And the camera is...

A fair number of you got it right and I'm so glad about that.

This beautiful photo by JMK Photos is the main reason that I've decided to experiment more with my instax mini recently - when I first saw it I thought it was a polaroid film of some sort, its so soft and delicate yet the contrasts are strong, I loved it straight away. Imagine my surprise when I realised it was from a fuji instax camera!
The reason I had this little quiz was really a reminder to myself what great cameras and films the instax family are.  They can be considered a bit of a gimmick and normally get a unjust negative comparison to polaroids but I think every camera is what you make of it and if you're willing to experiment a bit and believe that you can produce the results you want then with effort, you can.

You can see the rest of my recent instax mini photos here...

p.s. I normally keep the frame on my instax minis when I scan them but I'm wondering if I should remove it from some, as sometimes it feels like it detracts from the beauty and the quality of the image.

Photo Meditation photos...

I took these during week 1 of Photo Meditations. Every day I walk the same way to work and I have taken a lot of photos of the route but this time I tried to implement what we had been taught that week and see it a bit differently. I'm really happy with the results.

The colours and light this day were so lovely and I loved how the wire seemed to follow the line of the fields so well.

Camera: 35mm Panorama - more details to come.
Film: Kodak ISO 200
Location: Leeds

The first photoswap photos are in...

...and they are beautiful :)

All photos taken my Margrethe with her LC-A and redscale film in Norway
and sent to one of my dearest friends Gee in England.

This is my favourite part of the swap - getting to see the photos.

See the entire film in the Photoswap 2011 Flickr group.

p.s. The winner of last weeks Much Love Illy giveaway is Mama Bear :)
Yeay! Email me with your address lovey.

Oh my...

I've been looking through the Impossible Project PX680 Flickr group for the beta testing of the film, trying not to get too excited about the new film (and failing...) and this photo just completely blew me away. I really hope that this film is better than the first possible project film that I tried... my photos are almost completely faded now and I still feel a bit let down by that when I think about how much I paid for them.

p.s. I'm completely addicted to Flickr... so many beautiful photos!

p.p.s. Laura asked if it was available yet but I think it the beta stock has sold out. Oh and it is for 600 cameras (which I have, woo). I probably should have mentioned that originally...
