Carr Wood, December 2018
Fujica GW690 – 1/125s, f8, – Ilford Delta 400 Professional rated at ISO 800
Another shot from the first roll through a borrowed Fujica GW690.
Carr Wood has featured on here before (a few times in fact), it may only be a tiny patch of woodland but it’s always a pleasant place for a stroll with a camera…

Fujica GW690 – 1/125s, f8, – Ilford Delta 400 Professional rated at ISO 800
A couple of weeks ago a friend was kind enough to lend me one of his cameras (thanks James!), a Fujica GW690, a fixed-lens rangefinder giving eight 6×9 images on 120 roll film.
So far I’ve managed to shoot a couple of rolls with it and following a delivery from Analogue Wonderland I’m now ready to shoot a few more!

Monochrome Monday… Morston Quay, September 2018
Morston Quay, September 2018
Contax T2 – 1/60s, f8, – O.O.D. Ilford Pan F Plus
This was my first (and so far, only) visit to Morston Quay in Norfolk but I’m planning more… I love the boats and the ramshackle nature of the piers, all set against those big Norfolk skies.

Square Saturday… Crail, October 2018
Crail, October 2018
Seagull 4A – 1/300s, f11 – Ilford HP5 Plus rated at ISO 320
Another shot from my charity shop find Seagull 4A twin-lens reflex camera.
Crail is a delightful harbour town on the Fife coast, famous for its fresh shellfish and its annual food festival.
It was very chilly and rather breezy the day I was there, with only a handful of (well wrapped up) tourists braving the elements…

Monochrome Monday… The Forth Bridge
The Forth Bridge, October 2018
Nikon F3HP, Nikkor 20mm f/2.8 AI-S – 1/125s, f16, – Agfa APX 400 rated at ISO 320
The iconic Forth Bridge photographed from North Queensferry a few weeks ago. The rail wheels on the shore provide interesting (if somewhat worrying) foreground interest.
On this particular day I photographed the bridge from both North and South Queensferry and I really do think that I could photograph it month in and month out and never become bored with it…

Single frame… Culross Pier
Culross Pier
Fujifilm X-T1, Fujinon XF 18-135mm f3.5~5.6 R LM OIS WR at 31mm, 1/90s, f16, ISO 400
Culross has one of the oldest harbours in Scotland and was a busy port in the 16th and 17th centuries trading coal and salt with the Netherlands, Belgium, Germany and Denmark.
Since the 1930s the National Trust for Scotland have been working on preserving and restoring its many unique historical buildings.
The pier was neglected for many years but thanks to the efforts of determined locals its restoration is now complete.
The Hopper Dredger UKD Orca can also be seen in the distance.
