John mayer; Vinyl

I came across something the other day that I hadn't seen for an age. I found my John mayer Vinyl, I remember when I bought it, it was a rainy day in what was meant to be summer a year or two ago. I wanted a new vinyl for a while and had been looking around, I had a £20 note that I wanted to spend on something special and wouldn't stop till I found something worth the money. After browsing for a while I saw it. It wasn't long after Battle Studies came out on CD. I thought, 'I have to have that' It's been at Josh's grandparents house for a while next to one of their really outdated vinyl's. I listened to it the other day when I was alone on the gramophone. It was so crackly and sounded like I was in the studio. Vinyl's playing remind me of rainy days when you're in bed trying to get to sleep. They're soothing and calming. I missed the sound of a vinyl. Nothing sounded better. It still gives me goosebumps and a tingly feeling to this day.

Juniper-twig Geometer - Size: span ~40 mm

The other day when I was walking out of my room I was scared out of my skin by this massive Moth, I explained it to my sister as being a horse sized moth. Okay. Exaggeration, but my god it was huge. To be honest I was shit scared of it, but I also thought it was pretty. I don't know how or why it got there. But I'm glad it did. I thought I'd use my macro enhancer to do all the work, Also just so I didn't have to get real close to it. My camera did instead!

Also the Macro had one side effect, It showed up all the dog hairs my hoover won't pick up!

Polaroids; Collection#2.

Film; London Train.

This is the small selection of a roll of film I took on my Mamiya on the way to London. I wanted to show my journey in a unique way, I did it in B&W purely because the film was only B&W to be able to select but also because I was adding an aged theme to all my photos.

On the first landscape mount, I actually put masking tape on the roll of film to show Where to start and where to stop the exposure, a bit of masking tape was shown when I exposed the light to the paper and shone through, revealing part of the picture of the lights at night on the road.

Certainly a tip I would do again given the chance. What a happy accident!

   

Polaroids.

As I mentioned polaroid film in the previous post I thought I'd show you part#1 of my collection. 

Top left is my Dog: Monte Bottom Left is my Hamster: Beau. Bottom Right is my Cat: Toto (Pronounced tutu.)

I took these on a Silver shade Impossible Project pack of 8 Expo film.

Experiment #2; Film.

I started thinking about when I last used film.

It was when I was going to London for a college project and I took a load of photos on film to show my journey. I enlarged them onto photographic paper and then presented them on foam mount. They got me a good mark at College and I now have them presented on my bedroom wall for all to see. (whomever goes in my bedroom that is!) I wanted to do it again to be honest. It was fun, So I'm taking my camera everywhere with me, and hoping to get some good snaps. The film I did in college happened to only be B&W. It was Ilford Pan 400. This time I went into boots and took a gander at all the rolls and chose Fuijifilm 400 (36 expo). This one is colour, Im hoping they come out well when they get developed in boots, theres something beautiful about not knowing if your film is going to come out well or not. I should probably show you my collection of Polaroids too. I'm quite fond of them.

I think the goal was accomplished!

I have never seen someone who does photography to have the right idea as much as greg, this collection he has is amazing! There is so much depth and contrast in each photo that captures the essence that is there. Never has a city or a sunset been so powerful! The whole collection ranges from cities to skies to even planets and lights. It's amazing, you can download them as an HD wallpaper also and get them printed to your door. 

What more could you want?

West Bay;

Just looked through a various load of my photos from est bay, and started editing two of them on Toycamera. I have so much fun with that application, I chose two that summed up the day really, most of them (the good ones) can be found on my website. If you click the polaroid camera to the right.

This is my dog Monte, dad was enticing him to go into the water, usually he's not that fond of water and can be quite scared but he enjoyed his first time at West bay. Also dad kept on getting his feet attacked by the waves and soon gave up.

I love the captured crashing waves.

This was a squid we found on the seafront. Dad held it up and it was all squidgy and the suckers were still clammy. Freaked me out! There were bits of seaweed an all sorts stuck to the poor bugger.

New camera strap.

I ordered this strap a while ago from Calichici on Ebay
[99.5% Positive feedback and I know the display picture is a bit concerning.. But I vouch a good name for them!]
And it came in such good time! I think it was a day or two form once I placed the order.
I must say it's the best strap I've used on my camera, [Plus it comes with a cute little detachable bag for a screen cloth.] It makes me feel like I'm holding a normal digi.
I'm sure Chichi is selling a few more because there were a range of colour to choose from, I chose the *Brown [which looks Black on the preview] but there is *Blue, *Red & *Gold; though the gold to me looks more silver but idk.
