I like photographing as the sun gets low, I like the warm light and the length of the shadows. The images above and below were made on the fields that lead up to Maiden Castle, just to the south of Dorchester, on Fuji Reala. The image below is of the Fleet Lagoon that sits betweenContinue reading “645: When the sun starts to set”

6×6: Another Roll of Fuji Reala
I was born and raised in the seaside town of Weymouth on the South Coast (UK). For a while it was host to the International Firework Competition, we had some spectacular displays out in the bay. One day I hatched the idea of making a photo with the “Jubilee Clock” (Queen Victoria) in the foregroundContinue reading “6×6: Another Roll of Fuji Reala”
35mm: Holes Bay
Holes Bay is part of the area of Poole that has had a bit of a transformation in recent years. Part of that, is the building of a new bridge “Twin Sails”. So named as the road across the gap is divided diagonally, so when raised, it’s two triangles resemble the sails of a passingContinue reading “35mm: Holes Bay”
35mm: RNLI at Poole
When I was a child the RNLI base at Poole was a medium size office block. I remember the statue above the door, a man in sou’wester looking towards the sea – it’s still there. Since my childhood the operation has expanded massively, and now joining the original headquarters building is an “all weather lifeboatContinue reading “35mm: RNLI at Poole”
35mm: Leica Goes to the Sea
Whilst taking a family member to hospital the other day, I had a good hour or so to fill, so I decided to have a wander. I have often been to Poole and written about it, but this time I thought I’d try a different patch. The Hunger Hill area is off the beaten walkingContinue reading “35mm: Leica Goes to the Sea”

Kodak E100 Goes Winterborne Pt2
Last week I wrote about how I used my roll of “new” Ektachrome, tracing the route of the little river Winterborne. You can read that first post here. This post picks up the story as we arrive in the next village – Winterborne Kingston. At the time I arrived at the church, we were atContinue reading “Kodak E100 Goes Winterborne Pt2”
Kodak E100 goes Winterborne
The Film and Camera: Having purchased a roll of Kodaks “new” Ektachrome E100, it sat in my film cupboard waiting for use. A month or so ago it finally got used up. It took much longer to get processed in the E6 chemistry than it normally takes the lab to dev my C41. It hasContinue reading “Kodak E100 goes Winterborne”
The Last of Pilford
I think this little collection of images will be the last black and white that I post from my visit to Pilford Heath Transport and Heritage Show (Pilford on Ilford). I do have some colour car images left to share. The car above is a Jaguar MkII from 1959, and is owned by M.Nicholls inContinue reading “The Last of Pilford”

Below we see a Aveling & Porter DT Tractor dating from 1929 and owned by John Quick. Above a Fodgen SteamContinue reading “Big Steam at Pilford”
