Lomo lovers film swap... the second set

A couple of weeks ago I posted some photos from the first film that got developed as part of my contribution to the Lomo Lovers film swap.

As I mentioned before, I was partnered with Davide and yesterday he shared the photos from the second roll of film. The film this time 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+.


These photos in particular I exposed at Kirkstall Abbey. I thought that at least one of the films I took should have some photos of there on it and I was really excited to see what Davide would expose over the top and I was not disappointed with the results. I particularly love the coffee sign!

Thank you so much to the Lomo Lovers - Nicola and Sam - for organising this swap...
and thank you, of course, to Davide too!
Hurray for film swaps!!!

Cameras: LC-A+ and La Sardina

Shades of turquoise...

Remember my confession of love for this Agfa film yesterday... well here are more reasons why I really love that turquoise shift and also, another confession of love for my Superheadz camera... I knew it could produce beautiful vignetting, but this film has taken that aspect and really made it special.

Compared to yesterday's photos, for some reason these doubles only seem to show hints of Davide's exposure and my photos of Wells and Harry (who I'm seeing Sunday, woo) are really prominent but I love the subtleness of layering this produces.



One of my favourite things about film is that there are so many options before you even take photos, its easy to stick with camera/film combinations but these photos remind me that I need to try as many different films as I can.

Have a great weekend! 

We're actually going home and to Wells again this weekend, so these photos are pretty fitting.


Camera: Superheads Wide and Slim and LC-A+

Lomo lovers film swap... the first set

Over the past couple of months I've been taking photos as part of the Lomo Lovers film swap.

(which reminds me, I need to do mine again soon right?)

I was partnered with Davide and these photos are from the roll of Agfa CT Precisa 100 (which I cross processed) that Davide originally took in Italy(!) with his LC-A+ and then I doubled with my Superheadz Wide and Slim. What do you think of our results?


Even though some of the shots aren't lined up I still really like them.
I was a bit dubious of green shades with cross processing after using the Lomography Xpro, but this Agfa film has a more turquoise shift rather than green and I love the shades of yellow it produces.
I think I definitely need to buy some more of this film soon.

You can see the whole roll of photos here and also check out the film swap Flickr group here too.

Film: Agfa Precisa CT 100 (Xpro'd)
Cameras: LC-A+ and Superheadz Wide and Slim
Location: Italy(!) and England. Woo.

Paris in Film: Ilford XP2 Part 2

I can't think of a roll of film where I've been so thrilled with the results that I've wanted to share almost every single photo on here - I'm that picky and these cameras are tricksy, sometimes things just don't work out. But the Ilford films I took in Paris are still blowing my mind with how well they turned out.

As with my Holga, I may have got a bit carried away with the double and multiple exposures with my diana mini. I love them so...







Also I took my first ever attempt at a panoramic photo in Paris looking out across the city from the Sacre Couer... and it worked!! Hurray!!

Experimenting with double exposures...

Sometimes I take things too seriously alot, especially taking photos and I tend to avoid double exposures... I always worry that I'll ruin a perfectly good photo by covering it with something rubbish. However I really needed to finish the film off in my Holga - it was in the camera for about 5 months I think - so I decided to play around with it a bit whilst I finished the roll around Leeds. What I didn't realise was that I'd put a 36 exposure film in, not the 24 I thought I was using - so I got more double exposures than I expected. Oops.

Location: Leeds
Camera: Holga 135bc
Film: I think it was a lomography colour negative iso 100.

Double exposure fun in Liverpool

I can't think of anything more fun than double exposures (the writing one was actually four...) in black and white right now.
