Stratford Upon Avon Part 3

I still can't believe that my little fling with black and white film in my diana mini has developed into a full blown love affair... I'm so happy with how the film and camera work together that I don't even want to try it in another camera. This combination has Paris written all over it, don't you think? I'm going to need so many films for when we go!

Amazingly I still have some more posts about Stratford Upon Avon up my sleeve but these are the only black and white photos that I took there, I got a bit carried away with the yashica to be honest, it makes the best sounds.

However, even though they are so different from the yashica photos, they capture the atmosphere and the sunshine just as well just differently, I love it.

Location: Stratford Upon Avon
Camera: Diana Mini
Film: Ilford XP2 iso 400

Labels: diana mini, ilford xp2, stratford

You've just made me cave in to buying a few rolls of that film. I'm going to be visiting Paris next month and I'm definitely going to be bringing many rolls along and loading my Diana Mini with it! I can't wait to try it out :); 12 May 2011 at 12:40
