After completing a Takumar Trek, I thought I’d try a Hasselblad Hike. Of course one of the joys and benefits of having such a collection of cameras is that one can choose the ideal tool for the job. Being a little out of shape, taking a longish walk, the obvious choice is the heaviest cameraContinue reading “Hasselblad Hike”

Christchurch Priory on Delta
Last week I attended a lovely wedding in Christchurch Priory. Once upon a time I did wedding photography, as I watched the “pro” whizzing about I thought how nice it was to just sit and be involved with the service for a change! These days it seems the thing for wedding photographers to wear blackContinue reading “Christchurch Priory on Delta”
Longham Lakes
While I had my first roll of Kodak Pro Image 100 in my trusty Nikon F3 I took a walk to another local spot that I’ve neglected to visit, even though it’s within walking distance of home – Longham Lakes. This was once fields noted for brown hares. In 1994 planning permission was sought andContinue reading “Longham Lakes”
Single Photo: Pine Tree Stump
Just north of Wareham in Dorset is the Morden Bog National Nature Reserve. On the other side of Morden Road is a Forestry Commission Managed Forest. Of course what that means is that there are patches of young trees, older trees and stumps where trees once stood and have been harvested. The stump above wasContinue reading “Single Photo: Pine Tree Stump”
A Few from the Z10
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”
