I'm Martin, a amateur photographer from England that likes to shoot street photography, landscapes, seascapes and odd image of dogs.
Queenborough, England. 2026
Found this Morris Cowley in a back alley in Queenborough. No doubt someone’s pride and joy at one time, now slowly rusting away.

Sheerness, England. 2022
Must stop looking around the internet at photographic equipment!
I found a rare Lomography Jupiter 3+ 50mm f/1.5 Art Lens which was a updated version of the 50mm f/1.5 Jupiter 3 lens which was a Zeiss Sonnar copy. I say rare, as it turns out KMZ Zenit and Lomography only produced 500 units in 2016 and mine is serial number 000495. Very well made and solid feeling lens, although somewhat lighter than the Summilux 50mm (my main bugbear with that Leica lens is being so heavy!) and it’s a joy to use. This lens is a M39 thread mount and comes M mount adapter in the box. Very smooth focusing, step less aperture but does come the typical Russian filter size of 40.5mm.
My example was in mint condition, for £340 ~ $383, complete as the image above.
This shot was taken on Fomapan 100 Classic film wide open at f/1.5 on my Leica MP with a KMZ yellow filter.
Street photography is a little thin on the ground until I spotted this little fellow waiting for a family member to return from a corner shop. Great images come to those who are patient.
Taken on my Leica M3, Summicron 50mm f/2 and shot on Fomapan 100 @ 800 ISO using sunny sixteen.
I took this scene of the seawall in Marine Parade, Sheerness England last year, a little symmetry broken nicely with one line down the shadow of the car.
