Conflicted and overexposed...

I'm having a love/hate relationship with the second half of photos from my last roll of ilford xp2.

On the one hand I am so disappointed with myself for not checking one of the fundamental switches on my diana mini (N not B, N not B) which means they are blurry and so overexposed... and the gardens at Harlow Carr were so pretty I was looking forward to sharing some lovely photos.

Yet on the other, I like the tones of the overexposure and the extreme grainyness of these photos - its almost like they've been painted with light...

What do you think? I'm completely torn over them...

Love is in the air...

I'm at an age where a lot of my friends are getting married and honestly, I don't mind... I love attending weddings, even if I am the one sniffling to myself throughout the ceremony and speeches.

Last month I took my Diana Mini with my favourite Ilford XP2 film along to one of my university friend's amazing wedding and I'm in love with the results!

Everything about the entire wedding was beautiful and if anything I'm a little bit sad I didn't take more photos but I'm still very happy with the ones I did take.

Meanwood Urban Farm...

It seems a little silly that I'm posting these now as our visit was over two months ago... but here we are.

I'm beginning to think that this day of sunshine (in April remember!) may have been the best weather that we've had this year which is hugely despressing. Summer has definitely not come to England and honestly its starting to bring me down a little. I'm fed up of wearing my coat and worrying about whether my feet will get wet everyday.

Looking at these little lambs faces is cheering me up though...

I'm also a fan of the lone sheep and the rabbits.

p.s. lack of sun = no photo taking = grumpy Rhianne.
