Single Frame: Lovely Light

Inspired again by my blog photographer friend Jim and his single frame series - here is another addition of my single frames! I mentioned recently about loving light coming through windows and this is one of my recent favourites - its seemed a bit silly to put other photos in a blog post with it, when this image alone was enough to take my breath away. I hope you love it too!

My little love <3

It's December you guys!! Which means I'm finally seeing my little nephew again - today in fact!! I am excited! Hence all the exclamation points haha. I haven't seen him in too long, so my weekend will be all about baby cuddles and putting him in little christmas outfits (I am totally that aunt who bought all the christmas clothes in the January sales haha)

These photos are a couple of months old now so he looks much bigger but don't worry I'll be taking more photos this weekend for sure!! 

Camera: Canon EOS 750
Film: Kodak BW400CN

an old friend and lovely light

First, I guess I should explain that the old friend I'm referring to is the camera rather than any of the subject matter in the photos - that's the lovely light. But for some reason I was drawn to take my yashica samurai with me on a trip to York last month and oh gosh, I'm so glad that I did.

According to this blog I haven't used this camera since 2014?! I'm pretty sure that was when I got massively distracted by my LC-A before I then moved onto my Canon EOS 750 ha. I'm amazed I got so distracted that I didn't pick it up once or twice though because so many of my favourite photos have been taken with my yashica samurai and as these photos show, it really does well in gorgeous light! 

Do you go through camera phases too? Which camera should you really pick up again? I'm really tempted to pick up one of my other cameras again now - but which one to use next!

p.s. Film photography has really come along internet wise - the first time I googled this camera ever (2010ish), it was barely talked about but now there are loads of people talking about it and sharing photos, how exciting! I love it when a camera I like is also enjoyed by others.
