The previous post was the first half of the photos from a morning spent shooting photos for a t-shirt lookbook for Strong Island. In the afternoon of the same day we went out in to the Solent to shoot more photos, hoping to take photos at one of the forts. The sun was roasting hot and the cool spray of seawater was amazing, as was exploring the far side of the fort and a marker buoy out in the middle of the channel water. ]]>

The waves were being thrown against the beach by the inland blowing wind creating flying foam and filling the senses. Little beats experiencing empty beaches. ]]>

The piece I had in mind was more about concept and process that the final image, something I haven't really focused on before. The general theme for the exhibition was Strong Island so I wanted to focus on the circumference of the island with the sea as a natural border and defence plus identify some key locations around it's edge. I've ridden on my bike around the island on many occasions so I formulated a plan where I could, in theory, pack my home film development kit in to my bag, shoot a roll of film whilst cycling the island's edge and then develop the roll of film at the end, on the beach. I also wanted to physically connect the process, the environment and the image so I researched in to how to incorporate seawater in to the development chemical process. I hadn't developed film away from my kitchen sink before and certainly hadn't used seawater so you could say I was taking a bit of a risk when I set off from the end of South Parade Pier last Monday morning. When I returned 4 hours later (I didn't appreciate how much extra time would be required for all the photo stops) I was tired but excited to find out just how things might work out. Find out in part 2!]]>

Wanting to do something specific with this little compact I set off for a walk down by the old military radar testing station on Eastney beach the other day, shooting photos with this camera and my Nikon FE2 to hopefully see how the litte Konica performs. When I got the photos back I was more than a little surprised how well the Pop functioned. I've pulled together 24 photos from the roll as a submission for Your Twenty Four, a regular photo feature on Strong Island where you shoot up to 24 photos in up to 24 hours in Portsmouth, these are the photos. I'll get around to setting up this new blog some day soon, only downside is the finding a home for the ever expanding camera collection. ]]>
