A few posts back I wrote about the Pentax Z10. While I was out I shot an entire roll – here is a small selection of the remainder of the images that I liked, or rather, thought were just about worth sharing! All of the images are made on FP4 Plus and developed in FX55,Continue reading “A Few from the Z10”

Single Photo: The Powder House
While out and about with the Pentax Z10, and taking my usual wander around Poole, the tide was abnormally low. This meant that I could get out further than usual and look back at the path. Above is the Powder House, as seen from the sea side! Built here in the 1750’s so ships couldContinue reading “Single Photo: The Powder House”
Nearly contre-jour!
From the same canon as “slightly pregnant” or “fairly unique” I offer you “nearly contre-jour”! A couple of weeks ago I was in a church yard, it was a beautiful day the sun was pouring onto the south facing wall of the church – almost too much light! It wasn’t the peaceful idyl it couldContinue reading “Nearly contre-jour!”
Single Photo: A Tree
After a malfunction in the darkroom, something I’m quite annoyed with myself about, and that you’ll hear about in due course, I’m left with a solo photo post today! This comes from the roll of film that I put through the Chinon CE4 the other day, and is my favourite photo from the roll. It’sContinue reading “Single Photo: A Tree”
Single Photo: Brownsea Island Ferry
I often take a photo walk, just to get out and get a bit of fresh air – especially if it’s a nice day. I often try and use a different camera as I have too many and need to keep them all ticking over. This time I had with me, my Spotmatic SP loadedContinue reading “Single Photo: Brownsea Island Ferry”
Another Walk Around Poole
Nothing new here today! Another roll of FP4, another walk around Poole, but it was a very nice day and the first walk this year without a coat! It was also the first roll with this camera and lens. Come to think about it plenty new! I was asked by someone who shall remain namelessContinue reading “Another Walk Around Poole”
Single Frame: Lobster Pots
I’ve photographed these pots many times. They are on the route that I take around the town of Poole, and they sit on the quayside. They have a certain texture to them, certainly a pattern and of course they are different every time I walk past them, so is the light. I still haven’t gotContinue reading “Single Frame: Lobster Pots”
Single Photo: Cobbles
This is the area outside of the local swimming pool. Cobbled as you can see but also with metal strips and concrete between for decoration. This time of year when the light is low, I can catch the glint of sun. I like the pattern of it! Chatter: Pentax ME Super, 50mm f1.4 SMC, IlfordContinue reading “Single Photo: Cobbles”
Pentax ME Super Goes Poole
A few more images from my first roll of film this year. Still suspicious of the shutter in my Pentax ME Super, I took it for a walk around Poole. It was a lovely sunny day with literally not a cloud in the sky. All seems well with it, again all the images came outContinue reading “Pentax ME Super Goes Poole”
First roll of the year!
Photographically I’ve had a slow start to the year, in fact my first roll of film, although started in January, I’ve only just used up and developed in early February. Almost un-heard of for me. I had to go to the local town of Wimborne for an appointment, so decided as it had been aContinue reading “First roll of the year!”
