Whitby Double Dips...

I mentioned yesterday that I was hugely excited about this camera, and although I loved the results from the single exposures (the colours!!) this is where all the excitement really is - in the double exposures.

I've always enjoyed multiple exposures but I'm reluctant to do them too often, I guess because I don't want to lose that first exposure and often I just don't make the time to take them. However, having a dedicated camera for doubles was liberating and so much fun.

I really love these results. Really really. I think sometimes I take my cameras too seriously, and most of the time I'm happy with that, but sometimes you need to kick back, mess around, play with the light a little and have fun. And that's what I did with this camera and I really love it for that.

I think next time I'll try and shake it up a bit, I really love the splitzer look and as my LC-A is a refurbished one rather than the plus I can't get the Lomography attachment to do that so I may have gone a bit overboard with that look here but in the name of having fun and being a bit more abstract (perhaps) I think it was totally worth it.

p.s. The lovely Dawn from Candidly Clyde included me in her list of 'ten photo blogs you should be following'. If you love photo blogs then you will love this list, I even found some new favourites too.

Accidental Doubles

These photos were a pleasant surprise.

I picked this film up from a bargain bucket in Manchester during the Lomo Meet Up there in February, at first all I knew waas that it was C41 and iso 200 but after getting the film developed I noticed it was called Lucky Charm, how awesome!! Anyway, the first time I tried to use it was in my first refurbished LC-A, which died 4 photos into this film, so I wound it back on to use again assuming the photos would be blank but they weren't and here are the results of this film being put through two different cameras.

The first one is my favourite, Normal for Norfolk is a shop in Wells and its name really makes me laugh and the church behind is in Leeds, so I have a bit of Yorkshire and Norfolk in one photo... perhaps that will be my next doubles project - Yorkshire vs Norfolk :)

Camera: Refurb LC-A and Olympus XA2
Film: Random iso 200 Chinese film
Location: Yorkshire and Norfolk :)

Lomo lovers film swap... the second set

A couple of weeks ago I posted some photos from the first film that got developed as part of my contribution to the Lomo Lovers film swap. As I mentioned before, I was partnered with Davide and yesterday he shared the photos from the second roll of film. The film this time was Kodak Elitechrome 100 (which Davide cross processed) that I orginally exposed with my La Sardina and sent to Davide in Italy(!) which he then put through his LC-A+.

These photos in particular I exposed at Kirkstall Abbey. I thought that at least one of the films I took should have some photos of there on it and I was really excited to see what Davide would expose over the top and I was not disappointed with the results. I particularly love the coffee sign!

Thank you so much to the Lomo Lovers - Nicola and Sam - for organising this swap... and thank you, of course, to Davide too! Hurray for film swaps!!!

Cameras: LC-A+ and La Sardina

Shades of turquoise...

Remember my confession of love for this Agfa film yesterday... well here are more reasons why I really love that turquoise shift and also, another confession of love for my Superheadz camera... I knew it could produce beautiful vignetting, but this film has taken that aspect and really made it special.Compared to yesterday's photos, for some reason these doubles only seem to show hints of Davide's exposure and my photos of Wells and Harry (who I'm seeing Sunday, woo) are really prominent but I love the subtleness of layering this produces.

One of my favourite things about film is that there are so many options before you even take photos, its easy to stick with camera/film combinations but these photos remind me that I need to try as many different films as I can.

We're actually going home and to Wells again this weekend, so these photos are pretty fitting.

Have a great weekend! 

Camera: Superheads Wide and Slim and LC-A+
