Whitby Redscale photos...

These are actually a mixture of photos from Whitby, Robin's Hood Bay and Staithes but I like them together and saying Whitby is just easier. I'm sure you'll forgive me.

I was a little distressed when I realised that this was my last Lomo Redscale XR film and they haven't had it on the Lomography website for a while... (don't panic yet?) so I was conservative with this film.

I kind of wish that I hadn't been though - I've never been that precious with film before and I think that in worrying about ruining it or wasting the film, I forgot to just enjoy it as much as I usually do. Luckily I did enjoy it enough to get some pretty photos though. The last one is my favourite.

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!!

Robin's Hood Bay Part 2

These are my last photos with this roll of film and I'm pretty sad about that. I never expected to really love black and white results as much as I love these (I am a huge fan of colour) but I really can't get over these, I think its because there is so much black in them. I love the colour black (it was my teenage favourite for a long time, much to my Nanna's despair) and the contrast in these is so appealing to me.This is definitely another film to add to my regular films to use (much to my purses despair, haha).

p.s. Did you spot Robin Hood amongst these? I was pretty chuffed that I managed to find him and get a photo.

Robin Hood's Bay, Part 1

I'm not really sure why its called Robin Hood's Bay considering that it isn't anywhere near Nottingham...perhaps the smugglers that used it stole from the rich to give to the poor?

Anyway, this bay is kind of what I would imagine my quiet, safe place to look like and every time I look at these photos I feel the same as when we were there, calm and relaxed.

I was a bit worried about using a black and white film as the colours were so lovely but I think that I actually prefer the look of the black and white tones here, the contrast is perfect.
