Day 3 of a working from home plan. I’m guessing this is going on for quite a while. A quick trip to our local supermarket involved standing in a cue to get in and when in, a very quiet almost eerie silence. Scary thing is no evidence of lots of basic essentials (pasta, rice, tinned […]

Working from Home II
So, Boris has locked us down here in the UK and we’re only allowed out for a walk, unless we meet the criteria of essential travel or we’re a key worker off to work somewhere. In fairness, it’s a measure that could be seen coming, however this shitty coronavirus bollocks is really not great for […]

Working from Home
It’s going to be a long, hard road ahead for the next few months. We need to keep things simple, take the advice on offer from government and scientists, stay at home, wash your hands regularly & thoroughly and be kind to each other.

Difficult Times
You can’t help but feel things are going to get a lot worse before they start to get better. Social isolation is the keywords for the day…. wonder how long before all our towns and cities are empty. Shot on my new Fujiflm X-H1 | 23mm f2 | Classic Neg Preset —

This weeks 52 week challenge photo is a free hit, where a topic is not drawn out of the hat, it’s whatever you want to post! Having had a morning at the Historique Rally Event in Banbury yesterday, I decided on this photo – love an old Jaguar and all the chrome that goes with […]
Looking through the listings of a well known selling site shows just what a bargain the Fujifilm X-Pro1 camera has become.

The One’s That Got Away
I have a checkered past with film cameras. Since getting back into film a few years ago now I’ve bought and sold quite a few cameras that looking back I should have kept.

Classic Americana
I always think classic American cars look great when you see them in the UK. Their presence is undiminished and their size always makes them a crowd puller. Easy to see why with this beautiful example of a Dodge isn’t it?!

Car Meet on Kodak Tri-X 400
Had a few frames left at the end of a roll of Tri-X 400 I’d pushed to 1600 in the Leica M6 and as I was off to a car meeting last weekend thought I’d take it along to finish the roll off. I don’t normally shoot cars on black and white film, I leave […]

Lotus Sunbeam
One of my all time favourite cars, the Lotus Talbot Sunbeam was the car of my dreams when I was just a kid and seeing one last year at a meeting at Bicester Heritage transported me back to those days. I should have taken a few more photographs of it or sought out the owner […]

Classic car action with this beautiful Lotus Cortina. It could almost be the 1960’s couldn’t it, particularly somewhere as atmospheric as Shelsley Walsh Hill Climb is.

Honda CRV on Film
Recently picked up a Honda CRV and for comfort it’s hard to beat. It’s also big enough to swallow 5 people and all their luggage and travel pretty much anywhere you need to get to in relative comfort. OK, it’s not for everyone but I’m super impressed and really like the Black Edition styling and […]

Ford Mustang
I really like this Ford Mustang photograph captured at Bicester Heritage sometime last year. The low angle helps to accentuate the aggressive stance of the car and of course, the Ford Mustang is a classic.

Porsche 911
I’m a huge armchair Porsche fan. It’s one of those iconic brands that never fails to excite me and seeing new and old Porsche cars always sets the heart beating just that little faster.
Iconic seems such an under rated word for the VW Beetle, however this particular beauty had the wear and patina to really match it’s age and condition. What a great looking car with such character.

New York 2018 on Film
Last December (2018) we spent a few days in New York. I shot a few frames of Tri-X on my Nikon F3 at 1600ISO. To be honest at the time I was disappointed with the results, but since then having thought more about it, I don’t think I explained to the lab how I had […]
