On our recent trip to Salisbury, we visited the Cathedral. I had set myself a ban on digital photography, and so I took my Mamiya RB67 for landscape shots (such as Stonehenge and Old Sarum), and my Canon AE-1 Program for “portable” photography. Unfortunately, after I developed the four films on our return to Bristol,Continue reading “Salisbury Cathedral”

Lou Lou again
Yep – it’s Lou Lou again, and this time she’s rolling around on her scratching pad.
Old Sarum
Old Sarum is the site of an ancient hill fort, the oldest settlement that is modern Salisbury. It’s a much more interesting heritage site than Stonehenge, and only half the price to enter! This view shows part of the ruined royal palace. I don’t know what this room is or was, but it gave meContinue reading “Old Sarum”
Stonehenge
On our way to Salisbury at the bank holiday, we stopped off at Stonehenge. I have to admit, I was pretty disappointed. You can’t get anywhere near the stones and you are confined to a walkway that goes around them. On top of that, it was overcast and grey. Nonetheless, I got a couple ofContinue reading “Stonehenge”
Hay Tor
I last went to Hay Tor on Dartmoor on New Year’s Eve in 2008, so it seemed a good idea to revisit with the Mamiya. It’s my second favourite rock, after the moon. On arrival, I was somewhat disappointed with the weather. It was fully overcast so there were no shadow details on the torContinue reading “Hay Tor”
Me & my camera
This photo was taken for the Photo Challenge this week – folks & their camera. Taking a self-portrait on a camera that doesn’t have a self-timer is pretty hard, so I decided to pose with my fun camera and use my digital camera to take the picture.
Caen Hill Locks
On Sunday I went to Caen Hill Locks, in Wiltshire. In total there are twenty-nine locks, but the most famous ones are the sixteen that are packed in together over a short stretch. I walked up and down the main flight looking for photos, and found these. This is the detail of the ratchets usedContinue reading “Caen Hill Locks”
Stanton Drew stone circles – Revisited
Recently I posted a roundograph I shot at the stone circles at Stanton Drew. I promised to upload the photos shot on film when they are ready – and that day has now come.
Cat’s eyebrow
Sorry, I struggled to think of a title for this photo. It’s Lou Lou’s eye, although the autofocus latched onto her fur rather than her eye. I quite like the effect.
Severn Beach
This week I went to Severn Beach after dark, to see what the second Severn Crossing looked like. Turns out it’s pretty nice at night.
