My photoswap photos from our holiday

I've been really unorganised with the photoswap this year and a lot of people taking part have also been really busy, so its been coming along slowly... I don't really mind to much, as its not an urgent project and its the sharing of photos process that I enjoy the best rather than the speed of it.

I used my holga camera, as I haven't used it for a while and I sent my film to Dianna to get developed and I'm really thrilled with the results, I love how soft they look.

I'm also really thrilled that the photo of the goats head around its shed worked out, it was only there for a minute and I thought I'd missed it.

These photos are also making me excited about our holidays this year, hurray!

Snow at Kirkstall Abbey...

I pushed my luck with the light with this film - it was just starting to get dark and even though I used a 400 film and my LC-A with its internal light meter, I'd say over half of the film is a blurry mess.

However, I did get some good shots so I think it was worth it. And I enjoyed the walk too.

Our Christmas tree...

These photos are actually from last year but our tree always looks pretty much the same if I'm honest (you can see photos from last year here) I'm a stickler for tradition at Christmas. Although we do have my parents fancy, flashy LED lights on the tree after I accidentally stole them earlier this year. (Thanks Dad and Mum, oops).

I took these last year with my Holga 135bc as I knew I needed to finish the film off. I didn't expect them to work to be honest, so the fact that I got some fun (if a bit silly) results always makes me smile. Sometimes I take things way to seriously so these were a nice reminder to enjoy myself, to stop comparing myself to other people and to enjoy the process, even if I am waving a camera around in front of a christmas tree haha.

Much love Monday in Whitby

{My Dad likes to take photos too}

I wasn't that blown away originally by this roll of film. I think it's too easy to compare colour negative film with cross processed slide films sometimes but now I'm quite keen on the muted colours and subtle contrasts, they seem suit my memory of Whitby so much better.

I'm know Anna doesn't do her Much Love Monday posts any more, but with the lovely heart that is in one of these photos (did you see it?) I couldn't resist.

p.s. It's December! I added snow to my blog. It's silly I know, but I don't care, our Christmas tree is up, my Christmas desktop background is in place and I am ready to get festive, woohoo!
