Experimenting with double exposures...

Sometimes I take things too seriously alot, especially taking photos and I tend to avoid double exposures... I always worry that I'll ruin a perfectly good photo by covering it with something rubbish. However I really needed to finish the film off in my Holga - it was in the camera for about 5 months I think - so I decided to play around with it a bit whilst I finished the roll around Leeds. What I didn't realise was that I'd put a 36 exposure film in, not the 24 I thought I was using - so I got more double exposures than I expected. Oops.

Location: Leeds
Camera: Holga 135bc
Film: I think it was a lomography colour negative iso 100.

More Stratford and Shakespeare photos...

After all the excitement from yesterday, I'm back to blogging photos from April. I don't mind though, in fact I'm still feeling quite taken with Stratford Upon Avon and our little trip away for the week.

These photos were taken in the Gower Memorial just off the Canal. I'm particularly fond of these statues as the first time that I visited Stratford Upon Avon with my family we took lots of silly posing photos which is definitely one of my fondess memories from that little holiday.

Thank you to everyone who has joined the photo swap yesterday, I got 43 entries in the first day which is pretty amazing!!

The last Manchester Lomoroadshow photos...

As well as using the borrowed LC-A, I also took my little superheadz camera with me to Manchester (the camera wasn't Lomo but the film was, so its fine...) I am still loving the combination of camera and film together and I think it's caught the different atmosphere that Manchester (north, gritty) has compared to Minehead (south, not so gritty - simply put lol) very well.

Happy weekend!

I'm going to a wedding tomorrow and I have something exciting planned for next week already, so I think its going to be a pretty amazing few days :)

Location: Manchester, England
Camera: Superheadz Yellow Peace
Film: Lomgraphy Redscale XR 50-200

More Manchester LCA photos...

The more I look at these photos, the sadder I get that the LC-A I used was just a loaner camera and that I had to give it back...I wasn't sure what I was expecting from this camera but when I first saw the photos I was a little underwhelmed by them: it's easy to get caught up in the hype of something and I wonder if perhaps I was expecting a little too much from it.

However looking at the photos again, more and more details start to pop out that I wouldn't expect to see from my other Lomography cameras and I'm still so impressed by the colours, the contrast balance and delicacy it has with its multiple exposures.

The LC-A has an understated excellence to it and I can imagine with more use I would learn more about its individual charms and I can start to see why people love this camera so much. This camera is definitely going on my christmas list! (and I'm pretty sure it will be worth the rather hefty price tag too).

You can see the entire film of photos here.
