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.

Purple rain...

You can't see the rain really in these photos, but it was raining at the time honest...

Also, there are worse songs to be reminded of when looking at photos right?

This week has kind of sucked so far... work had been kicking my butt, I've finally got my site looking how I want to, but the RSS feed is suffering because of it but I don't want to change it all now that it finally looks right, I just want to somehow make the RSS feed ignore the coding, or replace it somehow? Is that even possible?! I have no idea.

 is pretty much how I'm feeling right now and I think the purple stormy skies from the tungsten film  reflect that pretty well.

Redscale bunting...

There wasn't as much bunting in Scarborough compared to Knaresborough but I still couldn't help taking photos of it when I saw it and this redscale XR film with my LC-A is currently my most favourite thing!

I'll apologise now if I've been a bit scarce in the blogging community this week - I've been extremely distracted creating a new home for my blog (its bigger, better and quite frankly, awesome!) which I'm hoping to share soon... mainly because I might burst with excitement if I don't share it soon haha. Anyway, I hope all is well with you all - I'll try and catch up soon.

 Have a great weekend!

One spot, two films...

Now that I have a working LC-A, I've been making up for lost time and over our holiday week I took 4 films and they all worked, woohoo!! Exciting, I know.

As I was using two different films in the same camera, I wasn't too worried about perhaps taking the same photos twice as I knew that they wouldn't look the same even if they were similar and now that I'm looking at the results, I'm really glad that I didn't worry as it's great to see the comparisons.


The first photo was taken with Lomography Redscale XR and I'm so glad that I've finally used that film with my LC-A, it did not disappoint and the second photo is with Lomography Tungsten film which I was also looking forward to trying out.

It doesn't hurt that this view is one of my favourites in Scarborough but I don't think I could pick between the two...

Overexposed in Scarborough...

It is so sunny in England at the moment - I'm mostly confused by this if I'm honest, but glad too - we had our first meal in our garden last night and I've been wearing skirts  and dresses (yup, me, Frocktober seems to have banished any previous worries I had about baring my legs lol) and generally enjoying the warmth and sun. I really, really hope it lasts over the weekend, or me and the weather are going to be having issues.

Anyway, with all the sunshine, it seemed right to share a bit of the winter sunshine we had in Scarborough last month... I frequently manage to over expose this film normally by accidently having it on the bulb setting but this time the overexposure is caused by having to open the back and give the film a little nudge to do as its told (the diana mini is famous for its winding on issues...) however, I actually quite like these results. It really was very bright that day and these photos definitely show that.

This last one isn't really that overexposed in comparison to the others, but it fits well with them. I really loved seeing the snow on the castle, so I took a few photos of it.

The sunshine this week is really making me look forward to going back to Scarborough in the Summer, it doesn't seem that long since I took my holga for its first ever visit there but I guess it has been a while since then now, lets hope its as sunny.
