After wandering about the Valley of the Kings, in the heat of the day it was a welcome break to venture underground and slightly cooler temperatures! At this point in time I can’t remember which tombs I went in and which I didn’t, and to make matters worse I can’t find my travel diary either!Continue reading “Travel: In a hole in the ground..”

Travel: Valley of the Kings
Just over the hill from the Valley of the Queens, lies the more famous Valley of the Kings. More famous because of one out of 65 tombs, (known so far) and that is the tomb of King Tut Ankh Amun. In case you haven’t read any of the other posts in this series, I visitedContinue reading “Travel: Valley of the Kings”
Travel: Egypt Valley of the Queens
Today I’m covering another day of my trip to Egypt. This time, I cross the Nile from Luxor to visit the Valley of the Queens. For those of you who’ve read the first two posts, you’ll know I took with me a digital video camera, a Canon Zoom 60 and as my main camera aContinue reading “Travel: Egypt Valley of the Queens”
Travel: Luxor, Egypt
A couple of weeks ago I wrote about the start of a trip I made to Egypt. You can read part one here if you wish. I had with me my Bronica ETRS, with a couple lenses and backs. Since that post I’ve had time to scan a couple more films, and thought today, IContinue reading “Travel: Luxor, Egypt”
Millennium Dome
The other day while pulling the “Egypt” negative sheets out of the file for scanning, I noticed that the next film along was a roll of black and white Fuji NP400. The film was discontinued in 2013, about the same time as the original Acros was introduced I think. I can’t find a “birth-date” forContinue reading “Millennium Dome”
Travel: Egypt
Not too long ago I purchased an Epson V600 scanner, mainly so I could scan 120 film. This was for two reasons. I now have a Hasselblad camera and need to scan new work. The second reason is that I’ve had a few medium format cameras over the years and would like to scan someContinue reading “Travel: Egypt”
Yorkshire Air Museum
Sometimes I go to places with a good idea of why, and what I hope to see. Sometimes I just come across something I’ve never even heard of. This visit was the latter. On driving to our holiday accommodation we circled a roundabout just south of York, I spotted a sign for the Air Museum,Continue reading “Yorkshire Air Museum”
Day on Dartmoor
A while back I had a holiday break, staying down in Devon, a stones throw from Dartmoor National Park. In the 80’s as a family, we always had a summer holiday and often it was down in Devon. I have a soft spot for the area, it’s true! On this occasion I had a dayContinue reading “Day on Dartmoor”
Weston-Super-Mare
My day out to the Somerset coast came to and end in Weston-Super-Mare. The journey from Brean Sands was eventful, as somehow, no names, the cruise control on the car came on. I never use it so didn’t know what the symbol was, and obviously didn’t have my reading glasses on. I thought we wereContinue reading “Weston-Super-Mare”
Brean, Somerset
Brean is in Somerset, the name is derived from (modern) Welsh (“Bryn”) for hill, and there’s certainly one of those here! I stopped here on my way from Burnham-on-sea, north along the coast to Weston-super-mare. Brean divides the two towns. The huge down, juts out into the Bristol Channel, and while the beach from BurnhamContinue reading “Brean, Somerset”
