Whitby and sunshine...

Oh gosh I miss the sunshine... the only light I see now is my ten minute walk to work and out of my window... but I'll be honest, a car park does not make for inspiring viewing all day. Even when occasionally a crow gets in a fight with a magpie (its rare and the crow always wins)

This last photo is what happens when I attempt to take a photo over a wall that is a good foot taller than me, by jumping and guessing :) I love it!!

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.
