Christmas Phenix

A while ago I posted about a lovely Phenix camera I borrowed from college. I used it to take the photos on the first film that I developed myself and really loved it, so I decided to borrow it again this unit to take my finals with. I also needed some different film so had a trip to AG Photographic and bought a roll of Kodak Portra 800 for the first time. Some of the photos I took for my finals turned out well but others didn't so much because they were set in the dark and it was difficult to see whether I was focussing properly or not. I had a few photos left on the roll so I used it to take photos of (a particularly Christmassy) Birmingham before taking it to be developed, and they've turned out to be my favourite photos on the roll...

Block to the Future - Severn Roller Torrent vs Manchester Roller Derby

On Saturday (26/11/11) SRT took on MRD in Block to the Future. SRT won 261 - 105 which is awesome. I used the zoom lens I borrowed from college and it was really worth it, it was really fun to use and the photos have come out well.

Zoom lens!

Today I finally borrowed a zoom lens from college (which I've planned on borrowing before but never have) and as soon as I got it home I started messing around with it, and being amazed by it. I really wish I'd taken it before as it is very cool. I borrowed it with the Severn Roller Torrent v Manchester Roller Derby bout in mind which is tomorrow, and I might take it to town with me in the morning to get some more interesting photos, but these are the ones I took at home earlier today. You may not find them as amazing as I do because you don't see these things every day from the same place and know how far away they actually are, but I still like them just as photos too.
