Knaresborough - Capturing the details with my holga...

Since experimenting with expired film with my Ricoh (which I need to take out again) I've been dying to try it out in other cameras - last weekend was the perfect opportunity to try it with my wee Helga the Holga.

The fun of taking two cameras around with you all the time is trying to balance what to take photos of - it's easy to take the same picture twice but I think I've finally craked it - one to capture to details, one to capture the 'feel'... The redscale in my superheadz captured the feel of Knaresborough wonderfully and it left me free to capture the details of Knaresborough and to experiment with the focus a little more with my holga.

I'm really beginning to enjoy capturing the details that perhaps others might not see - the beautiful letter box, the battered old signs, the lovely colours in the windows... they take my breath away. And I just love the cat...

Happy weekend!

I'm going to try not to take too many photos, I still have too many to share :)

p.s. G - did you see the name of the road in one of the pictures? You'll like it...

p.p.s. I just noticed that Harry snuck into the last photo, this makes me happy.

Knaresborough Redscale Part 1

One of our favourite things about living in Leeds is that it is so close to so many other amazing places and they are so easy to get to. Whilst our Dad's spent the day at the cricket (also close to our house) we took our Mum's and Harry on the train to Knaresborough - a little market town just a few stops away.

I love Knaresborough, it is easily one of the prettiest places that I have ever been too, we visited last year but this time it was so much more fun with our family and cameras!

As well as being a lovely market town Knaresborough also has ruins of a Castle where you had the most amazing view along River Nidd (hehe) to the beautiful viaduct. It was so easy to stand there and just absorb everything...

p.s. I'm still loving this film/camera combination...
