Inspired by black eyed angel, (go and have a look at her blog and website - she is a fascinating artist, sculptor, herbalist and writer) we thought we would shoot some old fashioned film. I dug out my old Minolta and Kind Dog remembered an even more venerable Voigtlander Bessa he had packed away in a box.
So, festooned with cameras both digital and steam-driven, we drove down to the beach and set up the tripod and started snapping.
We got the scans back from the camera shop today - we are very happy with the results.
And of course sunsets and moonrises look best in colour.

Lovely. We're packing up to move and I found (literally) a bag full of non-digital cameras. I thought I should pull them out and try and take some "real" photos - the kind where you sit and hope and pray...
And then have to wait.
And wait.
It's good for the soul, I think.

How wonderful! Thank you for your kind words :) Were the b&w shots from the Bessa? They are all fabulous. I agree with you about film having a deliciousness that digital can't replicate. As for the horizon straight thing...part of the fun of film I'm afraid! But what it does do is force you to slow down, really take your time making the picture and consider everything before you click.
(and you can always straighten horizons in photoshop!)
