Beningbrough Hall Revisited... Again

I made the mistake of watching Bridgerton (like everyone else in the world it seems ha) and other than LOVING all the clothes and hats… I felt so sad that we can’t go visit any glorious old, huge houses at the moment.

Luckily I still have some photos of Beningborough Hall to share which is scratching that old house itch for a little while. All those lovely details!

Beningbrough Hall Revisited

I’m catching up with my photos from 2019 and as I went to put the photos together here, I felt nervous. These are not perfect. I developed them myself and frustratingly, they didn’t dry too well, so they look messy. And even after sooo many years of blogging - that feeling of exposing yourself - and your flaws - it still makes my toes curl.

But at the same time - I love these photos - you know I love a historic house, I love little details, I love silhouettes and I love that once I get the hang of developing my own photos, these will be another vital part of the growth of my photography journey. And growth is messy!

Yorkshire Dales: Signposts

As with the Kodak TMax 400 that Kodak Alaris sent me, I tested the Kodak Tri-X 400 in a similar way by taking photos of my favourite subject - the litte details. Again I’m reminded that I could easily change my blog title to ‘lovely light and little details’ and it would pretty much sum up what I do here haha.

I’m not sure why I’m so drawn to taking photos of these style signposts but I had to keep catching Thomas up on our walks haha. Perhaps to remember where I’ve been?

Either way I’m quite taken with the results of these photos. The first photo especially has a rather luscious grain I think. Its not quite as smooth as the romantic TMax 400 but I think I prefer it. My eye sight is pretty shocking (I won’t tell you my prescription lol) and one of the reasons I’ve continued using film for so long is that I find it so perfectly represents how I see the world.

Sheeep Part II

There were so many sheep in the Dales and as we went on various walks around Reeth, I got to take all the photos of them. I was definitely in my element during our few days away.

Can you spot the second sheep in the last photo? Its looking straight at the camera if you can find it. I liked that it was sassy.

As with the other photos that I shared of this film earlier this week - I didn’t have to edit them after I scanned them using Epsons B&W setting and again, I am swooning over the way that its captured light.
