Pink and blue...

After all the rain and dullness over the past two weeks (I guess the weather didn't get my message about sunshine...) these photos make me so incredibly happy.



I hope they've made your day a bit happier too!

Have a great weekend.

p.s. Thomas and I have a guest to entertain this weekend, we're taking her to the beach.
It will more than likely rain but at least she's getting a real English beach experience haha.

Seeing Harry tomorrow...

Hurray! And today I'm going to the beach!

Words and Pictures...

I can't get over the colours from this film... swoon!

Let's kick the August Break off with something exciting...

Crossprocessed film! I've always wanted to try it - but I was honestly a bit scared, it seemed so advanced for me but then I used some Lomography slide film in my borrowed LC-A in Manchester and I was sold - the colours, the contrasts, the extremes... I love it!


{note- I have no idea who they are, I just thought it looked good}



I'm in love with the colours and I couldn't be more happier with these photos taken at the Yorkshire Sculpture Park last month. I've also really enjoyed taking my holga out more this year too. We've missed each other.

More Manchester LCA photos...

The more I look at these photos, the sadder I get that the LC-A I used was just a loaner camera and that I had to give it back...

I wasn't sure what I was expecting from this camera but when I first saw the photos I was a little underwhelmed by them: it's easy to get caught up in the hype of something and I wonder if perhaps I was expecting a little too much from it.



However looking at the photos again, more and more details start to pop out that I wouldn't expect to see from my other Lomography cameras and I'm still so impressed by the colours, the contrast balance and delicacy it has with its multiple exposures.

The LC-A has an understated excellence to it and I can imagine with more use I would learn more about its individual charms and I can start to see why people love this camera so much. This camera is definitely going on my christmas list! (and I'm pretty sure it will be worth the rather hefty price tag too).

You can see the entire film of photos here.

My Lomo Roadshow Photos Part 1

First, I need to get this out of my system.
Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee.
There are LC-A photos on my blog. LC-A baby!

Ok, I'm done, but seriously... LC-A. Finally.
I'm going to have to get me one of those one day...
Everything about it was pretty amazing - it sounded great, it was so sturdy yet compact and I really enjoyed using it. I'm also really happy with how the photos turned out.


{the Lomo Mum's and I, such lovely ladies.
and I love the they are taking photos too!}



At first, I found it quite intimidating taking photos in a large group especially as I was using a camera and film I hadn't used before, so I took it as an opportunity to take photos differently from how I usually do too. I focused on the people around me, watching them take photos and taking photos of them, I don't usually do that.



Everytime I try a new film at the moment I seem to be completely overwhelmed by them and the Lomography Xpro Chrome is no exception, I can't get over the richness of the tones and the beautiful contrast, I didn't even tweak any of these photos. I can't wait to use it more.

Location: Manchester, England.
Camera: LC-A+ (yeay! loaned to me by Lomography for the afternoon)
