Just dug out my Sekonic L-758D Lightmeter out of the storage box only to find that the reflective metering display reads over exposure no matter what the light level. . Read on for a successful conclusion ………
Par Docks
A series of images taken last August at Par Dock. A number of us were very fortunate to have a guided tour of the area for a couple of hours. The Dock played a pivotal role in the export of China Clay from Cornwall, but a decline in the industry and changes in the way clay is now transported, means part of the dock is now undergoing development into a marina. The guided tour…
Heliopause
Finally got round to deving the film from the Pinhole taken a few weekends ago. While conditions were calm and the wind low, the 30 second exposure highlights the small movement in the trees and water. Taken on yet another sunny day and something that is quite welcome after all this rain we’ve had. The walk to the lake also has us counting the avian wildlife we saw in an hour, for submission to…

I was quite surprised how accurate the exposure was, despite the cameras age. I’m not sure if the sensor is Gallium Arsenide or Selenium based, but in the bright conditions I was…
Welcome to 2013

My last proper outing was in July with a Pola trundle in Manchester, followed by a well deserved break in wild wet and windy Scotland. The reason for the lack of any output has been primarily the completion of work on the ‘Weekend Country’ retreat….
Funland

While the break is always welcome. it costs you a shedload in lost revenue, and creates so much of a backlog of work when you return, that you need another holiday to get over it. This years break was no exception and will a computer failure on the day I official got back to work, it’s taken three…
