Burnham Overy Staithe

Lets keep going on the ‘photos I totally forgot to post’ train - the next stop is Norfolk and specifically, Burnham Ovary. Of course, now I’m feeling slightly homesick but also totally bamboozeled that I haven’t shared these before - because I simply love them!

When I was younger, I couldn’t wait to get out of Norfolk as fast as I could… can you believe that looking at these photos?! I can’t really either. But then I didn’t grow up in Burham Ovary haha, or any of the Burnhams. That would have been a very different experince I think. As I’ve gotten older, my appreciation for the beauty of Norfolk has definitely grown, and it was only in leaving the county that I really appreciated that even though places may seem similar, there really isn’t anywhere quite the same.

Around Scarborough

Confession: Even though we did go to Scarborough for a visit this year, these photos are over two years old now. I am perpetually playing catch up with photos on this blog. These photos are again from the batch I developed myself and have the signs to show it but I still love them. Scarborough is so iconic that even some bubbles and streaks couldn’t dampen my enthusiasm for it.

These photos were taken with Silberra U200 film in my quest to find a black and white film to love as much as I loved Kodak’s BW400CN film. I feel like the type of black and white film I want now is perhaps different to how it was before. I like the softness and subtle contrasts of these photos a lot and I look forward to trying more Silberra films.

Beningbrough Hall Garden

I’ve shared photos of Beningbrough Halls Gardens before and every time we visit I get a bit giddy because it is exactly the time of thing I love photographing. Old green houses - check, flowers - check, gorgeous textures that make the happy synapses in my brain ping - check!

These photos are from the rolls of film that I developed myself and its probably taken me this long (over a year yikes) to get over the frustration of these images not being completely perfect. I love the grain but the water stains and the marks I still find incredibly frustrating because I know they are due to my own mistakes rather than it being something out of my control.

Maybe I owe Beningbrough Hall another visit to try again so I can get it right ha.
