The estate of Charlecote Park in Warwickshire has been in the Lucy family since 1247. The house was built in the 1550’s and has been added to since – most notably a “service wing” in 1829. All of that maybe remarkable enough, but perhaps even more so, is the fact that the Lucy family stillContinue reading “Charlecote Park”

St Leonards, Warwickshire.
St Leonards church in Warwickshire stands at the gate of Charlecote Park, home of the Lucy family. There is a tree lined avenue for the family to process along on a Sunday morning. The church that stands here today is a Victorian affair, it was commissioned by Mary Elizabeth Lucy as a memorial to herContinue reading “St Leonards, Warwickshire.”
Thoughts on: Bulk Film
I’ve been asked twice recently “What is bulk film?” I thought I would write a post. If you are newish to film photography I should start by offering a brief explanation: What is bulk Film? Most bulk film is black and white 35mm film. Exactly the same stuff that can be purchased in 24’s orContinue reading “Thoughts on: Bulk Film”
A few more from the pen!
Following on from my last post using the Olympus Pen EE3, here are a few more from the roll. I enjoyed using the camera, and have decided it’s one I’m, going to keep for the odd outing here and there. All of these images were made on Ilford Delta 100, and developed in home madeContinue reading “A few more from the pen!”
Kodachrome- Blast from the past
I opened up an old light meter today, tucked in the case under the meter was a folded piece of paper and the end of a film box for Kodachrome. Imagine a roll of process paid slide film for £3:65 !!! The English part of the info sheet doesn’t really impart great knowledge, except forContinue reading “Kodachrome- Blast from the past”
Hp5 @ 800
Christmas has just landed at the local garden centre I go to for breakfast once a week. I used this as a test to try some HP5 rated at 800asa. I loaded it into my Olympus OM2n and just left it on auto, I think I set an aperture of f5.6, and apart from focussing,Continue reading “Hp5 @ 800”
Phoenix II
Harman have released another colour film. Between version I & II there was a redscale effort, but frankly, who’s interested in that? Obviously they had some version I to shift! Version II however seems to be a good step forward. Let me start by saying that I support Harman’s attempt at a colour film. It’sContinue reading “Phoenix II”
In the Wisley Greenhouse
The Royal Horticultural Society (try saying that whilst drunk!), have 5 “show” gardens in the UK. The closest one to me is in Wisley, just over half a kilometre from the M25, closest point to point! 6km from Guildford or Woking. I took and hour and a half to drive there – coming back theContinue reading “In the Wisley Greenhouse”
Kentmere 200
Having used Kentmere 100 and Kentmere 400, when Harman came out with 200 – of course I was going to try it. Analogue Wonderland had a deal and I was sending them a couple rolls of colour for processing, so I added a couple of rolls in! I exposed this roll in my Nikkormat FT2nContinue reading “Kentmere 200”
Ilford Delta 100
I’ve just treated myself to a present! I got results that I really liked from Ilford Delta 100 developed in FX55. I’m coming to the end of my long roll of FP4 movie film, as I write this, I have 7 rolls left, so I thought I’d use Delta for a bit. If I’m honest,Continue reading “Ilford Delta 100”
