Cathedrals – S.H.O.U.T.

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”

Exeter Cathedral on XP2

For a few years now I’ve been working on a little project, which is to visit and photograph all of the Church of England Cathedral’s in Britain. This is usually combined with being closer to one on a vacation, rather than driving from one end of the country to the other to visit one! WhenContinue reading “Exeter Cathedral on XP2”
