It seems to have become a “thing” that when one buys a ticket to go in anywhere, it becomes a years pass! Winchester Cathedral*, Coventry Transport Museum and also here, the SS. Great Britain. This meant that as my visit was just within the year of my last visit, I had free entry, would haveContinue reading “2nd Visit to SS. Great Briain”

‘Zines
For a while now I’ve been looking at ‘zines. I’ve been getting a feel for the format, size, orientation, number of pages, quantity of photo’s, and so on. For what I have in mind I think the A5 format will be about right. The exact number of pages will be determined by the number ofContinue reading “‘Zines”
Single Photo: Baseball
Being English I never played baseball, in fact I tried my best not to play anything at all most of the time, sports wasn’t and still isn’t my thing. When I couldn’t get out of it, the closest I ever got to baseball was “rounders”. I have no idea what the similarities or differences areContinue reading “Single Photo: Baseball”
Single Photo: Poole Alleyway
A few weeks ago I was out shooting with a Canon FT QL with it’s 50mm f1.8 lens. What a nice set up that was. I made the above photo while walking around Poole. It’s not the best that I can do with that image! I think it would be improved if re-taken when it’sContinue reading “Single Photo: Poole Alleyway”
Fairness, culture and film!!
Trump – I’m not a fan, and this is not about politics, so don’t click away! I never thought I’d ever agree with anything he ever said – but… with all the recent talk about tariffs got me thinking: Is it really fair that Europe sells $161 Billion worth of stuff to the US MOREContinue reading “Fairness, culture and film!!”
Frosty Walk with the 5D
I find the grey and dullness of this time of the year a challenge mentally. I never used to even think about it when I was younger, but I would say that the last 5 years or so, I find it demotivating. When I’m at work I rise about 7am, and this morning it mayContinue reading “Frosty Walk with the 5D”
Goodbye WY Cameras
I was saddened to hear about a month ago that West Yorkshire Cameras is closing down. Over the years I’ve sold and brought many cameras with them. They were always fair on price, both buying and selling – and they did both with a sense of humour and style that I shall miss. Being fromContinue reading “Goodbye WY Cameras”
Business Speak
One of my Christmas gifts this year was a lemon LEUCHTTURM 1917 A5 Notebook. I’ve had one before so I knew what to expect, and I’ll say right off that I like them. The quality feels good, as does the paper inside. I use a notebook when I travel. It helps me put rolls ofContinue reading “Business Speak”
Wonder of Walnuts
At the start of last week I did a very small favour for an older Ukrainian couple. After chatting with them for a few minutes I discovered that they had been in the UK for a couple of months and that they came from Odessa. To any film fan like me that means Potemkin StairsContinue reading “Wonder of Walnuts”
Single Shot… Yellow Rope
Made whilst out on a photo walk around Poole. I’ve photographed this more than once before! Below is from my recently failed out-of-date roll of Kodak Colour Plus that reminds me of a quote I remember but can’t remember who said it or where I read it! “Digital was the coming of age of colourContinue reading “Single Shot… Yellow Rope”
