Fireworks and Sparklers!!

I'm normally very wary of the blub switch on my cameras - it usually causes frustrating results that feel like I've wasted the film. 

However, after reading Lomo Lovers Vol 4, I decided that Bonfire night was the perfect reason to experiment with it more, especially in taking photos of the fireworks and sparklers!

Aren't they amazing?! I LOVE fireworks, so the whole thing was far too much fun for me!

I did originally plan to double expose the roll as in the Lomo Lover's guide but I was impatient to get it developed, so I didn't. Next year I think I will though now that I know the blub setting works wonderfully with the fireworks. I'm excited about it already.

More walking to work...

I actually can't remember the last time that I had to finish off so many rolls of film on my way to work - I didn't realise that I had taken so many photos recently but I must have done... hurray!

These first two were taken with my refurbished LC-A and kodak 200 film, I love the definition...

 But, the following photos were taken with my holga 135bc using Lomography's CN 800 film

... can you believe those colours?! I'm blown away!

It's funny as before Photo Meditations I used to be quite reluctant of taking photos of the same thing but now I could take photos on my walk to work everyday if I'm honest, it's mostly the one time of the day where I'm completely on my own and although its only 10 minutes tops, its just what I need to start my day, especially if I have a camera with me and the sky looks like these!

Leeds Lomo Meet Up - My photos...

Last week I finally treated myself to something I've been waiting to get for years! An LC-A!!!!!

Unlike the one that I used in Manchester which was the Lomography LC-A+, I ordered the refurbished LC-A as it was a fair bit cheaper which also meant that I could get the Lomokino too, hurray!!

Side note - the majority of this was bought with Lomography piggie points, if you have a lomo/film camera and you enjoy writing, I highly recommend writing some articles and getting those piggies, it takes a while, I had to write about 20 articles to save enough, but it's possible and fun at the same time.

I decided that the Leeds Lomography Xmas Meet Up was the perfect place to try my newest camera and also to try and take more photos of people... it was a mixed result as I was a bit too experimental with the aperture but overall I love the results with this camera already!

{I completely forgot to ask what this camera actually was, its beautiful though!}

 Happy weekend!!
