Hi everyone! Here’s another personal post from me. Hasn’t the summer holidays been lovely? This year we decided to go on a “glamping” holiday. What is glamping you ask? Well it’s a more luxurious form of camping. So instead of bringing everything but the kitchen sink with us, all we needed are ourselves, food and toiletries. We stayed in a yurt in The New Forest which was lovely and warm, with it’s wood burner inside, there were proper beds and mattress and ours even had a chaise lounge, there was a proper kitchen facility with a fridge, and our own shower and toilet block. Each night, we lit a fire in the firepit and had toasted marshmallows by the lake … Anyway, those pictures are all to come as I sent those in a separate batch to the lab! This particular roll was sent on a rush order to a different lab so that I can participate in my monthly blog circle of film enthusiasts from around the world. This month’s challenge was to shoot portra 400 in direct sun and the photo must have a person in it. I’ve got a few without a person in it but trust that you won’t mind those. So here are some photos from our holiday.
First we went up a Motte:
then we went berry picking (strawberries and raspberries) on the way back to the yurt.
All shot on my rolleiflex tlr. Please visit my friend Joyce Kang, a children and family photographer in Austin, Texas. and follow the links around for more old fashioned film photography goodnesss.
