Wroxeter in Shropshire was in roman times the 4th largest city in Britain. It’s under the care of English Heritage these days, and since I was in the neighbourhood I had to pay it a visit. The tallest part of the site is know as “The Old Work” and is a 7 meter tall chunkContinue reading “Wroxeter with the ME Super”

You can see from the threatening cloud in the image above, that my visit to Tatton Park was during mixed weather! I made that photo while the sun was out, minutes later it was raining and time to be inside! The mansion took an earlier house, added, extended and remodelled it between 1780 and 1813.Continue reading “Tatton Park Mansion”

My last holiday was near Liverpool (in case you missed the last multitude of posts!). I stayed in a holiday let on the Wirral. I was sceptical of it being a good spot for a holiday. As it turned out, it was one of the best I’ve had in the UK! I loved Liverpool. TheContinue reading “Wirral, Chickens and Beluga”

Tatton Park is in Cheshire, just north of Knutsford, drive about 13 miles up the M56 would see you in the centre of Manchester. I arrived mid morning with a partly used FP4 in my Nikon F3, ready to go. Cars have to pay to enter the park but once inside, as a member ofContinue reading “Tatton Park Lorry”

I do enjoy a wander around an art gallery. I find it gives the visual side of my brain a work out! The “Walker” was no exception. My taste in art is pretty random. I like some modern art, the stuff that makes me think, not the famous pile of bricks type. I like aContinue reading “Walker Art Gallery”

During my trip “up north”, I ended up using quite a bit of film in my Nikon F3. I also took along my Pentax ME Super, with the idea of running colour in that camera and B/W in the F3. Well that plan lasted for a couple of days, but soon faded! I enjoyed usingContinue reading “The Last of Liverpool”

You’ll be sorry to hear that I’m near the end of my Liverpool stash of photography! As you can tell by the number of posts I’ve made, I found a lot to interest me there, and therefore did a lot of photography! This penultimate post sees me at the Merseyside Maritime Museum. The basement containsContinue reading “Merseyside Maritime Museum”

Happy New Year everyone! May it be peaceful, creative, and bring joy!

Last week I saved a little box of 5 transparencies from the bin. They have no value apart from memory. I grew up in the 70’s and can remember if one ever visited a zoo, museum, cathedral or other such tourist attraction, there was always a visitors guide available, often printed by a company calledContinue reading “Walton – a trip down memory lane!”

I notice a number of the blogs I follow, have this year end been reviewing their favourite 3 cameras of 2022. I’ve only used one with any real gusto, and that is the Nikon F3. Certainly by volume I’ve shot more film with it than any other by a mile. I’ve given away a coupleContinue reading “A Year in Cameras”
