A few posts back, I shared some images I made on my OM1n with a roll of Kodak Gold 200. That same afternoon, while the weather was still good, I popped along to our local National trust House, to finish off the roll, and capture some of that beautiful autumn colour. Chatter: Olympus OM1n withContinue reading “Autumn at Kingston Lacy”

Dorchester Heritage Day:2
The Keep is perhaps the most distinctive building in Dorchester. It is a military museum. I’m not much into military things, but I’ve always been intrigued to see what was inside the building. The heritage day, is a good excuse to have a look as it’s free entry for the day! I took the NikonContinue reading “Dorchester Heritage Day:2”
Dorchester Heritage Day
Back in September, Dorchester had a “Heritage Day”. What this means for locals is that some of the “attractions” are open for free visits. One that interested me, and that I haven’t been in before was the Shire Hall. This building was the courthouse for Dorchester, and therefore, as Dorset is pretty rural, most ofContinue reading “Dorchester Heritage Day”
35mm: Takumar Trek Pt11
In the last part I’d just walked under the A31, a short walk on, and the Lady Wimborne Bridge (pictured above) appears . I can imagine a steam train running under it . The fact is, it never did – it ran over the top! The bridge was built to allow the path to theContinue reading “35mm: Takumar Trek Pt11”
35mm: Takumar Trek Pt10
In the last part I’d reached the Canford Bottom Roundabout. It’s a bit of a land mark in these parts, and not always for the best reasons. Too many choices in too small a space! In the Google Earth screen grab, I’ve traced in white just under the route, the train once took. It amazesContinue reading “35mm: Takumar Trek Pt10”
35mm: Takumar Trek Pt9
When I started this series I had no idea that it would take so long! I thought I’d probably break it down into 4 or 5 posts, and already this is part 9!! Not that it matters. There’s no hurry. I ended part 8 at the police station, which means of course that this partContinue reading “35mm: Takumar Trek Pt9”
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: Takumar Trek Pt8
Another part to my “Takumar Trek” today! At the end of part 7 the path reached the outskirts of the newish town of West Moors. It’s one of those places that mostly grew into existence during the building boom of the 1960’s and 70’s. Before that it was a small village, and the train hadContinue reading “35mm: Takumar Trek Pt8”
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”
35mm: Purbeck Rally
Yes, more photo’s of cars and the like! The truth of the matter is that this summer in these parts the weather has been a bit dull and un-interesting. That, combined with working full time, and other commitments have meant that it’s been a bit of a meagre season for “days out” – which isContinue reading “35mm: Purbeck Rally”
