The title for this post alone makes me happy... a camera I built. I'm still amazed about that... anyway, here are the photos. I love Leeds in the Autumn, especially around Kirkstall Abbey, its the perfect place to test cameras.
{one of my favourite photos of the abbey yet...}
I have a great feeling about this camera - it's everything a plastic toy camera should be - it's fun, it's experimental, it's unique and it gives some interesting effects. It's easy to do multiple exposures and I love the lens flare. It's light, compact and it feels even better in your hands for knowing how it's constructed and also for the knowledge that it has a missing screw somewhere (haha, oops, the instructions are fun to decipher...).
You can see the entire set of photos on Flickr here.
(Dad, click there! When you finally read this :p )
Have a great weekend!!
p.s. I think I'm blinking in the girls photos, oops. The perils of analogue photography :)
We first met at the University back in 2004. Uni was an amazing time and one of the best bits was our trip to Berlin in 2006 (we look so young!)
We loved our nights out and getting dolled up. This photo is from a Masquerade Ball that we were invited to in 2006. 
Then we went off on our placement year. C and Rhianne saw each other once over this time (C was in Leeds and Rhianne was in London) but we didn’t see G for almost a year because she decided to take herself off to South Africa! We made up for it in Final Year with lots of nights out, random get togethers and fancy dress! 
Before we knew it, it was time to graduate. C and Rhianne stayed in Leeds but G moved back down south (150 miles away sob!) but we were determined to stay in touch. There were lots of events planned from graduation to Disney on Ice, birthdays and a trip to Ireland next month.
Rhianne, you are one of the best. You pick us up when we are down, educate us on cameras (she’s obsessed, didn’t you know?), make us laugh, give us advice and overall you are one of the best friends we could ever had. (You are blubbing now, aren’t you?).
