St George's Market Belfast

I didn't get a chance to take many photos in Belfast as we were mostly doing wedding things with our friends and helping out where we could but I am really pleased with the ones I managed to take.

Our first stop when we landed was breakfast - so we did a bit of research and saw that the Bar and Grill at St George's Market had amazing reviews for their award winning breakfast. We were not disappointed! You can see my breakfast here - and boy was it SO good! I've loved potato bread since Clare first introduced it to me (thanks Clare) and having it pretty much everyday whilst we were there was amazing! Also the views across the market were pretty awesome whist we were eating as well.

Belfast in Black and White... Part 2.

As well as exploring the city of Belfast, we also looked around the murals and learnt more about the area where one of my friends grew up. I spent most of my childhood living in the middle of no where, so I was intrigued by the contrasts of her city youth, as well as the history of The Troubles and what it was like to grow up during that time.

{a rainbow in black and white, I was intrigued to see if it would be gradient, can you just see it?} 

 We were also incredibly lucky to stay with my friends family and I have to say that they were just wonderful, the weekend was just what I needed, lots of laughing, chatting and wine.

Belfast in black and white...

I did something brave - I used the Ilford XP2 film in a camera that wasn't my Diana Mini... what do you think?

After looking at these quite a lot, I think that I like them... I'm still not 100% sold on the La Sardina, the fuzzy edges are really fuzzy, but I think it took to the Ilford (or vice versa) really well and these photos do capture the feeling of the city whilst we were there pretty well (it rained lol).

I am quite taken with the photos that are taken close up though - the face and the fish in particular, I think I need to use it for close ups more...
