Last week I attended a lovely wedding in Christchurch Priory. Once upon a time I did wedding photography, as I watched the “pro” whizzing about I thought how nice it was to just sit and be involved with the service for a change! These days it seems the thing for wedding photographers to wear blackContinue reading “Christchurch Priory on Delta”

Guildford Cathedral on XP2
From the outside there’s something 1950’s power station about Guildford Cathedral. If it looks a tad familiar, it’s known as “The Omen church” for it was outside the front door that Gregory Peck and Lee Remick had a spot of bother with their errant son! More recently the nave was used in Netflix “The Sandman”Continue reading “Guildford Cathedral on XP2”
A Visit to Romsey
I’ve been to the Hampshire town of Romsey many times. The Plaza Theatre there became a bingo hall, like most, but then in 1984 bucked the trend and became a theatre again. Romsey Amateur Operatic and Dramatic Society (RAODS), now stage a dozen or so productions each year, but also hire the venue out forContinue reading “A Visit to Romsey”
Shooting HP5
Not that we as photographers need to put ourselves into groups or categories, but I think we naturally tend toward certain behaviours. At one end there is the “pro” who is all about the picture. The other end is the camera/equipment collector who rarely actually uses a film, but likes to collect and certainly talkContinue reading “Shooting HP5”
Southwark Cathedral
As I’ve written before, I’m slowly trying to visit all of the Anglican Cathedrals in the UK, and expose a roll of XP2 in each! As Southwark Cathedral was a short walk from my hotel in London, I couldn’t not visit! I did indeed get through a roll of XP2 in the Canon EOS 30,Continue reading “Southwark Cathedral”
More of Liverpool Cathedral
There are surprises in Liverpool Cathedral. Above is the altar, a rather strait documentary shot – here is “The Altar at Liverpool Cathedral, September 2022”, but looping behind I found interesting things! The Chapter house was smaller and plainer than I’d imagined, but at the same time had a cosiness to it that I thoughtContinue reading “More of Liverpool Cathedral”
Liverpool Cathedral
Continuing on directly from my last post, by the time I left the waterfront it was starting to spot with rain. By the time I hurriedly arrived at the cathedral it was raining hard. Luckily I have a good coat – stupidly I decided to leave it in the car, parked the other side ofContinue reading “Liverpool Cathedral”
Salisbury Cathedral
Some of you will know that I have been, on and off, working on a little photographic project of visiting and photographing all 42 of the British Anglican cathedrals. I’m no where near done – it will take years! I’m making the photo’s on Ilford XP2, 35mm. This time it is my “local”, Salisbury. MyContinue reading “Salisbury Cathedral”
Wells Cathedral in XP2
For a few years now I’ve been shooting a roll of Ilford XP2 whenever I visit a Cathedral. My recent holiday to Somerset provided an excuse to re-visit Wells, not that I needed one. This time armed with my Nikon F3 and of course a roll of XP2. I made a similar visit to ExeterContinue reading “Wells Cathedral in XP2”
Wells Cathedral Revisited
Last week I revisited Wells Cathedral – I’ve been photographing Cathedral’s on XP2 for the last 10 years on and off. Although I haven’t seen the results processed from this re-visit, I thought I’d have a look at the negs from my last visit, just to see what I photographed and caught my eye lastContinue reading “Wells Cathedral Revisited”
