Rolling hills...

I'm pretty sure that when people mention the 'rolling hills of England' that this is what people imagine! These were taken just outside Lancaster and I still absolutely love how many sheep there were haha. The barn we stayed at is somewhere to the right of the panoramic down the windy road.

I think taking panoramic pictures with my diana mini is my new favourite thing, they look so abstract with the overlapping lines... I definitely need to play with this idea more! I think it could look fascinating in colour too.

p.s. This is also a perfect example of rolling hills. They are one of my favourite things about England, I have to say.

Heysham Diana Mini's Part 3

It's a miserable day in Leeds... kind of like how you picture wet, rainy Yorkshire to be really. So it seemed like the perfect day to share some gloomy photos from Heysham. (Yup, still catching up with photos from February, oops)

These photos were taken just after parts one and two, and as you can see, the weather really turned on us - though I don't think that this really explains the darkness to the left of the photos... I'm not actually sure what that is. I did have a few problems with loading this film but these were the only photos on the roll with it, so perhaps it was the weather.

Spring in Leeds...

I was hoping to have some colour photos to share with you today but my usual photo lab wouldn't cross process my slide film for me yesterday (cue panic and sadness from me) but hopefully I should get that film developed soon and I'll have some colour on here! I did however get another diana mini, black and white roll developed yesterday, finally and I don't think you'll mind these photos so much. I'm completely smitten with them myself.

Honestly, I think that last photo may be my favourite that I've ever taken!

Funny story - I went to take that photo and Thomas moved his hand in to touch the blossom and I thought - urgh, he always gets in the way of my photos - then I realised that actually it was beautiful just as he moved his hand away, so I bullied him into doing again haha and managed to actually get a rather amazing photo... So there you go, sometimes it's ok to restage photos and sometimes it's ok to let your boyfriends into your photos.
