It’s that time of year for a quick review and a look forward. I have made many more images this year on film. In fact about the only digital images I’ve made are photo’s of lenses and cameras to post here! If I discount those, then this year it must be about 98% film! AsContinue reading “10 Favourite of the year?”

Stille Nacht, heilige NachtAlles schläft; einsam wacht When I was around 11, I learned to sing “Silent Night” in German. Our class had to perform it, at the Christmas assembly before we broke for Christmas that year. I still remember the first verse even now, all these years later. I even think of it asContinue reading “Happy Christmas!”

Liverpool’s Metropolitan Cathedral, is the largest Catholic Cathedral in England. Because of the way I was walking around, I approached it from the rear! as per the image above. Walked around one side and went in. With me I had my Nikon F3, the 35mm f2 was on and a roll of Kodak Color PlusContinue reading “Liverpool’s Metropolitan Cathedral”

On my second day in the city of Liverpool, the sun was out! That was a welcome change from the first. To celebrate I loaded a roll of Kodak Color Plus, into the F3 and went for a wander. Having scanned this roll, I’m not going to claim that the “consumer” color plus, is aContinue reading “Around Liverpool”

My visit to the National Waterways Museum at Ellesmere Port, was on a dull and damp day. When it wasn’t raining I was outside making photo’s of the boats and locks. When the rain swept in, I went inside. There are several buildings containing industrial heritage. There is a working forge (above), boiler rooms, stablesContinue reading “More from Ellesmere Port”

I made a post about my visit to Chester Zoo and the black and white photo’s I made there, you can re-visit that post here! This time it’s the turn of the colour! I shot a roll of Fuji 400 too. On the whole I like the black and white better.

This is more of a story than a photo post, so for those of you who like the occasional read – read on! For those of you who like good photography, perhaps have a look at some earlier posts??! The “green hut” above dates from the 1920’s ex-army. It sits just outside the town centreContinue reading “A Moving (Picture) Story”

A couple of mornings ago I went out to get in the car and it was frosty, very frosty. It’s rare in these parts (Bournemouth, South-Coast UK) that we get a heavy frost and even rarer that we have the start of a hoar frost. So rare in fact that I’m not sure I’ve everContinue reading “A Frosty Start”

Towards the end of my holiday “up north” I visited the National Waterways Museum at Ellesmere Port. It’s an interesting spot and an ideal one for such a museum. In the image above you can see the historic canal boat “Gifford” in the foreground, then, behind the picnic table you can see a jumble ofContinue reading “National Waterways Museum”

Chester Zoo is one of the largest in Britain. About once a year I treat myself to a visit to a zoo. These days it is a treat as the cost o entry is spiralling, but I fully realise that the cost of keeping them open and viable must be astronomic! I also have mixedContinue reading “Chester Zoo in B/W”
