I took a day off work last week and did the first bit of film photography I’ve done in a couple of months or more.

Across a muddy field
I don’t think I’m back up to daily posting yet, but here’s an odd shot just to stop the blog going too dry.

Dandelion
I’m still not on track for posting much I’m afraid. Not sure when I’ll get back to daily posts, but I’ll try to update as often as I can though.

Still standing
A partial tree still stands in the centre of the plantation.

A bit Leica like a
This is a Fed 1 rangefinder that I was given a few months back. It’s a copy of the Leica II. I’m not sure if this one works properly – the shutter seems to fire, but I can’t alter the aperture.

Pubs in decline
Pubs are an industry in decline. Many (away from town centres, at least) are either closed, struggling, or transformed into family pub-restaurants. There are still loads of pubs about, so they aren’t on their last-legs just yet, but it’s a common sight to see one boarded up these days, sadly.

Catching the sunlight
This small, seemingly abandoned (or at least in need of some repairs) building is located in Eckington, a few miles from my home. I’ve glanced at it on several occasions as a potential photo subject, but on the day I took this it was sat in brilliant sunlight, so I stopped the car and took the shot.

Winter field
This was taken back in January on a walk where I wish I’d worn some Wellies – although the ground looks crisp and frozen, the snow was in melt and my feet were sinking up to the ankles in places.

Outside Santander
I spotted this chap waiting at the edge of the market square, stood in some warm light from the low-ish sun and with some nice shadows cast on the building from a nearby tree. Again, I’m really pleased with the colours from this film.

Alfresco refreshments
I shot a roll of Lomography Color Negative 400 for the first time this week. I wasn’t sure what to expect, but the results are very nice, with pleasing colour, and I’m very happy with it (especially as it only cost £10 for three rolls). I used a full roll wandering around the flea market taking photos of life around the place. The light was nice and I got several pictures I’ve very happy with, but here’s a shot of people enjoying a tea break amongst the market stalls.
