An image from this day last year, a day spent (as was the whole week) on the beautiful Isle of Whithorn in Dumfries & Galloway.
This pic was submitted to, and published in, The Scotsman that very week (although the subtle colours got a bit lost on newsprint!)

Monochrome Monday… another forgotten roll…
Farm building, the Nièvre
Pentax MZ-M, Pentax-M 50mm f/2 – 1/60s, f8, – Kosmo Foto Mono
Developed in Ilford DDX at 1:4, 8 mins at 20°c.
Another roll of film that’s been lurking in a camera since 2018…
I quite like the SMC Pentax-M lenses, not so keen on the MZ-M though… compared to my trusty Olympus OM cameras it feels a bit flimsy, perhaps I should try an ME Super or an MX instead?

Developed in Ilford DDX at 1:4, 8 mins at 20°c.
Another pic from one of my visits to Berwick-upon-Tweed last year.
The buildings on Quay Walls date from the 18th century and are all at least Grade II listed.
The Nikkor 35mm f/2 AI-S lens has become a firm favourite as a slightly wider than standard ‘standard’ lens and I find myself using it more and more…

An image from another roll of film that’s been lurking in a camera since last year…
I paid a couple of visits to Berwick-upon-Tweed last year and it’s a place I could easily spend a lot more time in.
These chimney stacks were photographed during a stroll around the town walls (and before a pint in the fantastic Curfew Micropub!)

Another pinhole pic taken on the fantastic ONDU 6×6 Pocket pinhole camera!
Thurne Mill in Norfolk, dates from 1820 and was built by local millwrights England & Co. to drain the marshes, creating land for farming.
Ronald (Bob) Morse purchased the then derelict mill in 1949 and within 18 months the tower was restored. Bob passed away in 2007 and the mill is now in the care of Debra Nicholson with help from The Friends of Thurne Mill.
I shot a full roll of film here, in less than half an hour… unusual for someone who can have a roll in a camera for up to a year!
The Lion Inn at Thurne is definitely worth a mention too, we had an excellent lunch there and the selection of beers on offer was fantastic!
