Way, way back in 2017, before covid et al, I had a holiday in Yorkshire. Near the top of the list of things to see was the National Railway Museum, in York. I took along my then newly serviced Pentax ME super, and few rolls of the good old Agfa Vista 200, that was stillContinue reading “York Rail Museum”

Forgotten Pilford (on Ilford)
I had half a roll of the Ilford bulk loaded FP4 movie stock left in my camera, when I arrived at the Pilford Show. Somehow, although it got developed I missed scanning the half roll and only just scanned a few images that pleased me.
St Mary’s and the Red Lion
A while back when I was exploring the little Winterbourne stream and using up my roll of Ektachrome, I went to the village of Sturminster Marshall for the first time. It’s a bit off the beaten track! I parked in the car pack of the Red Lion, and had a 5 minute exploration about theContinue reading “St Mary’s and the Red Lion”
Wells and it’s Wells
Here’s one of those true but surprising facts. Wells is the second smallest city in the UK. What is surprising is which it’s second to… London! Of course what we “think of” as London is a sprawling metropolis, but the actual “City of London” is actually a very small centre (1.12 square miles) by councilContinue reading “Wells and it’s Wells”
Doors (again!)
I’m not quite sure what I find interesting about doors, although I know I’m not alone!! These were made on a roll of my Ilford FP4 movie stock, interspersed through out the roll as I photographed whatever caught my eye!
Developing Expansion
When I very first started developing film, about aged 7 in the mid-late 70’s, my father brought a second hand kit for me, from an add in the back of the local paper. This was long before the web, never mind eBay. It took a single 35mm film and was exactly the same as theContinue reading “Developing Expansion”
Cars on show
As I’ve already posted, I shot 3 rolls of Pan-F Plus at the recent Pilford Heath Transport Show. I’ve already shared most of the images from those three films that I liked. I did shoot one roll of colour while I was there, an out of date Fuji C200 from 2016. I used it up,Continue reading “Cars on show”
Caren Hartley-Bicycle
An unusual post from me today for two reasons, I rarely make a post with just one photograph, and if I do, it’s rarely a digital one. Before Covid, I went to Mottisfont, just north of Romsey. It’s a National Trust house. My visit coincided with a exhibition of “craft”. One of the exhibits containedContinue reading “Caren Hartley-Bicycle”
Tractors!
Not something I photograph everyday – although Dorset, my home county is quite rural. Rectangular images on this post (as above) were taken with my EOS 30, while the square images were made using my Rolleicord Va, all were made on Ilford Pan-F Plus. Below is what I believe to be a Field Marshall 3A,Continue reading “Tractors!”
A Day out with PAN-F Plus
Following on from my last post, last weekend saw the “Pilford Heath Transport and Heritage Show”. I took two rolls of Pan-F Plus in 120, kindly sent to me by Ilford and a roll in 35mm that I had brought a couple months back. The 120 I used in my Rolleicord Va while the 35mmContinue reading “A Day out with PAN-F Plus”
