get out of the car! In fact on my visit the wind was not much more than a breeze but it was damp, murky and wetContinue reading “King’s Tor”
Bennett’s Cross
A single photo type post! Bennett’s Cross stands up on Dartmoor, it is one of many old/ancient crosses. This one may have been a marker showing the route between the monasteries of Exeter and Tavistock. Benet being a medieval corruption of Benedictine. On the other hand it could take it’s name from William Bennett aContinue reading “Bennett’s Cross”
