Nyman's Gardens on Film The final batch of images from my most recent foray into film photography, shot on Ilford HP5 with my Nikon FM2 in March at Nyman's Gardens in Sussex.

Stanmer Park On Film Two rolls of Ilford HP5 from Father Christmas this year, so out of the mothballs came my Nikon FM2 once more. Here are the first usable images, taken during a walk in Stanmer Park in Brighton.

A few of the photographs from a recent two-day break in Suffolk - more on my Flickr page. First a few views from the pier (following the obligatory fish and chip lunch). Click to view full-size.

Bluebells Blasts From the Past  Something a little bit more pastoral for a change - a bluebell wood at Chartwell in Kent.

Wedding Party Blasts From the Past  I originally posted this photographs when my own daughter announced her engagement. So, with talk of weddings then in the air, here is sister Anne's marriage to Martin Woollacott. Colour and black and white conversions of an original Kodak VR 100 negative.    ...and the output directly from the scanner... 

Back to School, June 1981  Blasts From the Past  ...well almost. Here are old school chums, Roger Pickup and Hywel Benjamin, during a visit Hywel and I made to Anglesey in June 1981. Shot on Kodacolor CII probably in Beaumaris.  Here in black and white... Here it is straight from the scanner...

Wilmslow v. Dicky Greenwood's XV, October 1984  Blasts From the Past  Continuing the sibling theme, here's eldest brother, Howard, in October 1984.
