What remains

I hadn’t been to Dungeness for some years now and was quite shocked at how much of the old fishing boats and equipment has been destroyed by vandals. Many of the old wooden boats and shacks have been burnt down which is a real shame. A popular spot with photographers and film makers alike, the area no longer holds a charm like it once did.

I last took a picture of the old fishing boat in 2018 which you can see here.

Taken on Ilford FP4 Type-517 100 35mm Cine film from Analogue Cameras and shot using my Kiev 4, KMZ Jupiter 8-M 50mm f/2 lens and a KMZ yellow filter. Larger image can be seen here.

Киев 4

The exposure was made using the Kiev camera own selenium exposure meter which to my surprise is still registering the same as my Weston Euro Master light meter.

Cowley

Found this Morris Cowley in a back alley in Queenborough. No doubt someone’s pride and joy at one time, now slowly rusting away.

Still waiting

Still waiting

While on my usual dog walk, I found this child’s cuddly toy on the ground. Picking it up I popped him on a bench, hoping the owner would maybe come back. Following morning, the bear was still on the bench patiently waiting for someone to return. Staring out to sea with the morning sun, I had to take a picture.

Broken reflection

Broken reflection

I took this shot mainly because I was taken how the reflection was braking with the movement of the water.

Don’t think I’ve ever used my Jupiter -8 50mm lens on the Leica before. I still think despite the Lomography Jupiter 3+ 50mm f/1.5 being faster, personally I feel the Jupiter -8 is a better all rounder. If you ever use one of these lenses, I’ve found for landscape photography they are best shot at f/11 using hyperfocal distance. Apertures f/16 to f/22 for landscape and you will find the detail in the images will look soft. Wide open, I can’t fault either of the Jupiter lenses.

Delivery

Around 07:30 in the morning and this convenience corner shop hadn’t opened. I’m amazed no one had not helped themselves! Still, being quite a cold morning at least the milk was chilled.
