I took my OM1 with the standard 50mm f1.8 Zukio lens on my usual walk around Poole. I used FP4 and developed it in FX55. It was a nice day weather wise, some good clouds in the sky, but blue sky and sunshine. It felt like one of those “last days of summer” type days.Continue reading “Single Photo: Poole Harbour”

Dorchester Bit’s & Bobs
People often say that if you have a dog, it’s good for you. You have to take it out for a walk, so it get’s you out and about in all weathers, whether you want to or not! I’m kind of the same but with photography. There are many times that I probably wouldn’t botherContinue reading “Dorchester Bit’s & Bobs”
Poundbury Architecture #1
Last month I had to do “the hospital run” to Dorchester Hospital. This leaves 4 or 5 hours for me to wander about before getting back to the hospital for a pick up! The hospital is on the eastern edge of Dorchester, and a little further east again, Dorchester runs into King Charles’ Poundbury, inContinue reading “Poundbury Architecture #1”
On the Common
If I walk out of my back door, through the back gate, and walk for about 5 minutes, I’d be on Ferndown Common. When the dog was still alive it was a regular walk, but not so much these days. Not long ago I had a few frames of Ektar 100 left to use upContinue reading “On the Common”
Mudeford Quay Roll #2
A couple of weekends ago I went over to Mudeford Quay and walked the entire length of the promenade. I took my Lecia M6 with the Summicron 50mm lens. It’s not had an outing for a while, so it needed some exercise – so did I. I used up two rolls of Ilford Delta 100Continue reading “Mudeford Quay Roll #2”
Mudeford Quay Roll#1
I recently went to Mudeford Quay. It is right on the county line in the east. There is a promenade that is, give or take, two and a half miles long. So a five mile walk out and back. I used a couple of rolls of Ilford Delta 100 which I developed in FX55. AboveContinue reading “Mudeford Quay Roll#1”
Church of St. Wolfrida
In 961 a Benedictine Abbey was founded in the little Dorset village of Horton. Wolfrida was the first abbess. I’ve read two versions of the churches history – one says that in 1539 during the dissolution of the monasteries the priory church became the parish church. Another version of it’s history (that I think isContinue reading “Church of St. Wolfrida”
Back to the Quay
At the end of my visit to Brownsea Island, within Poole Harbour, I caught the ferry back to Poole Quay, where I had started and the car was parked. It was busy, and the ferry was full. The image above was made from the top, open deck looking back down the queue. We all gotContinue reading “Back to the Quay”
Brownsea Island
A couple of weeks ago I made a visit to Brownsea Island. The island sits within Poole Harbour (Second largest in the world by area!), and is about 1.5 miles long and 3/4 mile wide and is of course only accessible by boat. It is basically owned by the National Trust but has a complicated history that includesContinue reading “Brownsea Island”
Last of the Colour – Dorset Spring Fair
I’ve been having a bit of a clear up on my laptop desktop. I tend to use it, stuff builds up and then I have a tidy up. Part of that is a folder for each film scanned. Each film I use is cut and put into a filing sheet, then into a folder. I’veContinue reading “Last of the Colour – Dorset Spring Fair”
