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”

Leica goes to Mudeford
Mudeford (pronounced Muddyford), is in the far east of Dorset, less than 2 km from the end of the sea wall is the Hampshire border. The quayside is at the entrance to Christchurch Harbour – I’ve visited the “other side” many times, you can read the post where I messed up a roll in theContinue reading “Leica goes to Mudeford”
Single Photo: Night Sky
About a week ago I was finishing work, just about in “magic hour” which in my experience is half an hour if your lucky! I looked up and saw the crescent moon, against the sky with just enough light to record as blue (rather than black). Very close by was Jupiter, easily within the frame.Continue reading “Single Photo: Night Sky”
More from the Fuji
Just before Christmas the building in the middle distance burned to the ground. The one with the charred beams leaning out over the street was the the Gorge Café on Dorchester’s South Street. It was a land mark for many, some as a café – I can remember going in as kid, when we visitedContinue reading “More from the Fuji”
Weymouth #5 (Final)
In this last post of my walk along the entire length of Weymouth seafront, I reach the harbour, but before that, what were once old brightly coloured beach huts, have now been replaced by swish new wood coloured kisoks, aiming to look like up-turned boats. I’m not sure if I miss the old colourful hutsContinue reading “Weymouth #5 (Final)”
Door Wreaths
I popped out for a quick lunchtime walk, the first image I made was of a Christmas Wreath on a door so then I got sort of locked on and made more! All of these were made within about 10 minutes of each other! Chatter: Canon 5D with 50mm f1.4
Weymouth #4 (George III)
About half way along the main part of Weymouth’s sea-front stands the “Jubilee Clock”. It’s a landmark that commemorates Queen Victoria’s 50 years of reign in 1887. Before that however Weymouth was put on the map and made popular by King George III. Yes, the one famous for being mad! As a treatment for hisContinue reading “Weymouth #4 (George III)”
Weymouth #3
Nothing like an empty sea-side shelter on a winter day! I used to sit in this very shelter as a kid and eat my sandwich, apple and packet of crisps (potato chips!). Opposite it stands the Hotel Prince Regent. Maybe “the” hotel in Weymouth although a couple others may disagree, it’s location is hard toContinue reading “Weymouth #3”
Weymouth #2
Continuing on directly from my previous post as I walked along Weymouth sea front, I paused to make a couple of images of the “beach huts”. While these are not exclusively a British phenomenon, they are very typical, and out of season, a certain have a certain feel. In Weymouth they come in many shapesContinue reading “Weymouth #2”
Weymouth #1
Another run to the hospital, left me with 5 hours to fill so I drove 8 miles south to my hometown of Weymouth. I moved away over a decade ago, but spent over 40 years there, and so have many memories of almost every nook and cranny! I have some great memories but these daysContinue reading “Weymouth #1”
