As is often the case, especially in English sea side towns, one blends into the next without any gap. So it is with Bognor Regis. One can walk along the seafront and wander into Felpham to it’s east, without even noticing. I did just that on a nice sunny morning back in September. Two wellContinue reading “A Walk along Felpham Beach”

Random Brighton
Other than “Brighton” this post has no theme as such, really just a collection of random images I made while wandering around the town. The photo above I quite like, with the sea gull posing, a cyclist, the old derelict pier in the background. Below are a few more! Chatter: For this series of postsContinue reading “Random Brighton”
Brighton old pier
Brighton has had three piers in it’s time. There was the Royal Suspension Chain Pier, opened in 1823, but destroyed in a storm in 1896. It’s replacement was the Brighton Palace Pier, which opened a couple of years later in 1899. That of course is still going strong! Between those two in time there wasContinue reading “Brighton old pier”
Brighton Pavilion
I’ve been to Brighton a couple of times before and made a few photo’s of the pavilion there. My main challenge to myself this time was to make a few interesting images that hopefully capture the place, but not take the same view that everyone always does! Beyond that – it’s a simple photo dumpContinue reading “Brighton Pavilion”
Bradford-Upon-Avon & St Laurence
I’ve been to Bradford-Upon-Avon a few times. Strangely this visit was the first time I’ve been into the town proper. I’ve caught the train in and out to Bristol from here, I’ve also walked both to and from Bath along the tow path from here, but both of those things don’t require going into theContinue reading “Bradford-Upon-Avon & St Laurence”
Coventry: The forgotten Roll!
I was disappointed with the photo’s I made of the “Whittle Arch” while I was in Coventry, back in January. Then I discovered I’d left a completed and rewound film in the camera! That’s something I’ve not done before – another trait to add to the “going bonkers list”! Having developed said roll, it containedContinue reading “Coventry: The forgotten Roll!”
Bristol Docks
After the roll of XP2 I used up in Bristol Cathedral I loaded in a roll of Kentmere 200 and wandered down to the docks. Kentmere 200 is a film that I’ve decided I like. Quality wise it seems to me, to fit in comfortably between Foma 200 and FP4. This roll I developed inContinue reading “Bristol Docks”
Single Photo: Bow of SS Great Britain
I made this image of the bow of SS Great Britain while I was in Bristol a few weeks back. It’s on HP5 and I developed it in D23, a combo that I like – it keeps the grain under control. It was made with a 24mm lens, as it’s not possible to get backContinue reading “Single Photo: Bow of SS Great Britain”
IKB @ Bristol
I recently had a day in Bristol. The last time I drove in Bristol I swore I would never drive there again, my blood pressure wouldn’t stand the abysmal signage, one way systems and generally appalling layout. With that in mind, I went in by train. Bristol is in many ways Isambard Kingdom Brunel’s town.Continue reading “IKB @ Bristol”
Last of Coventry
After the wander around the Coventry Transport Museum, time was getting on and I was getting tired! I’ve learned to call it a day when that happens. With a few frames left I finished off my roll of HP5 on a couple of exposures of the Whittle Arch – named after Sir Frank Whittle, inventorContinue reading “Last of Coventry”
