'Unearthed' - Battling Blight

One of the last projects I did this year was a project with the Woodland Trust. The theme was ‘unearthed’, and we showed the photos in a pop-up exhibition in Heartwood Forest in Hertfordshire. I decided to try the idea of burying film again, and it was much more interesting than last time I tried it, I think because I left it buried for longer and had the use of a much better film scanner to pick up the detail. Here are photos of my final chosen photo and its print, and the handout I made for the exhibition explaining the idea.

Cross Processed Velvia 50

I recently tried slide film and cross processing for the first time, with some Velvia 50. I mainly did it for my last photography project (hence the slightly random food photos at the end) but had about half a film left to use on whatever I fancied.

The results are very green and surprised me quite a lot. I like these crazy photos but I'm also planning on getting some more Velvia or other slide film to try this summer, not cross processed.

These photos are also on my LomoHome.

Canon AE-1

A couple of weeks ago I was given an Canon AE-1, a camera that I'd admired a lot online. These are photos from the first film I used in it, a random colour 400 Tesco film I had. It's very grainy but I'm pleased because I like grain and I like the photos, and this film makes it clear that the camera definitely works.

New film developed including White Denim photos

Today I got a film developed that I started a long time ago, to take photos of White Denim when we went to see them in Manchester on the 23rd May. Here are photos of them (plus a couple of the support, White Arrows) and a few other random photos I took on the film afterwards.
