The Bluetones Farewell Tour

Over the past month we've been to as many gigs on The Bluetones' farewell tour as we could (4 so far; Cardiff, Leeds, Oxford and Birmingham). Since my non-slr digital camera is so rubbish, I've been taking my trusty Olympus Trip 35 with me, loaded with Kodak Ultramax 400 that I bulk-bought from poundland a while ago. I got the film that I used at Cardiff, Leeds and Oxford developed yesterday and I'm glad to say I seem to have been a bit better at guessing the focus than the last couple of times I used this camera and film. There's currently a roll in there with photos from Birmingham which I'll use up in London on tuesday.

Here are my favourites from this roll, you can see the rest here.

 

Zenit E First Roll

Today I finally got the first roll from my Zenit E developed. I'm generally really happy with them, my Zenit seems to be working which is the main thing. The film is expired by about 10 years and some of them are slightly purple so I'm assuming the two things are linked. The film's really grainy as well but considering I got loads of it for free from my grandad I can't complain! I also quite like the grain really. Some of the photos have come out a bit dark but I think I know what I was doing wrong now. I'll just have to see what happens next time!

Kathleen's Farm

As I mentioned in the Naomi post, Kathleen had another camp at her lovely farm and obviously I took lots of photos. It's impossible not to because it's so lovely, OK?! I have hundreds of photos from the other two times I went there. As I said in the other post as well, I took my Zenit E but haven't had the film developed from it so this post will just be photos taken with my Nikon D40. These were taken between 5:30 and 8:00 in the morning because we got up early again, to go for a walk round while the sun was rising. How romantic.
