I live quite close to West Moors Country Park. It’s great for a walk, the route I do is about two miles. Even better, it’s tarmacked for most of the route, making it good for a walk even if it’s been wet. There is a small scale railway – I’m not sure what scale itContinue reading “West Moors Bunker”

A Few from Ferndown
You may remember in my previous post “A few from Wimborne”, I mentioned that I cut the film half way through – well this is the other half! The following day I did a similar walk around the place, Pentax ME Super in hand, 50mm f1.4 mounted and finished off the Agfa APX 100. ThisContinue reading “A Few from Ferndown”
A few in Wimborne with the ME Super
I had an hour or two to spare, and wanted to pick up a magazine. At one point I got 4 or 5 magazines on monthly subscription, some from their start – once I’d filled an entire book case with out-of-date information, and a ton of paper, the whole lot got recycled, and I cancelledContinue reading “A few in Wimborne with the ME Super”
A Walk Continued #2
Continuing on – where once was a Roman wall now are “west walks” along the west side of town. The borough gardens run parallel, always a pleasant break in a working day when the weather is nice, although I’ll admit to sitting in the band stand with my coat on and eating a sandwich, inContinue reading “A Walk Continued #2”
A Walk Continued
Last week I shared a couple of posts where I went out with my Pentax Spotmatic and 50mm standard lens for a short photowalk. I had been given an out-of-date twin pack, containing two rolls of Fuji 200. I only got to about the halfway point of the proposed walk and ran out of bothContinue reading “A Walk Continued”
More of Poole
Poole Harbour is the second largest natural harbour in the world. It’s about 14 square miles. Only topped by Sydney, in Australia. Not the busiest port or deepest, just by area. In fact a large percentage is only about half a meter deep, so ferries and bigger ships have to be careful and follow channelsContinue reading “More of Poole”
More Fuji C200
Continuing directly on from my last post, this delightful cottage borders the river Frome as it passes through Dorchester, or I suppose more accurately a diverted Mill Stream from it. The delightful “Hangman’s Cottage” is indeed where the hangman once lived. Indeed standing on his front door step could have seen the gallows when erected.Continue reading “More Fuji C200”
Good Old Fuji C200
Not too long ago I was gifted a couple of rolls of Fuji C200. These, expired in Aril 2010. This is what I now refer to as “the original Fuji stuff” as opposed to the current “new Fuji C200”. If one reads the “new” box, it states made in the USA. Well Fuji don’t manufactureContinue reading “Good Old Fuji C200”
A Walk from South Zeal
I had picked up one of those community leaflets, the type that offer “5 walks around South Zeal” in this case walk 5 to Shilley/Shelly Pool, caught my eye. There always seems to be two names for things around these parts. Having parked up, walked out of the village into the countryside, up a ratherContinue reading “A Walk from South Zeal”
Into the Woods
I have two backs for my Hasselblad, so apart from shooting mostly Pan-F black and white, I could also have some colour on the go at the same time. In this case I’d cracked open my last (?) 5 pack of Fuji 400 Pro. I’m not sure if this is officially now discontinued or justContinue reading “Into the Woods”
