Knaresborough Details

More lovely details from Knaresborough taken with the expired ISO 800 film shared in the last post. Again I wasn’t so sure about the grain at first but it really has grown on me and I know some people really do love it. I do however love the content and the details that cuaght my eye - especially the light in the 3rd photo of the little alleyway.

Inside the Bowes Museum

If you live in the UK - you may be aware that Barnard Castle has been in the news recently due to its now unfavourable association with politicial strategists and their eyesight. What you may not know is that just five minutes down the road from Barnard Castle, is a rather stunning building called The Bowes Museum.

The Bowes Museum is a purpose built museum of art, fashion and design founded by John and Joséphine Bowes in the 1800’s filled with treasures of all kinds and I have to say that I was blown away by it. Not only was the building and the gardens stunning, but the collections themselves were also fascinating.

I used a very old 800 ISO film for these which is why they have such a delicious grain appearance. I don’t usually prefer this much grain but once I got my head round the fact that this was what the roll was going to look like, I became quite fond of the results.

Our Christmas tree...

These photos are actually from last year but our tree always looks pretty much the same if I'm honest (you can see photos from last year here) I'm a stickler for tradition at Christmas. Although we do have my parents fancy, flashy LED lights on the tree after I accidentally stole them earlier this year. (Thanks Dad and Mum, oops).

I took these last year with my Holga 135bc as I knew I needed to finish the film off. I didn't expect them to work to be honest, so the fact that I got some fun (if a bit silly) results always makes me smile. Sometimes I take things way to seriously so these were a nice reminder to enjoy myself, to stop comparing myself to other people and to enjoy the process, even if I am waving a camera around in front of a christmas tree haha.
