I’ve just had my 55th Birthday! It seems incredulous that I am that old, my birth certificate confirms it however! This year my loved ones gave me a “Black and White” Birthday!! Way back in 1990 I went to the cinema, it was a very common event. It was one of my “trips” up toContinue reading “A Black and White Birthday!”

Single Photo: Tree in a Park
I made the photo above while on a day visit to Exeter. Although I’ve been to Exeter many times over the years, this was the first time I’ve managed a visit to the gardens. I enjoyed a wander around and made a few photo’s here and there. I was using my Olympus XA2 loaded withContinue reading “Single Photo: Tree in a Park”
Black-a-Tor Copse
Almost 2 years ago I wrote a short post about Whistman’s Wood on Dartmoor. You can read that here if you wish. On that visit I used my Bronica SQA and a roll of Kodak Ektar. It seems that it became too well known, overvisited, and it is hoped that both people and animal visitorsContinue reading “Black-a-Tor Copse”
A Lot of Old rubbish or A film Photographers Environmental Responsibilities
I’ve just come back from Devon (UK), I had a wonderful time and really enjoyed the beauty, fresh air, and openness of Dartmoor. I also enjoyed using my Hasselblad and in total shot 11 rolls of 120 B/W film and 5 rolls of 35mm. I’ve now developed them all and have a scanning job aheadContinue reading “A Lot of Old rubbish or A film Photographers Environmental Responsibilities”
Re-acquainting myself with 6×6
I decided that the main camera I was going to take on my trip to Dartmoor, was the Hasselblad 501CM. I reasoned that as I would be making almost exclusively landscape photo’s, it would slow me down a bit, and the quality would be good. It was also a good excuse to use some IlfordContinue reading “Re-acquainting myself with 6×6”
A Brick on a Trip!
I’ve had a bit of hiatus recently! Work has been busy, and I’ve been getting ready to do a trip. I’m now on the trip and as I sit writing this I’m in a converted barn in the heart of the Devon countryside! As always one of the first considerations on any trip is whatContinue reading “A Brick on a Trip!”
FP4 as HP5
While I was on my mini-break I raided my film stash for 400 speed film. I felt sure I’d need it, and I was correct! I ran very low, but in the end I returned home with half a dozen exposures left on the last roll. It seems to be a “thing” these days ofContinue reading “FP4 as HP5”
Winchester Mill on XP2
Ok, so the first photo obviously isn’t a mill! It’s King Alfred standing looking down on and up along the “Broadway”. It was decided in 1899 that a statue would be built to commemorate 1000 years since the death of Alfred. It was finished in 1901, and has been there ever since. He ruled fromContinue reading “Winchester Mill on XP2”
Trying Lomo Potsdam
Intro: I’m not one for trying odd film stocks that give weird results, I’m not knocking them, it’s just not for me. You know the sort of thing, out of date film that gives purple photo’s or “red scale” which I understand is just film loaded into the cassette the wrong way around so youContinue reading “Trying Lomo Potsdam”
Historic Southampton
After taking the ferry from Hythe, across Southampton Water to the city, I disembarked at the “town quay”. At the land end of the pier stands the impressive Edwardian “Harbour Board Building”. Once housing the board responsible from running the harbour, toady it is grade 2 listed, but used as a casino! Just as aContinue reading “Historic Southampton”
