We visited Sherborne Abbey almost a year ago, and enjoyed it so much that we went back again this year. The real point of the visit was to hear Hannah sing at choral evensong in In Ecclesia Exon. If you came here for the photos, then please enjoy.

Magnificent beasts
Hannah and I went to Longleat again recently. We’ve been a few times before because we enjoy it so much, which means I’ve taken most of the photos I can take there. This time, I was more content just to sit, look, listen and admire the animals. Of course I got my camera out aContinue reading “Magnificent beasts”
Summer evening in Bristol
These pictures were taken on a lazy walk after work on a warm summer’s evening. There was a lovely glow in the air and people were relaxed. I did my best to capture the easy vibe with my Zorki-4, Jupiter-8 and a roll of Agfa Vista 200, aka Poundland film.
Panoramas
These panoramas were taken with a medium format film camera (a Mamiya RB67) loaded with 35mm film. I’ve taken panoramas in this way before, but this time I used a 3D-printed spool adapter. I managed to squeeze 11 panoramas onto a film designed for 24 exposures. These are my favourite two – scanned without theContinue reading “Panoramas”
Tintern
At the weekend I went for a walk around the Tintern area with a friend. We walked about eight miles, starting from Tintern Abbey and heading up to the Devil’s Pulpit which overlooks it. It’s quite a steep climb to the top! Much of the walk was in shady woodland and there weren’t many opportunitiesContinue reading “Tintern”
Colour pictures from black & white film (again)
After success using this technique on a casino set, I decided to try again with a different subject. This time I chose some peppers. Everything else was the same – I shot the scene sequentially through red, green and blue filters – and recombined the three channels digitally. Once again, the green filter wasn’t the right shadeContinue reading “Colour pictures from black & white film (again)”
Ultraviolet photography
The common mention of “ultraviolet” in photography is the use of ultraviolet (UV) filters, which specifically block UV light and allow visible light into the camera. This is less important in the digital days since UV is also blocked at the camera sensor. It was more important in the film days when too much UV lightContinue reading “Ultraviolet photography”
Dew drops
There’s been a lot of black & white photos on my blog lately, so I think it is about time for a splash of colour. Here are some water droplets perched on my grass.
Stairway gallery
One of my favourite features about my house is the staircase. It’s tall, light and airy and has one of those halfway landings where the stairs do a U-turn. We’ve lived here for more than three years now and I’ve finally got round to implementing an idea I’ve had for ages – a stairway photo gallery.Continue reading “Stairway gallery”
St Philip’s Marsh
Not a very glamorous name, but there is a rail depot there and a good vantage point from St Philip’s Causeway. As it was sunny, I took this picture with my infrared DSLR.
