To celebrate the state visit of President Trump, or maybe just as I have some, I’m posting some left hand drive vehicles today. The black and white images here were made on Ilford’s Delta 100. I do like this film, it has rich tones and little grain. The colour images are on Kodak Ektar, anotherContinue reading “Left Hand Drive”

The Country Squire
When I went to the “Wings and Wheels” show, I parked up, on the rough field you see above, next row back was a Ford Country Squire from 1970. Not in the show, just parked there like everyone else. In the window the owner had popped a sign… It’s one year younger than me! AContinue reading “The Country Squire”
3 Wheels
When I went to the “Wings and Wheels” event, I already had a roll of Kodak Ektar in the Canon EOS 30, so the first images I made were in colour. After the hard work of scanning the roll of Phoenix II the other day, this was nothing short of a dream! All of theContinue reading “3 Wheels”
Hood Ornaments
In this small selection of images made at the “Wings and Wheels” event, I concentrate on hood ornaments. All of these images were made with the Canon EOS 30, the 40mm STM lens and on Delta 100. I developed the film in Crawley’s FX55.
Wings & Wheels 2025
This weekend just gone I went to this years “Wings and Wheels” show. I remember going to an early one, maybe the 2nd or 3rd, and I’m amazed to find out that this year, 2025, is the 25th! It takes place at Henstridge Airfield, which in itself is interesting. Although it seems like it’s atContinue reading “Wings & Wheels 2025”
Dorset Spring Fair
Back during the first May bank holiday I went to the Dorset Spring Fair. I’d not been to this event before, so wasn’t sure what to expect. In the event there was a bit of everything. There was a food tent with mostly Dorset food. There was a craft tent, some food stalls, a carContinue reading “Dorset Spring Fair”
Cars in Peril
Never a dull moment! I drove back from my holiday in Devon on a Friday. Two days later I was sat in the lounge and saw some smoke and assumed a winter fire to burn some leaves. Then it got bigger, then bigger again. To cut a long story short a Vauxhall Zafira across theContinue reading “Cars in Peril”
Last of the Summer Colour
A few posts back I wrote about taking my Nikon FM2n for a day out the the Purbeck Car Rally here. Now that we are well into autumn, that roll of Kodak Gold turned out to be the last of the summer colour. That’s no disaster- personally I prefer the crisper light and feel ofContinue reading “Last of the Summer Colour”
35mm: Back to the 80’s
Last month when I visited the Purbeck Car Rally, I decided I’d take my little used Nikon FM2n for a day out. I took the 50mm f1.4 but mostly used the f2 35mm. Sometimes it’s good to just chill and forget about developers, filters and all that stuff, and just throw in a roll ofContinue reading “35mm: Back to the 80’s”
35mm: More Purbeck Car Rally
I haven’t had time to scan the roll of colour film I shot at the rally, so this post is just a selection of images of quite random things that caught my eye on the day. I’m particularly pleased with the sharpness of these. That Nikon f2 35mm focusses down really close – 1 footContinue reading “35mm: More Purbeck Car Rally”
