A rather impromptu giveaway - Closed

After finally sorting out my box of cameras - I realised that there was a camera in there that I already had: this little panorama camera!

So I decided that I wanted to give it away to one of my readers!

It takes 35mm film and although I don't believe it has a true wide angle lens like the vivatar slim and wide and the image is cropped by a template onto the negative I still love how the pictures turn out and it was is easy to carry around and snap away happily with.

This camera is a true, cheap plastic camera!

If you're not convinced, here are some examples of photos that I have taken with it
and you can also see more examples here.

I love it and I think one of you will as well :)

:: How to enter ::

This giveaway is now closed!

p.s. if you happen to love film but don't own a film camera and perhaps enjoy a good swap, then now may be the perfect time to enter this giveaway... just saying...

An unexpected surprise...

Whilst venturing into my amazing box of cameras I was stunned to find that two of the cameras still had film in them!

Unfortunately one of the films must have been quite old as I tried to wind it on and it completely snapped. The other one however had a few random photos on it... but the film was so old that the negatives turned green once they were developed and most of the photos came out quite purple.


How cute are the rabbit and guinea pig! And how random is the last photo - I have no idea whats going on there.

I love the idea that my cameras were all loved and used before I got them - imagine the things that they would have taken photos of... perhaps one travelled the world?? Who knows...

When fuji instax mini's go wrong...

On Saturday we went to Malham, the weather was gorgeous, we took a picnic, sat by waterfalls and everything was good.
Until my fuji instax didn't work - cue complete panic...

After opening the back of the film I realised that one of the photos had a small nick in it (can you see in on the top left?) which meant the photo couldn't pass through the rollers, so I had to pull it through resulting in the yellow fuji. The other photo didn't even make it through the rollers (I don't remember why) but I did have fun pushing the chemicals up and around the photo - you can even make out a partial thumb print on it - how cool is that?!

As a result the next two pictures came out with light exposure on them, however you can still make out the pretty waterfall.
In fact I kind of like them...

I really love the two that turned out properly though - especially my little holga - I put her down for a second and though she looked so lovely that I had to take a photo!

Much Love Monday!

I was going to blog about our weekend but then this arrived!!!

I sat one of my desk so I wouldn't think about the whole box of cameras sitting behind me waiting to be explored...

I am completely in love with this kodak brownie, I've wanted one for ages and its cuteness is just wonderful...

Happy sigh...
p.s. I haven't taken part in Anna's Much Love project for ages, I've missed it :)
