Leica M3 with 90mm f/4 Elmar (from the 1970's) Barrie

River Yealm, South Devon The house in the centre of this photograph down by the waters edge was where my favourite uncle lived for over 40 years, the only ways to access it being by boat across the water or by walking some 2 miles from the nearest tarmac (hardtop) road. I spent many happy hours...

Drink up thee cider Mamiya Press with 90mm f/3.5 Mamiya Sekor at the Devon County Show probably in the early 1970's. The gentleman seated on the left did ask if I was a photographer from a newspaper given the size of the Mamiya, I sent them a print, he offered to pay there and then but given I...

Yet another image from the 1970's, this would have been taken with the Leica M3 using Tri-X. I've been surprised just how many run down areas I found in the city of Plymouth to photograph, perfect for rendering in monochrome. Barrie

Not wishing to leave you in such a desolate place a journey a few miles across some trackless country brings you to a limestone escarpment. Look carefully and in two of these images you'll see the remains of stone walls, so someone perhaps lived here at some time. Petra it's not, but it may have...

I wasn't really sure where to post these images, so here is as good as anywhere although it's not exactly pretty landscape, so not quite your normal run of landscape images. This is a construction camp on a natural gas pipeline in Algeria. When I was there commissioning the gas turbines (far...

Some time in the mid 1970's I spent a morning with some local salmon netters on the tidal section of the River Tamar on the border of Devon and Cornwall. This trade is now prohibited and has been for some years with the fall in the fish population and that ban is due to remain in force for many...

A sad end These four tugs were photographed in the mid 1970's at the scrapyard of Davis and Cann on the River Plym, Plymouth. They were the entire fleet of WJ Reynolds and were perhaps the last fleet of tugs in one company that all had coal fired boilers. The camera used was my much loved...

View west from Birch Tor - Dartmoor One white building can be seen just right of centre in this view taken on Dartmoor. At an elevation of 1425 feet (434 metres) above sea level this is the highest and most isolated inn in southern England, the Warren House Inn. There are scars in the landscape...

Hi Lou, I followed my usual post capture processing, RawTherapee to process the raw file, a minimal amount to get the black and white points established and then maybe a tweaking of lightness or contrast to get a reasonably well spread histogram, forward the image to GIMP where I further check...

Quiet departure Barrie

With the colour version posted in the show lighthouses thread I thought I'd try a monochrome version. I think I like it better. The full moon rises virtually behind Start Point lighthouse as seen from Peartree Point a little after sunset on just three nights a year, once in December, once in...

Both of these were with the Panasonic GF1 with a Voigtlander LTM lens, probably the 15mm, using the GF1 like a miniature view camera was always a relaxing and fun way to get an image. Barrie

Tyres and chains Barrie

As the tanker Bro Deliverer is moored at the oil terminal at Cattedown, Plymouth, the mooring lines are pulled taut by winches on the deck shedding water from the ropes that have been in the water. Note also the chaffing damage to the hull caused by the anchor chain when the ship has been on...
