Dunham Massey Hall is a National Trust property just to the south-west of Manchester. It came into their care when the last Earl of Stamford died in 1976. I wouldn’t say that the outside has much to commend it – in fact I’d say it looked rather drab, but it’s an interesting place with aContinue reading “Dunham Massey Hall”

I finished off the roll of XP2 I was using, it only had a few exposures left. I loaded in one of my 20 year out of date, bulk loaded FP4’s and continued on. If you read the previous post, there’s not much more to say, other than here are a few more that caughtContinue reading “Last steps in Llandudno”

About 20 miles, half hour drive from St Asaph, is the seaside town of Llandudno. The town reminds me very much of my hometown of Weymouth. Late Victorian growth brought on by the coming of the railway. A few notables of history, in the case of Llandudno Sylvia Sleigh, born here in 1916. I hadContinue reading “A few shots of Llandudno”

During my holiday, having stayed just about 5 km from the Welsh border, I couldn’t not go! I set off and crossed the River Dee at “Queensferry” and then along the A55, otherwise known as the North Wales Expressway. My plan was to visit St Asaph, a brief visit to the seaside town of Llandudno,Continue reading “Into Wales with the Nikon F3”

Having made it into the Museum of Liverpool, dried off and got past the central stair case, it was time to pay attention to some of the displays. These sort of things I like to just wander and look more closely at things that catch my eye and interest me, and wander past things inContinue reading “Museum Work”

I dived into the Museum of Liverpool, like a drenched river rat into his hole! Just inside the door are a few chairs, I took one, and proceeded to dry off as best I could with two tissues. I loaded a fresh roll of Ilford Delta 400 into my Nikon F3 with the 35mm lensContinue reading “Museum Steps”

I make a point of avoiding advertising where I can. You know the sort of thing.. the 10 extra bits of paper stuffed into the TV guide, trying to sell me plug plants for the garden or a raincoat, or my favourite, the chair that tips people out! I avoid the A boards in streetsContinue reading “Still Life in a hurry!”

Last week I wrote about my visit to Ness Botanical Gardens here. I took my Pentax ME Super with most of a roll of Kodak Colour Plus in it. I used it up and needed more! As it was just a couple of miles from where I was staying on holiday, I made a secondContinue reading “Return to Ness”

A short while back I wrote about the waterfront in Liverpool, and showed some photo’s of the “three graces”. This post continues where that left off. Above is the Museum of Liverpool. Just across from here is Graving Docks, part of the waterfront and there sits the RMS Lusitania Propeller, below. On the same pierContinue reading “Liverpool Waterfront Pt2”

As a bit of a break from my black and white exploits at Speke Hall, I thought today I’d share a handful of colour images taken on the Liverpool Waterfront. I had a roll of Kodak Colour plus in my Pentax ME Super. All of these photo’s were made with the 50mm SMC. Above andContinue reading “Liverpool Waterfront Colour Splash”
