Our Mini Moon - Heptonstall Part II

One of the most fascinating things at Heptonstall was the church grounds with two churches on it - one a ruin and another church still in use that was built after the original church suffered substantial damage in a gale in the 1800's. Of course with the original being a ruin we had to go look around - I do love taking photos of ruins!

I'm trying to think if we've been in a ruin that 'young' before - most of them are usually well over 200 years - whilst this one you could easily picture what it was like when it was a substantial building and being used regularly for its purpose. We definitely haven't been in church grounds with two buildings on it - that was a first and a really fascinating to see them next to each other like that.

Whitby Abbey in Portra

I've already posted some photos of Whitby Abbey taken with Lomography ISO 400 film and my Double Dip camera which were so colourful that its almost amazing to believe that these were taken on the same day at the same time...

Whitby Abbey seemed to have so much character and I love that my different cameras have managed to catch the different aspects of the Abbey, these photos in particular seem to capture the spookier aspect of the Abbey that inspired Bram Stoker to write Dracula (see what I did there, today being Halloween, haha).

Whitby Abbey Double Dips

I have a soft spot for ruined buildings... and Whitby Abbey didn't disappoint in terms of photographic potential. In fact I have more photos of the abbey with three other cameras and films, which I'm looking forward to sharing at some point but I knew I had to share these first from my Double Dip as I find them so exciting.

 How gorgeous and saturated are those colours, I can't get over them, especially as it wasn't that sunny a day and it's a colour negative film, not a cross processed slide film - though it is iso 400 which I think definitely helped to get these results.

I realise that I am probably the only person excited about these, but I may have already found the film that suits this camera and I always love that feeling, that click where it just feels right, its almost like I can imagine all the future photos I'll take with that camera and film, as they are perfect for each other...  In fact, I think I'm more excited about this cheap, home modified, small, plastic, unassuming camera and its potential than I have been about a new camera for a while and amazingly, I almost didn't take it with me.
