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”
More Colour from Dawlish
For those of you who have not read my previous posts relating to my recent Devon trip. I took my Canon EOS30, with the 40mm STM lens attached for a walk around Dawlish Warren, down in sunny Devon (UK). I had the film (Fuji C200) lab developed but scanned the negs on my Epson V600Continue reading “More Colour from Dawlish”
Teignmouth #1
I took the motorhome down to Teignmouth, parked up, and made the post you saw a couple of posts ago with the phone. You can see it in the middle of the image above. I did of course take a “proper” camera with me, my Canon EOS 30, with the 40mm STM pancake lens attached.Continue reading “Teignmouth #1”
Single Photo: Kent
We all like a photo of a door with peeling paint – this may be the ultimate! There is a preserved railway in Kent, the Kent & East Sussex Railway, that runs from Tenterden to Bodiam Castle. It’s a 10.5 mile ride on a good old steam train and makes for a great day out.Continue reading “Single Photo: Kent”
Bolivia: The end of film…
… for a short while! I’ll explain. Back in 2005 I found myself in Bolivia, as you do! I’ll be honest and say that I was a little apprehensive I’d heard stories, drug cartels, violence, on the US dangerous to visit list etc. I found the people wonderful, saw no demonstrations, fights or violence, inContinue reading “Bolivia: The end of film…”
Scotland
Almost exactly 15 years ago I went to Scotland with a good friend. We went to a Buddhist retreat on the shores of Loch Voil. Above is the view from Creag An Tuirc. It was interesting experience, one that mostly I enjoyed very much. On the journey up we stopped at Kendal in the LakeContinue reading “Scotland”
