Feeling alive in Malham...

I mentioned yesterday that the time I felt most alive this year was on the top of Malham Cove and I realised I had only shared about half of the photos in the first post I wrote about it.

Looking up...

Looking down...

Feeling alive!

Holgas from Malham...

Can you believe that other than Kay's wedding this was the first time I have taken Helga the Holga out to play this year? I feel so bad... I think I need to set up a camera rotation system...

We were so incredibly lucky to go to Malham on a gorgeous day (which is rare, the rain here today is awful!) so pretty much all of the photos turned out lovely, I always forget how much Holga's like the sunshine.

When fuji instax mini's go wrong...

On Saturday we went to Malham, the weather was gorgeous, we took a picnic, sat by waterfalls and everything was good.

Until my fuji instax didn't work - cue complete panic...

After opening the back of the film I realised that one of the photos had a small nick in it (can you see in on the top left?) which meant the photo couldn't pass through the rollers, so I had to pull it through resulting in the yellow fuji. The other photo didn't even make it through the rollers (I don't remember why) but I did have fun pushing the chemicals up and around the photo - you can even make out a partial thumb print on it - how cool is that?!

As a result the next two pictures came out with light exposure on them, however you can still make out the pretty waterfall.

In fact I kind of like them...

I really love the two that turned out properly though - especially my little holga - I put her down for a second and though she looked so lovely that I had to take a photo!
