Cheap As Chips.

[Glen Roberts]

Anyone remember the Cheap as Chips Challenge?

Well I finally remembered to finish the roll of film and get it developed (only 2 years too late!!) . Got them developed and put on a CD in Asda's photo' dept.

Nothing special but thought I'd post the three best shots from the disc, which doesn't say much for the rest of them.

Sunset Wind Turbines.


Tunstall Pump House.



Beach Sign.


Still got a couple of rolls of film left, it's probably out of date by now, so I don't know whether to use the same camera again, look for a different camera or give give the film and camera away and stick to digital.

Great shots for the money, Glen. Chips are more expensive now, though. For the price of fish&chips these days, I could buy a medium-format Blad..

I am quite drawn to the first one, it conveys a sense of openness but also emptiness. Probably not what your intention was but I like it all the same.

 

[Pete Askew]

I'm with Paul although I find a similar feel to the third also. Love the soft colours.

 

[Hamish Gill]

so, what was the camera?

 

[Glen Roberts]

Hamish it was just an old Olympus Trip XB40 AF that I found in a charity shop for a couple of quid.

Thanks Paul.
I'm not an "Artist" that takes a photograph and says this means this or that means that, I am happy for any one to look at my pictures and have their own feelings and opinions on them. It matters not what my intentions were when I took the shot, it's what the viewer takes from looking at them that's important.

lovely photos. i really like #2 because it's not a view we get often in the states.

Thanks Beth.
