Belfast in black and white...

I did something brave - I used the Ilford XP2 film in a camera that wasn't my Diana Mini... what do you think?

After looking at these quite a lot, I think that I like them... I'm still not 100% sold on the La Sardina, the fuzzy edges are really fuzzy, but I think it took to the Ilford (or vice versa) really well and these photos do capture the feeling of the city whilst we were there pretty well (it rained lol).

I am quite taken with the photos that are taken close up though - the face and the fish in particular, I think I need to use it for close ups more...

Camera: La Sardina Sea Pride
Film: Ilford XP2
Location: Belfast, Northern Ireland

Labels: belfast, ilford xp2, Sardina

Unknown said...: ooooh these turned out beautiful, you've definitely inspired me to try black and white film in more lomo cameras (so far i've only stuck it in the mini).... i have a fake holga that i reckon would do a spiffy job. and i agree - that fish close up is great, love how blurry the rear of the fish is in comparison to the front. xoxo
