Whitby Double Dips...

I mentioned yesterday that I was hugely excited about this camera, and although I loved the results from the single exposures (the colours!!) this is where all the excitement really is - in the double exposures.

I've always enjoyed multiple exposures but I'm reluctant to do them too often, I guess because I don't want to lose that first exposure and often I just don't make the time to take them. However, having a dedicated camera for doubles was liberating and so much fun.

I really love these results. Really really. I think sometimes I take my cameras too seriously, and most of the time I'm happy with that, but sometimes you need to kick back, mess around, play with the light a little and have fun. And that's what I did with this camera and I really love it for that.

I think next time I'll try and shake it up a bit, I really love the splitzer look and as my LC-A is a refurbished one rather than the plus I can't get the Lomography attachment to do that so I may have gone a bit overboard with that look here but in the name of having fun and being a bit more abstract (perhaps) I think it was totally worth it.

p.s. The lovely Dawn from Candidly Clyde included me in her list of 'ten photo blogs you should be following'. If you love photo blogs then you will love this list, I even found some new favourites too.

Whitby Abbey Double Dips

I have a soft spot for ruined buildings... and Whitby Abbey didn't disappoint in terms of photographic potential. In fact I have more photos of the abbey with three other cameras and films, which I'm looking forward to sharing at some point but I knew I had to share these first from my Double Dip as I find them so exciting.

 How gorgeous and saturated are those colours, I can't get over them, especially as it wasn't that sunny a day and it's a colour negative film, not a cross processed slide film - though it is iso 400 which I think definitely helped to get these results.

I realise that I am probably the only person excited about these, but I may have already found the film that suits this camera and I always love that feeling, that click where it just feels right, its almost like I can imagine all the future photos I'll take with that camera and film, as they are perfect for each other...  In fact, I think I'm more excited about this cheap, home modified, small, plastic, unassuming camera and its potential than I have been about a new camera for a while and amazingly, I almost didn't take it with me.
