I think this little collection of images will be the last black and white that I post from my visit to Pilford Heath Transport and Heritage Show (Pilford on Ilford). I do have some colour car images left to share. The car above is a Jaguar MkII from 1959, and is owned by M.Nicholls inContinue reading “The Last of Pilford”

Kodak Ektachrome E100
When Kodak announced to the world it was bringing back Ektachrome in 2018, I was very pleased. I used quite a lot in the 80’s, eventually changing over to Kodachrome, which I used for much longer. With the demise of Kodachrome I swapped over to Fuji Sensia. As soon as it was made available IContinue reading “Kodak Ektachrome E100”
Big Steam at Pilford
More Ilford at Pilford! This time the “Large Steam Exhibits” as the programme calls them – traction engines to you and me! All these are made with my Rolleicord Va and are on Pan-F. Below we see a Aveling & Porter DT Tractor dating from 1929 and owned by John Quick. Above a Fodgen SteamContinue reading “Big Steam at Pilford”
Pilford on Ilford
The title of this post is courtesy of fishyfisharcade – it had to be done! I suspect I’ll end up making a few posts about the “Pilford Heath Transport and Heritage Show” which just happened, weekend last. I mostly shot Ilford Pan-F, one roll of 35mm in my EOS 30, two rolls of 120 inContinue reading “Pilford on Ilford”
First and Last
NOT a post moaning about film prices! I just brought another roll of Fuji’s Superia X-tra 400. The last surviving of the Superia range that once had a full line up of both 100 and 200 asa emulsions. I came across it for £12:99. By modern standards a bargain! Look at Amazon… .. but asContinue reading “First and Last”
Gold 200 in 120
Whilst on holiday I had chance to use my roll of Kodak Gold 200 in 120 format. I took my Rolliecord Va with me, so loaded it up and off I went. This film has been around for quite some time, and I’ve used quite a bit of it over the years, but it’s onlyContinue reading “Gold 200 in 120”
Another day, another film!
The more films I try, the more I think I should just stick with Fp4 or Delta 100! I am however grateful that we have the choice of films that we do! This roll fell into my lap. In fact I helped someone sort out their camera, they asked me to dump the film. AContinue reading “Another day, another film!”
Ilford 3200
I’ve already posted the fact that by choice I lean towards slower fine grain films. Despite that, as a fan of Ilford Delta 100 and 400, it was only going to be a matter of time before I tried their 3200 offering. I made a recent visit to Dorchester Museum, now re-branded as the DorsetContinue reading “Ilford 3200”
HP4
No it’s not a typo, in the tin is some HP4. I recently purchased a box of “photo bits” mainly for the Olympus Af10 I wrote about here. Lurking in the bottom of the box was this old rusty tin, with a hand typed label, you see above. The first thing was to open itContinue reading “HP4”
Exeter Cathedral on XP2
For a few years now I’ve been working on a little project, which is to visit and photograph all of the Church of England Cathedral’s in Britain. This is usually combined with being closer to one on a vacation, rather than driving from one end of the country to the other to visit one! WhenContinue reading “Exeter Cathedral on XP2”
