Nostalgia
In the long and pleasurable meander down Memory Lane yesterday, it wasn’t just funnies I found.
I discovered photographs of Norfolk rape fields (Lomo Lubitel II):
Pottergate. the streets of Norwich I once roamed (Lomo Lubitel II):
More pictures of Norwich (Comet Bencini iiS on Rollei 80s 127 film):
Reflections in a shop window
Retro fashion and an alarmingly good supply of vintage cameras
Always an interesting find to be unearthed in here
A rather fabulous Belgian Bistro: the Belgian Monk
I found memories of beautiful walks along Norfolk Broads, and crumbling stone discoveries (Canon AE-1):
The Norfolk Broads
Trouble comes in threes ❤
And I found beautiful memories of family times and much younger children! (Canon AT-1 Fujicolor cross-processed):
Overhead window making for beautiful lighting on a beautiful boy
Another crumbling wall on another long ramble
The days of eye contact – pre autism diagnosis. Same lovely overhead skylight.
Another skylit portrait
Canon AT-1 bokeh 🙂
Once a dreamer, always….?
A loopy dog, posing beautifully
“fishing”
But enough looking back!
Time to create new memories, in a new place, with the same beautiful old cameras.
And maybe one or two ‘new’ ones, too 🙂
When cameras go right and photographers go wrong
I got chatting to a lovely lady (who you can find over here) on Twitter today, and our conversation took me tripping down Memory Lane, to the time when I was predominantly analogue and to all the experiments with a million and one different old film cameras (more about which you can find over here – a blog set up by me and my husband to chart those very same trials, errors, dramas and successes).
And some of the photographs I found tickled me muchly. You know they talk about the cutting room floor, in film-making? Well these are (some of!) the pictures that never get shown off. I hope they amuse you almost as much as they did me.
Is the shutter working?
This was the inadvertent selfie discovered when I processed a roll from my Halina Paulette which, it turned out, also had a rather shocking light-leak. It has to be kept in its case at all times…
127 to 35mm conversion.
Note to self: the frame is smaller. MIND THE HEADS!
This was taken on a Comet Bencini iiS, on Fujicolor film, cross-processed at home. Neither love nor money will buy you 127 film just now but you can, with a little fiddling, load it with 35mm. It’s just that that makes the frames smaller. So… you know… don’t lose your head 😉
My two faces
Here I am on the beach at Blackhall Rocks. This was taken my my Beloved: “Oh hell! Did I take the shot? Erm… I don’t think I did.” He did. So here you see me, one exposure smiling nicely for the camera, the other telling one of my darlings to stop climbing too high while his little brother is following. *snort*! This was taken on the Halina A1 TLR
Is the shutter working? #2
Taken with the Ensign Ful-Vue (not to be confused with the Ensign Ful-Vue Super, which I love). Let’s pretend I wanted an arty shot of that fabulously blustery sky, shall we? But I think the line of the roof (is it?) at the bottom of the shot rather gives the lie to that assumption…
The last-minute protest
All happy and full of beaming smiles, you twiddle yer knobs, adjust yer settings… and the bottom falls out of his world, not to mention the focus. *sigh*… Canon AE-1, cross-processed Fujicolor
The Moon. It was never going to work.
I mean, what was I thinking?! Over-enthusiasm, I guess. Live and learn. Lomo Lubitel II – one of my all-time favourite cameras.
There are so many more, but they’re sitting on a hard-drive in a broken laptop, so it’ll be a while before they’re recovered. One day, though, bloopers #2 🙂

A Norfolk Walk…
… one of our favourites.
This is pure Norfolk. And I love it.

Madonna and Child
…at least that’s what I’m assuming it is.
This rather fine sculpture (and I do appreciate that the evaluation is subjective) is to be found in the grounds of Norwich Cathedral.
And I could of course have done with a slightly less overcast day… But we live and learn 🙂
Trouble…
…begins with a ‘B’…
