Harrogate in the sunshine...

Even though these were taken last month, the sun is shining today in Yorkshire, so I thought I would share the sunshine further. Compared to Knaresborough the Jubilee celebrations in Harrogate were quite subtle, I did have fun trying to spot them and take photos of them though.

This past weekend...

Was relaxing, hurray! 

I finally got my hair cut short, bought some more wool and consequently finished my first ever set of crochet granny squares (I'm hooked, ha), I even started connecting them together too, its awesome.

I also finally found clothing with birds on (it's a cute skirt and it was in a charity shop!) and I took my new double dip plastic camera by James Butler out for a spin and met a new cat friend in the process.

Hurray for relaxing weekends! 

p.s. If you're interested in learning crochet (I only started a couple of weeks ago) this post by Alycia is a great starting point, it gave me the kick up the butt I needed to actually make something rather than talk about it, thanks Alycia!!

p.p.s. Nanna, I might take you up on those knitting lessons now :)

You can call me...

An author!
Woohoo!

 

There I am, I added the arrows so you didn't miss it.

(it's on Amazon so its official!)

{An excerpt from the book in the latest Gadchick Magazine, the book has reviews of all new apps.}

So what did I write?

I wrote a guide book for one of my favourite online magazines, Gadchick,
for Android phone photographers.

Even though I predominantly use my film cameras, I ALWAYS have my phone with me and I love using it for spur of the moment photos along side my film cameras or in situations where film isn't really practical. As well as tips for better android photography, I tested 30 different camera apps and included my thoughts on each which was actually a great process for me as I learnt to appreciate my little phone for so much more than its calling/texting abilities and to embrace digital photography as a different way to express myself.

You can now buy your own copy from Amazon for your Android or Kindle so if you have an Android phone please check it out, and if you do get it, let me know what you think!

The last of the Scarborough redscale photos...

These photos are cheering me up today as it is now under two months until our holiday in Whitby and I think Whitby is going to be the perfect location to use more of this redscale XR film in my LC-A. I'm already planning all the other films and cameras I want to take too!


You can see the whole set of photos from this film here.

Camera: Refurb LC-A

So here I am.

{click on each photo to go to my Flickr for more details}

I probably should do a post right..? Though I don't really know what to write today, I just know I want to be here, so here I am and here are some photos. I've tried writing this post a number of times but it's all been a bit too much and in the end I picked some of my recent favourite photos and went with those instead... sometimes I worry that I'm hiding behind my photos but they always seem to say so much more than I could ever write, so here I am. I think I've been here the whole time. Perhaps you can read them. Perhaps you can even hear me and what I'm trying to say. I like the idea that maybe you see more of me than I ever do through them.

Lomo lovers film swap... the second set. Part 2

Last month I posted the first of the second set of photos from my contribution to the Lomo Lovers film swap.

As I mentioned before, I was partnered with Davide. The second film was Kodak Elitechrome 100 (which Davide cross processed) that I orginally exposed with my La Sardina and sent to Davide in Italy(!) which he then put through his LC-A+.

I was particularly excited about these photos from the set as I took my layer of the image in Bradford (on a fun curry night out with Lomo friends, you can see Adam's action shot of me here lol) and I experimented with the bulb setting on my La Sardina camera at the Bradford City Park fountains.

Hurray for film swaps!!!

Film swap partner: Davide
Cameras: LC-A+ and La Sardina

Lately* on Instagram

*As in within the last two months, haha! I'll be organised with it one day I'm sure...

Lately...

 

... I've organised all my negatives and photos. That box is three years of film photos, all labeled, though I do keep finding more around the house still.

... we went to see the Olympic Torch just 5 minutes away from our house.

... I've spotted lots of pretty flowers.

...I've become obsessed with finding green doors...

... developed a love of feet and tile photos.

...made new horse friends...

...enjoyed looking up around Leeds (and taken part in the #lookupleeds tag)...

...been amused by misspelt names, we got mine right eventually but Thomas's is missing the H ...

... hung pretty things up in our house...

I've averaged 90 photos a month since I got Instagram, crazy.
You can see more of my Instagram photos here.
