photograph of Minehead beach, Somerset, UK

Welcome to Simon Long Images

Independent documentary photographer based in West Sussex, UK. My aim is to document life around me; whether that be family, my surroundings or the places that I go.

To create my imagery, I use both digital and film mediums. My interest in film photography was revived in 2019, having not used film for almost 15 years. I am so pleased that this form of photography still exists and I find the process of taking photographs on film truly captivating.

The purpose of this site is to show case some of my work and to document my photography journey.

I think my Z115 might have some light leaks, either that or my scanning technique needs some adjustments 🧐.

Although my Canon Sureshot is a capable little camera and fun to use. This and my previous post remind me of its limitations. The lack of ability to override exposure means that it’s more difficult to expose for shadow areas which can lead to some disappointing results.

It’s definitely a camera for when there is plenty of ambient light.

This is a Thames riverside terrace, near to Teddington lock.

Closed at the time the photo was taken due to lockdown restrictions but I did like how the light was falling on the canopy. I don’t recall doing anything special in the taking of the photo but I think the exposure is just about right, which in such a high contrast situation, is a testament to the accuracy of the meter in the #nikonf6 .

A nice Airstream.

Always nice to see these things - even if they have been modified to sell coffee and cake, which is usually the case here in the UK.

I guess that means coffee and cake must be bought from them!

Bedham Old Church.

The last of the photos I took. This one shows just how dilapidated the building is. If you look carefully, you can just see the prop holding up the end wall of the building.

Bedham Old Church.

This derelict church was actually a school that was built by landowners and the Church of England to educate local children in the hamlet of Bedham.

Situated in the Sussex countryside, this old building has been derelict for several decades and now looks to be quite unsafe. In yesterday’s post you could see the ‘keep out’ sign. I decided to do exactly that since what was the tower was propped up by a piece of timber. Nevertheless, it was fascinating to see and grab a few photos.

Latest acquisition.

I’ve wanted an all mechanical, all manual, no light meter camera for a while. Having sold some other cameras, lenses and bits and pieces, I picked up this Nikon F2 with the DE-1 head.

Excited to get out with it at the weekend. Time to brush up on my Sunny 16 skills.

Strange to think that I was just over 3 years old when this very camera rolled off the production line. I would be fascinated to know what life it has seen. 🧐
