Holiday film snaps.....

[Dan Cattermole]

Went to a holiday camp near Fareham..... had a great time!

Whilst unpacking the car and letting the little monster 'explore' the static home, she descided to roam around the master bedroom, conveniently I had my praktika BCA in my hand and I caught her trying to break free..... to the swimming pool thats visable from the home!!!

Oh, and I've discovered she Loves shoes!! could of left her for hours!! just like her mother. lol

Exhausted after the visit to Portsmouth..........

and my favourite place in Portsmouth........ a sushi bar!!! hahaa!! I've never been in one before, yet, I love sushi !! I asked the waitress if I could take a picture of the conveyor belt that circulates around the 'centered' kitchen... she said yes...... as long as I didn't take any photos of the cooking area...

very minimal PP carried out on all photos, will get round to posting some more soon.... but in the meantime.... thanks for looking and reading folks

Great set Dan! What film were you using?

 

[Dan Cattermole]

Thanks Barry.... In all honesty, I'm using 35mm boots ISO 200 film, 5 rolls of 36 exposures for 8 sheets. Cheapest I could find, just finding it mad how much film is costing to buy and develope these days... its got a lovely level of grain to play with. lol

lol indeed it does! I just got an OM10 today, in excellent condition, just jammed in some ColorPlus200 and gonna snap the bejesus out of everything over the coming days! Need to get me a slide scanner...I may have one here...but "here" tends to be a difficult place to navigate!

Lovely set Dan. Isn't film wonderful?! As long as you are not critical about colour accuracy and reproducibility most of the 'supermarket' films are good now and are probably coming off a big name line these days - there is no room for cheap competition any more since the collapse of the film market. I don't shoot much colour any more but I still have some Kodak Portra in the fridge. Mostly B&W and mostly Ilford Delta (some HP5 for pushing). And I still intend to put some rolls through a camera this week some time. This has just inspired me more. I might even go into the darkroom today and mix up some ID11 in preparation! Thanks.

Great set, There is something about film that digital just cant re produce as well. Well worth it if you can handle the extra cost and the fact that your not really sure what you got until you get it developed.

Dan - fabulous shots - really love the B&W

I feel your pain regarding film prices - having paid $40 for two rolls of 8mm cine film, I just paid another $50 to have them developed and scanned to DVD - ouch!

 

[Pete Askew]

Mind, the price of silver doesn't help either. It's gone through the roof in recent years. I re-stocked the darkroom in the UK a couple of weeks ago and it cost an arm and a leg!!

How do you hold your camera steady now Pete?

Bought a tripod and wheelchair at the same time!!
