Moar Velvia! - Part II

The photos in my previous two posts (Orford Ness and Southwold) were all shot on Fuji Velvia 100F but I didn't finish the roll there! It came with me to Bristol and there were blue skies...

The moon was in evidence

I saw some pretty trees in the midst of legoland Bristol

And some berries

And leaves

I was still admiring trees in the evening

Are plants becoming a bit of a theme with me?

They *are* pretty...

...and so are Photosoc

All these photos were taken on Fuji Velvia 100F with my Pentax ME Super.

Moar Velvia! - Part I

The Orford Ness photos from the previous post were all shot on Fuji Velvia 100F but I didn't finish the roll. It came with me to Southwold and produced these:

Valerian shadows in Granny's yard

Some purply hollyhocks in Primrose Alley. I love the pebbled wall, the colour of the bricks, and the shadows.

And a pink hollyhock


Afternoon sunlight in a bedroom

A convex mirror self-portrait á la Adam


Down on the prom

The view from a beach hut

Busy day at the beach

The film then returned to Bristol with me, but that's another post...

All these photos were taken on Fuji Velvia 100F with my Pentax ME Super.

Double Win

After Jith and I had a double fail, which was probably due to camera issues on her end, I decided to collaborate with myself instead. I found myself pretty easy to work with and didn't have to worry about letting myself down by filling the roll with rubbish.
I even managed to make some pictures, fancy that!


Harbourside Bokeh x Honeycomb Wall at the Chemistry Department

Coffee at the village flower show x Park Street in the morning

Wallpaper at Papajis x Water in the fountain outside the Victoria Rooms


Leaves & a lantern on Birdcage Walk x Sculpture on the fountain outside the Victoria Rooms

Clifton Suspension Bridge from down by the swingbridge x Chipboard

Nightglow at the balloon fiesta x Advertising on a car

These were all taken on my Pentax ME Super with Kodak Colorplus 200 film from Poundland & developed by the nice people at Clifton Colour.
The rest of the roll can be found in my Doubles! set on Flickr.

Down The Lane

One of the nice things about living in the countryside (that almost makes up for isolation, lack of public transport, poor internet connection, lack of phone signal etc)is that there's so much pretty about. Just walking down the lane I see loads of lovely trees and flowers and rolling countryside that really puts Bristol to shame. Urban trees can be a nice relief from general concretey greyness and leafy garden-y areas can be pleasant, but nothing beats being surrounded by green with only the sounds of songbirds (plus the odd tractor) in the air.

Bit fanciful? Maybe. But look:

















All these photos were taken on my Pentax ME Super on Fuji Superia X-Tra 400.
