Continuing on from my last post I ventured inside! There was nothing to say that one could, I just assumed! Like wise this lovely doorway (Left) I made the image, went up the stairs, door locked, not the way in! Another door, around the corner equally not marked was indeed the way in. Then aContinue reading “Inside Warwick Castle”

Warwick Castle
Well as mentioned in my last post, I’m back from a long week-end “up north”! People in the north would call it the midlands! In today’s post – Warwick Castle. I visited on the first day, on my way to the hotel. I made some photo’s on both Kodak Tri-X and HP5, with my CanonContinue reading “Warwick Castle”
Single Photo: Mother and Child
There’s much wrong with this image. The mother needs to be better separated from the background on the right hand side. That could be improved with a better scan, and a little photoshop levels. It’s an old scan. It’s not pin sharp, again a better scan would help a bit. It’s slightly on a “wonk”Continue reading “Single Photo: Mother and Child”
Single Photo: Machu Picchu
The “Historic Sanctuary of Machu Picchu” as it now seems to be called, was lost to history until it was re-discovered by Hiram Bingham in 1911, then later by me in 2005 when I made this image! Although it’s the “standard photo” overlooking the site, it was noteworthy for me for a couple of reasons.Continue reading “Single Photo: Machu Picchu”
Single Photo (nearly!): Banksy
Banksy may or may not be Robin Gunningham, the latter was a student of Bristol Cathedral School, approximately 110 meters away from this “Banksy” “You Don’t Need Planning Permission to Build Castles in the Sky” (above). Just the other side of the river (600 meters away) is Banksy’s “The Girl With Pearl Earring” or IContinue reading “Single Photo (nearly!): Banksy”
A few more from Bristol
Back at Easter I had a day trip to Bristol, it didn’t quite go to plan, I walked to Bristol Cameras, only to find them closed. Before I left I had discovered that the Cathedral was closed for the day, or rather I would be there about half an hour after it had closed havingContinue reading “A few more from Bristol”
Guildford: with the Pentax ME Super
Three years ago I wrote a post about Minehead, back then I was shooting the last of my Agfa Vista 200 stash from Poundland. I was also using the Pentax ME Super that three years later I’m still enjoying using! While in Guildford I had a wander around the castle and gardens. The castle wasContinue reading “Guildford: with the Pentax ME Super”
Guildford: High Street
Although it’s not that far from home – and I’ve been there twice that I can remember, both my past visits to Guildford were tied up with film festivals. I’ve seen the same car park, stage door, and theatre interior twice, and nothing else of the town! It’s one of those places that is outContinue reading “Guildford: High Street”
Half a Dozen more from Bristol
The images here are a few more from one of the two rolls that I developed in D23 based Perceptol developer. After scanning more I’ve decided that I’m not that keen on that mixture! Yes, it does give a good tonal range, but to my eye they look a bit “muddy”. That could be partlyContinue reading “Half a Dozen more from Bristol”
SS Great Britain and HP5
I had a full day in the city of Bristol this weekend, it didn’t go quite as planned and so I ended up, rather unexpectedly visiting the SS Great Britain, designed by the great Isambard Kingdom Brunel. This wasn’t a bad thing as I’ve fancied seeing it for ages. Amazingly after over 100 years onContinue reading “SS Great Britain and HP5”
