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 You know the sort of thing, out of date film that gives purple photo’s or “red scale” which I understand is just film loaded into the cassette the wrong way around so youContinue reading “Trying Lomo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”
Phoenix: My First Results
I recently did my usual walk around Poole in Dorset, and took with me my Leica M4-P with the 35mm Zeiss Biogon. It’s a combination of camera that I am increasingly liking and is becoming a “go-to” for me. This time I loaded in my first roll of Harman’s Phoenix 200 speed colour film. TheseContinue reading “Phoenix: My First Results”
Tri-X @ Moors Valley
Last weekend I had a couple of days away, I took my “new to me” Leica M4-P loaded with a roll of Kodak’s Tri-X. I didn’t finish the roll, so rather than just snap away, I waited until my next day out to finish the roll on images I wanted to make. Thursday was my dayContinue reading “Tri-X @ Moors Valley”
Autumn at Kingston Lacy
A few posts back, I shared some images I made on my OM1n with a roll of Kodak Gold 200. That same afternoon, while the weather was still good, I popped along to our local National trust House, to finish off the roll, and capture some of that beautiful autumn colour. Chatter: Olympus OM1n withContinue reading “Autumn at Kingston Lacy”
A New Colour Film!
Today brings both good and bad news! The good first. At 4pm today (UK) time, Harman lifted the embargo on their new film – and it’s colour!! Harman Phoenix 200 is a colour C41 film, but unlike most it has no orange mask layer. But there is further news… I’ll cut and paste the officialContinue reading “A New Colour Film!”
Konica VX 200
I recently went to Kingston Lacy, the local National trust house, to make a few photo’s of the autumn colour. I Finished off the roll of fresh Kodak Gold that I had in the camera. In some ways this is a “cart before the horse” post as I haven’t posted those yet! However, I thenContinue reading “Konica VX 200”
Olympus OM1n
When we look at how quickly digital camera models cycle these days, and look back at “classic” film SLR’s, models that were manufactured for a decade or more seem incredible, but that’s how it was. The Olympus OM-1n was no exception and arrived on the scene in 1979. It was a “new” version of theContinue reading “Olympus OM1n”
Kodak: Tri-X
I recently shot a roll of Kodak Tri-X, to the best of my knowledge it’s the first roll I’ve used. I took a walk at the West Moors Country Park. It’s a good place for a walk especially if it’s been raining a bit, as the paths are all tarmacked. Just at the entrance toContinue reading “Kodak: Tri-X”
