A grey day in North Norfolk

It took me ages to scan these photos and then edit them correctly becasue I was treating them as if it was a super sunny day, all the colours should be nicely saturated and I’d used the brightest film possible. Once I realised that these were instead, desaturated, grainy, grey day photos, they finally started to ‘pop’ out to me and really get my heart rate going (though I shall say this is metaphorically as my current CFS/ME status now means my heart rate has to be safely kept at a steady rate ha)

Also yes, I know I take a lot of photos of boats and signposts. I like them.

Location: Wells and I think Cley - but definitely the North Norfolk coast

More Scarborough Love

As well as taking my new to me LC-A out and about recently, I’ve also been taking my Olympus OM-10 on little adventures. I feel a bit bad about my Canon EOS 750 gathering dust but its time will come again I’m sure.

We had lunch at Ask Italian (pea puree instead of tomato sauce on the base is my current new favourite thing - don’t @ me) overlooking the harbour and it was such a gloriously sunny day for it. What a treat!

Sandilands, Lincolnshire

Even though I grew up in Norfolk we never ventured to the Lincolnshire coast line, so I was pleasantly surprised that it was really lovely, similar to Norfolk (which you would expect) but with its own certain charm to it. I mentioned before loving the beach huts in Sandilands and you can see them here with the front and back windows - totally delightful!

We didn’t have much time here, so I’m hoping if I do go back again soon to keep my eye out for more little details and colours that catch my eye!

Around Scarborough

Confession: Even though we did go to Scarborough for a visit this year, these photos are over two years old now. I am perpetually playing catch up with photos on this blog. These photos are again from the batch I developed myself and have the signs to show it but I still love them. Scarborough is so iconic that even some bubbles and streaks couldn’t dampen my enthusiasm for it.

These photos were taken with Silberra U200 film in my quest to find a black and white film to love as much as I loved Kodak’s BW400CN film. I feel like the type of black and white film I want now is perhaps different to how it was before. I like the softness and subtle contrasts of these photos a lot and I look forward to trying more Silberra films.
