A couple of weeks back I took my Rolleicord Va down to Bournemouth beach, and used up a roll of Ektar 100. It was a glorious day, and as well as the photography I enjoyed the fresh air and sunshine. I’ve already shared half the roll – so here is the other half. I haveContinue reading “Bournemouth Beach with the Va Pt2”

I had a couple of days off work, a week or so back, so I had a day out at Montecute House in Somerset. Nice steak pasties!! Of course I took along one of my film cameras, this time loaded with a roll of Portra 160. A good day out was enjoyed! My film scannerContinue reading “The Scanning Drama”

Last week I shared some of the images taken with a Kodak Single Use Camera (SUC), that I’d had kicking around for a while. Having teased the film out, not a difficult task, as the film is wound back into the cassette as it’s used, so a job that really just involved prizing open eitherContinue reading “The Kodak SUC Pt2!”

About 4 years ago I won 2nd place in a small competition, the prize, a Kodak SUC (Single Use Camera). It’s spent time in the glove box of the car, it’s been bumped around in my work bag, and finally over the last month I’ve made the effort to finish it off. They contain anContinue reading “Kodak SUC”

Continuing on with a couple of rolls of film through my Rolleicord Va, this time I loaded up a roll of Ilford Delta 100. In this case a better choice would have been the 400. That aside, I stopped off at Wimborne and it’s Minster. It has along history being founded in 704 when Cuthburga,Continue reading “A Visit to the Minster with the Va”

Having used my “new to me” Nikon F3 for most of my photography for February, I fancied a change/more of a challenge for March. A change of pace with the Rollei Va. I shot a couple of rolls, the first being some colour on Kodak Ektar 100. These were taken on Sunday last, and theContinue reading “Bournemouth Beach with the Va”

Sherborne is a small, sleepy town, just in Dorset. Another few miles north and you’d be in Somerset. It’s not a long way from home, but it’s a fiddly drive, not really on my route to anywhere, and frankly has nothing there that draws me in, so I tend not to visit too often. ItContinue reading “Quick Visit to Sherborne”

A while back I wrote about finally getting around to photoshopping a few 35mm frames together – years after they were taken and that this corresponded with a work colleague 3d printing a pair of adaptors so I could put 35mm in my Fuji GSW 690III. You can read that post here. Finally I gotContinue reading “Panoramic Continued”

Just a short distance from Milford-on-Sea, the start point of the fairly new, Solent Way walk, is Hurst Spit, a long shingle bank that juts out into the Solent. At it’s closest point it is only separated from the Isle of Wight by about 1300 meters. Here was built Hurst Fortress. The fortress was startedContinue reading “A Walk to Hurst Castle”

A while back I took my trusty Pentax ME Super, loaded with what I didn’t know at the time, but would turn out to be some of the last “Poundland Special” £1 a roll Agfa Vista 200 colour print film. Hastings has a long maritime history stretching way back, in fact it was one ofContinue reading “Hastings Seafront”
