Skipping

I’ve always been wary of skip guys and scaffolders since I was attacked by a wrench-wielding scaffolder on Effra Road in Brixton about 20 years ago. The lorry had nearly run me down driving the wrong way up a one way street and I was stupid enough to point this out. Exit pursued by lorry,...

Headless, Armless, Cross

My ongoing project-de-jour at Nunhead Cemetery.
Today I was travelling light with the 55 year old Zeiss Ikon Super Ikonta 532/16 (6×6) with the Opton Tessar f/2.8 80mm lens.
Saturday was a glorious break between the incessant rain and generally crap weather. From a photographic point-of-view the light was somewhat challenging, intensely bright sunlight suddenly disappearing behind...

Dancing on the head of a pin?

Finding out how many angels can dance on the head of a pin is a time-wasting metaphor. It is much more fun counting how many angels I can find in Nunhead Cemetery. And probably takes a similar amount of time too.
It is that time of year. The days are getting shorter and the ”Indian Summer”...

Autumnal

The Virginia Creepers in Greenwich Park are turning deep red (at least I think they are Virginia Creepers).  Obviously I can’t capture this in B&W, but they have structural interest too.
Some of the leaves are an intense green
The park is full of trees getting ready winter and shedding their leaves. There seems to be a...

Statement of the bleeding obvious or what…
Lets debunk a couple of things quickly:
<curmudgeon In one day 15 cms of snow achieved what Hitler and the nazis failed to do in the second world war – bring London to a halt. Outrage! />
<analyst We need to know what what the failures were that prevented people from...

Gaza Protest 17/01/2009 (2)

Categories: Film, Fuji Neopan, Ilford DD-X, Nikkor 80-200/2.8 AFD, Nikon, Politics, Protest, SLR Tags: , No comments

Just got round to developing a roll of Neopan 1600 I’d started using when the light got poor at the Gaza protest on 17/01/2009.
I was expecting fairly crappy results (from the development , not the photos, natch) but Ilford DD-X and Neopan 1600 seems a really good combination considering the potential for grain....

Underground

“Ladies and gentlemen, flash photography is not allowed in any London Underground stations”
Well thats OK then, I’m not using flash… bit of a coincidence though. Hang on…
“Will the gentleman with the camera next to the escalators stop taking photographs. A permit is needed to use a camera”
Everybody’s head turns to look at me. I’m left...
