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”
Single Photo: Saqsaywaman
In Peru, at altitude of just over 12,000 feet stands the Citadel of Saqsaywaman (also known as Sacsayhuamán. It overlooks the city of Cuzco below to the south. General consensus is that it was built in the 15th Century, although signs of habitation of the hill top date right back to around 900CE. It wasContinue reading “Single Photo: Saqsaywaman”
Single Photo: Butterfly Past
Almost exactly 18 years ago I made the image above. It seems like a few months ago! For those who like the “chatter” it was at ISO 100 f5 at a 60th sec, with a Canon EOS 20D. Why I went on to spend literally thousands on not one but three successive full frame SLR’sContinue reading “Single Photo: Butterfly Past”
Single Photo: Felsenreitschule
You all know the building above, you may not recognise it, but you do! This was once a quarry, much of the stone used to build nearby Salzburg Cathedral. When finished the area was turned into a riding school – “Felsenreitschule” means rock riding school. So the nobility could watch in comfort, 96 arcades onContinue reading “Single Photo: Felsenreitschule”
India: Memory Lane with FP4 #2
A while ago I shared a few photo’s made while I was in India. While there, I also went to Jaipur and to Benares (Varanasi) – the only place on the Ganges where the river turns so that one can view sunrise. Of course one morning I awoke uncharacteristically early, set of in a madContinue reading “India: Memory Lane with FP4 #2”
Single Photo: Austria
One day up a mountain in Austria, I stood with my Panasonic G6, 75-150mm attached, admiring the view when this fellow launched himself. As he circled I made the photo above. I made two others but this is the one where the background mountains are “just right” – or rather I liked them. I thinkContinue reading “Single Photo: Austria”
Single Image: The Rocket Garden
I made this photo while on a trip to Kennedy Space Port, Florida in 2007. I used my Canon EOS20D with the standard kit lens 18-55mm. f10 at 250th, ISO was set at 100, and I used the 18mm focal length. I can tell you this as the camera recorded the info along with theContinue reading “Single Image: The Rocket Garden”
India: Memory Lane with FP4
Way back in 1999 I took a trip to India. I exposed much film while I was there but only 3 rolls of black and white – looking back I wish I’d made more b/w images, but that said, India is, if anything – colourful! I wasn’t due to go to there, it was allContinue reading “India: Memory Lane with FP4”
