blackandwhite – I BOUGHT AN OLD FILM CAMERA

A walk in the snow.

We’re back in lockdown but that means we can still go out locally for a walk as I did the other day after there had be some snow the day before. Where I live there is a walk I can take which skirts a golf course and goes across some fields and ultimately down intoContinue reading “A walk in the snow.”

St Mary’s Lighthouse

It’s been a while since I last posted as I haven’t been going out too much because of Covid-19 and I’ve been spending a lot of time working in the garden. Now that it’s getting colder I thought I’d look through some photographs I hadn’t published before and post them. Much the same time asContinue reading “St Mary’s Lighthouse”

A second outing with my ‘new’ lens

It’s another National Trust run property, an interesting 16th century manorhouse which I think photographs well. Once again it was another mixed day, mainly cloudy with a little bit of sunshine here andContinue reading “More from the Pentax P30T”

First film through the Pentax P30T

As I was keen to try out my newly purchased Pentax P30T, I loaded it with a roll of Ilford Delta 100 film and went off to nearby Little Moreton Hall, a National Trust run property in Cheshire. It was a bright but cloudy day, no sunshine but plenty of light, ideal for photographing thisContinue reading “First film through the Pentax P30T”
