I’ve been wanting to visit Dungeness for years. It’s not the easiest place to reach without a car, but I finally made the journey by train and taxi this year. It’s every bit as desolote and odd as I had hoped. Home to an ancient nuclear power station well past its decommision date; a Victorian light house; a pebble beach classified as the UK’s only desert; a passenger-carrying minature steam railway and a variety of crumbling fishing boats and other detritus of a working coastal area. There’s also a couple of pretty decent pubs right on the beach…one at each end which is handy after a day’s shooting. The Pilot does half decent fish and chips too.

I used a combination of Rollei Infrared with a black filter rated at 12 asa and Ilford Delta 100 with and without a red filter. Prints are on Ilford RC V and selenium toned. I wasn’t happy with my first set of prints so I ran another set with a heavier burn on the sky and a pretty heavy vignette. Probably not to everyone’s taste, but I much prefer these versions and feel they suit the place to a tee. I’ll definitely be back.
