I was driving home after a trip into the Peak District at the weekend and decided to take a road I’d never driven before. I was pretty certain I knew roughly where it would take me – the compass in my head is generally faily accurate – but travelling new routes can be a great way to find new and interesting photo opportunities, and this was such an occasion.
After driving a few miles the road dropped down into a village and, for a brief second, I saw two houses with well tended gardens bathed in some lovely light. I drove on for a minute making a mental note to come back another time to get the shot, but then thought of the gorgeous light I’d seen and wondered what my chances would be of it looking the same the next time I came by? So I stopped the car at the first opportunity, did a U-turn, and drove back to the place I’d seen.
I’ve ended up with quite a nice photo of two well kept houses. Not sure about the bin that’s stood outside one of them, but it might’ve looked strange if I’d wheeled it out of shot. 😉
I have to say that I’m very pleased with the way the Lomography Color Negative 400 has rendered the colours. I may have to invest in some more rolls of this. Apparently, according to this Emulsive.org article, it’s rumoured to be re-badged Kodacolor VR400.

Your exposure is always spot on, even with a P&S where you have no control. It’s remarkable!

If only that were the case. 🙂
Most of them come out pretty on the mark, but that’s mostly down to the camera’s metering being accurate and the fact that I usually shoot film that has a decent amount of latitude rather than anything special I’m doing I think. I’ve had a few occasions where I’ve ended up with a strip of disappointingly thin negatives though, even on cameras with trustworthy meters, so I certainly manage to mess it up from time to time. 🙂
