The Severn Bridge
On my way back from Tintern I stopped off at the Severn Bridge – the original Severn Bridge, that is – and on the spur of the moment decided to walk along part of it. Something I have always meant to do but never have. Construction of the bridge started in 1961 and it was…

A Day in the Lower Wye Valley
On Saturday 8 November I was fortunate to attend another Member Led RPS Landscape Group Walk – the second in a week! This one was in the Lower Wye Valley and led by Fintan Healy LRPS. Starting at Bigsweir Bridge on the River Wye just north of Tintern, in early morning mist, and finishing with…

British Camp, Malvern Hills
On Tuesday 4 November I attended a Member-Led Walk with the RPS Landscape Group led by Nick Browne ARPS to British Camp, an Iron Age Hill Fort on the top of Herefordshire Beacon, one of the highest peaks of the Malvern Hills. The weather wasn’t the best with grey skies, but there were still fabulous…

Surf Horse
On my usual morning walk today there was a horse being ridden on the beach so I took some photos with my Minolta Dynax 7 and Minolta 200mm f/2.8 on Ilford HP5. Both rider and horse were perfect for B&W photography! I developed the film in Mytol 1:1, ‘scanned’ the photos with a Sony A99ii…

Bristol Balloon Fiesta 2018
I’ve taken photos of the Bristol Balloon Fiesta before, shooting mass ascents from near the Observatory above Clifton Suspension Bridge but I’d never been to the actual event in Ashton Court. So last Thursday (9 August) was my first time. I had my Hasselblad H1, three lenses and a lightweight tripod. I particularly wanted to get…

Isle of Fire 2018
Photos from the Isle of Fire at Barry Island on Saturday 21 July 2018. Normally I’d take these on 35mm, usually with an Olympus OM-4ti loaded with Precisa for the flames, and another 35mm camera loaded with fast negative film, such as Superia 800. This time I had the H1 loaded with Provia 100F pushed…

Agfa APX 100
I was fortunate to be given a couple of rolls of Agfa APX 100 (thank you Nils!) and put one of the rolls through the H1. It’s the original APX, expired 2009. Love how these turned out.

War Time Bridgend
Photos from a Wartime Bridgend event on 16 June 2018. For this kind of even it’s great to be able to take my Agfa Isolette. It’s not quite war time, manufactured around 1950, but it’s close and is certainly very much like the cameras that would have been used in the 1940s. And Tri-X is…

Remembrance Sunday Bridgend 2016
Remembrance Sunday in Bridgend was a bright sunny November day, just perfect for the Olympus OM-4ti and Agfa CT Precisa transparency film. I also had the Yashica T3 loaded with Agfa Vista 200 (Poundland film). Thanks to the Royal British Legion for organising the day.

Brackla Fun Day
I had the pleasure of spending Saturday afternoon at a ‘fun day’ held at Brackla Primary School, Bridgend, hosted by Brackla Community Council. And of course, I had cameras at the ready. These were taken with a Contax G1 and Yashica T3 on Ilford XP2 and Ilford FP4+. I haven’t used FP4 in 35mm before,…

Hasselblad film no 174
Fresh out of the developing tank yesterday evening and scanned today, the 174th roll I’ve put through my Hasselblad. Although actually I’m on my third body – I started with a 500C/M, then a 501C and now a 503CX, but it feels like the same camera, possibly because the lenses, film backs and prism have…
