The first photos of 2012...
It seems only fair to follow the last of 2011's photos with the first of 2012's don't you think?
Last weekend we went for a wander around Leeds and I took some photos with my LC-A. I love the results with the Ilford XP2 film and I'm glad that I've started to use it more in different cameras - I think I will use it with my Superheadz next which is a very exciting thought!
I got so excited seeing this, amazingly on a road that I've walked down many times...
This camera is still a steep learning curve for me - at one point I had it on the wrong ISO setting, though that didn't ruin anything luckily. Also, I'm a bit worried I'm covering the light meter with some photos as a couple of them turned out like this on both this roll and my last one... Needless to say, my mental checklist of things to check when taking a photo is a little longer now, but I'm happy with that if the results are like this.
I love Leeds, sometimes I forget how amazing it can look.

p.s.s. Just realised most of these are looking up... again. The perils of being short...
Henley in Arden
Fact: Henley-in-Arden is in the top ten of the cutest places in England I've ever visited.
Whilst we were away for the week we stayed in a hotel just outside of the town and almost every day we either walked or drove through it... and each time I couldn't get over how cute and very English it looked.
I still can't get over how gorgeous the buildings along the main street were with the painted wood, the cute lamps and amazing windows that weren't quite straight.
Happy weekend!!
