I love Spring...

This weekend was amazing!!

The sun was shining, so on Saturday we went to Meanwood Valley Urban Farm where we saw lots of adorable lambs and piglets. I love sheep and lambs are my favourite!

Even though I did take my mini (see evidence above...) we also played with our Sony H7 and I will admit - it's growing on me. Though the fuji mini photos are still my favourites from the day... obviously.

We also, had an amazing pub lunch, spent the evening in a beer garden with friends, gots loads of washing done (I love having a garden with a clothes line!) sat out in the garden a lot, bought the prettiest bunch of flowers ever, finally ordered some take away dumplings, caught up with last weeks TV and chilled out... amazing!

The last of my first black and white roll...

I seriously adore this whole roll of film. In fact I can't think of any other time when I've been so happy with a roll of film. I've definitely been converted to black and white film in the diana mini... they just work so well together.

I love the last photo. In fact I love them all, I can't actually believe just how excited I am about them.

I didn't add all of the roll here (though it was tempting but I didn't want to desaturate* my blog with so many photos) but it is on Flickr if you want to see them all together.

*haha, did you see what I did there...

Anyway, its the weekend, hurray and the sun is actually shining here in Leeds, I really hope it lasts! I might even wear a dress tomorrow...

Happy weekend!!

Overexposed Liverpool Architecture

What can I say... I like looking up at buildings... and the buildings in Liverpool were gorgeous! I didn't expect the Ilford XP2 film to be as sensitive as it was, in fact I'm not sure I had even used an ISO 400 film before, so this film has been a bit of a learning curve for me but I must admit, I love these!

Cameras: Diana Mini
Film: Ilford XP2 400
Location: Liverpool, England.

More Bolton Abbey...

The weekend wasn't my first visit to Bolton Abbey this year, last month one of my friends got married close to Bolton Abbey and on the following day a few of us went for a walk.

It was a bit of a gloomy day in comparison to last weekend but I think the photos turned out really well for it - very atmospheric, a bit like I imagine Wuthering Heights to feel...

Tina left a comment yesterday about how lucky I am to be able to visit these places and she's right. I love how close Kirkstall Abbey and Bolton Abbey are to where I live... especially when I get photos like these!

Location: Bolton Abbey, North Yorkshire
Camera: Superheadz Yellow Peace
Film: Kodak ISO 200
