Single Frame: Sitting in the Sunshine

Blogging and photography have always been weaved together as a process for me - especially as I started blogging before I took photos with film again. So I think subconsciously, I always took a group of photos together to tell a story, to bring them together here to share with you guys in a collective way that conveyed my whole experience.

However, this year, that has shifted away - and inspired by Jim (I'm going to keep mentioning until you all click through and enjoy Jim's blog as much as I do haha) and his single frame series, I've started sharing my single frames here and thoroughly enjoying stand alone photos for the experience that they are. 

Gosh I wish I was sitting in the sunshine like this now too! The weather here is cold and although I love winter photos too - I sure do miss the warm sunshine on my skin.

Lovely light at Oxburgh

Sometimes I think about renaming my blog to a more photography related name, but all I really come back to is 'lovely light' because that's what I'm really chasing when I'm taking photos. I'm quite fond of my blog name though, so instead, I'll just have lots of blog posts with the same 'lovely light' title haha.

These were all taken around Oxburgh Hall in Norfolk and once again I was so excited that they let you take photos inside!

an old friend and lovely light

First, I guess I should explain that the old friend I'm referring to is the camera rather than any of the subject matter in the photos - that's the lovely light. But for some reason I was drawn to take my yashica samurai with me on a trip to York last month and oh gosh, I'm so glad that I did.

According to this blog I haven't used this camera since 2014?! I'm pretty sure that was when I got massively distracted by my LC-A before I then moved onto my Canon EOS 750 ha. I'm amazed I got so distracted that I didn't pick it up once or twice though because so many of my favourite photos have been taken with my yashica samurai and as these photos show, it really does well in gorgeous light! 

Do you go through camera phases too? Which camera should you really pick up again? I'm really tempted to pick up one of my other cameras again now - but which one to use next!

Location: York

p.s. Film photography has really come along internet wise - the first time I googled this camera ever (2010ish), it was barely talked about but now there are loads of people talking about it and sharing photos, how exciting! I love it when a camera I like is also enjoyed by others.
