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”
Nepal: More Black and White
Continuing on from my last post, here are a few more from my black and white images I made while in Nepal. The film was FP4+. Most of the photo’s here were made in Bhaktapur, it’s a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and although it’s the smallest city in Nepal it’s also the most densely populated!Continue reading “Nepal: More Black and White”
Nepal: A Country in the Clouds
When I was young there were two places in the world I wanted to visit. The first was New York. I’ll write about that another time, let’s just say for now I was on the train going there, when a chemical plant caught fire in Buffalo, flames drifted across the tracks, halted the train andContinue reading “Nepal: A Country in the Clouds”
An Exciting Development… Coming Soon!
Roger Fenton (1819-1869), English photographer, worked from his portable ‘Photographic Van‘ during the Crimean War. Well it may be his van, but sat on it, is his assistant Marcus Sparling…
Lydford Gorge in B/W
Lydford Gorge in Devon is home to the Whitelady Waterfall (above). Since my last visit, bad weather, heavy flooding, and raging water cutting through the gorge has caused so much damage that what was the middle part of the gorge is now impassable, and the walk that was, has been cut in two. Now twoContinue reading “Lydford Gorge in B/W”
Drake Circus
Drake Circus is the main shopping mall in the centre of Plymouth. It opened in 2006, and houses around 70 shops. It’s a handy place to park in the centre of Plymouth, and close to the HMV store, which once was in the centre, but now is just outside! As shopping malls go, it’s nothingContinue reading “Drake Circus”
