I mentioned a couple of posts back that I took the Zeiss Ikon 517/16 out for a walk! I loaded up a roll of HP5 and set off. I choose HP5 as the weather was a bit iffy – and indeed as I left the car there were a few drops of rain. In theContinue reading “Out & About with the Zeiss Folder”

Dorchester Bit’s & Bobs
People often say that if you have a dog, it’s good for you. You have to take it out for a walk, so it get’s you out and about in all weathers, whether you want to or not! I’m kind of the same but with photography. There are many times that I probably wouldn’t botherContinue reading “Dorchester Bit’s & Bobs”
On the Common
If I walk out of my back door, through the back gate, and walk for about 5 minutes, I’d be on Ferndown Common. When the dog was still alive it was a regular walk, but not so much these days. Not long ago I had a few frames of Ektar 100 left to use upContinue reading “On the Common”
Mudeford Quay Roll #2
A couple of weekends ago I went over to Mudeford Quay and walked the entire length of the promenade. I took my Lecia M6 with the Summicron 50mm lens. It’s not had an outing for a while, so it needed some exercise – so did I. I used up two rolls of Ilford Delta 100Continue reading “Mudeford Quay Roll #2”
Hasselblad Hike
After completing a Takumar Trek, I thought I’d try a Hasselblad Hike. Of course one of the joys and benefits of having such a collection of cameras is that one can choose the ideal tool for the job. Being a little out of shape, taking a longish walk, the obvious choice is the heaviest cameraContinue reading “Hasselblad Hike”
Single Photo: Pine Tree Stump
Just north of Wareham in Dorset is the Morden Bog National Nature Reserve. On the other side of Morden Road is a Forestry Commission Managed Forest. Of course what that means is that there are patches of young trees, older trees and stumps where trees once stood and have been harvested. The stump above wasContinue reading “Single Photo: Pine Tree Stump”
A Photowalk
Nothing new to see here! Sometimes I like to just load up a roll of film, take the camera with me, wherever I’m going, and make a few photo’s here and there of what I like and catches my eye. This time I took with me my Spotmatic – I have two, the SP andContinue reading “A Photowalk”
Weymouth #5 (Final)
In this last post of my walk along the entire length of Weymouth seafront, I reach the harbour, but before that, what were once old brightly coloured beach huts, have now been replaced by swish new wood coloured kisoks, aiming to look like up-turned boats. I’m not sure if I miss the old colourful hutsContinue reading “Weymouth #5 (Final)”
Weymouth #4 (George III)
About half way along the main part of Weymouth’s sea-front stands the “Jubilee Clock”. It’s a landmark that commemorates Queen Victoria’s 50 years of reign in 1887. Before that however Weymouth was put on the map and made popular by King George III. Yes, the one famous for being mad! As a treatment for hisContinue reading “Weymouth #4 (George III)”
Weymouth #2
Continuing on directly from my previous post as I walked along Weymouth sea front, I paused to make a couple of images of the “beach huts”. While these are not exclusively a British phenomenon, they are very typical, and out of season, a certain have a certain feel. In Weymouth they come in many shapesContinue reading “Weymouth #2”
