Winter in Norfolk is pretty picturesque I will admit. All of these I just stopped and randomly took around a few places and I love the textures - that last photo may be one of my favourite photos even if it is from that one overexposed XP2 film.

It is currently freezing and snowing in Leeds. Not my favourite weather - and more slush than heavy and pretty (though I managed some pretty enough photos on Instagram). It seemed a bit weird to show some photos from Porto or the Summer, so I settled for some detail photos from Autumn instead.
It's still surreal to me that I have a new job and I don't walk this way any more in the morning - you get used to something after 6 years. Luckily my new job is still going so well and the pluses make up for a different walk in the morning - but when I'm crammed on a busy commuter train I do miss being alone in the middle of a field (apart from an occasional deer). I do not however miss the buses... so that's a plus too ha.

I'm still so sad about this film being discontinued... I really should buy some more asap!
These photos are so old now, nearly a year old! I have 400 photos from last year to upload onto Flickr - and these were the oldest, so I thought I'd start here... and why not eh? I was even a little adventurous and tried a panorama shot (you can see a bigger version if you click on it) taking separate photos with my LC-A and then stitching them together with Photoshop... I quite like the result, but not as much as I like the ones from my Diana Mini. I do kind of want to go back to the beach now though...

Hello lovely people and happy 2015!! I know, I know… we’re already two weeks in and I’m late to my own blog party... but oh well. I guess I needed the break and it was nice to relax over the holidays and then take some time to settle back into work properly.
These photos were taken on the beach over Christmas in Norfolk and are my last photos from 2014 in my OM-10. I’m not sure what happened with these if I’m honest – the camera kept changing the shutter speed as I took to the photo which is very weird and frustrating… because you can hear immediately that something has gone wrong and even though I double checked the shutter speed for the next photo, the same thing happened again!
Though I will confess that I’m really enjoying the contrast between the people and the beach and sky – they’re reminding me of a Lowry painting a little. It is annoying with the photos that really overexposed though and aren’t worth keeping. I’m going to change the batteries and hope that fixes the situation, toes and fingers crossed!

p.s. If you’re following me on Flickr – I apologise that I’ll be uploading all my 2014 photos that aren’t on there over the next few weeks but hopefully that means more blog posts (cos I’m so far behind…)
All photos are mine unless stated otherwise. Please do not use any of my photos without asking for my permission.
I love getting comments and replying to them especially. If you leave a comment, check back in a few days and hopefully I should have replied.
