Ugh I am struggling with the Lightroom-smugmug interface today, so have taken a break to shoot some polaroids, just around the house, back to the struggle after :/.
My herby garden is coming along nicely, I nearly killed the coriander but rescued it just in time,
My mums plant is firing up some very red shoots, another back from the dead plant 🙂
and I replaced the chrysanthemums from the other week with some gorgeous pink lily’s, must shoot them in colour 🙂
and finally, now for some ‘proper’ Friday film shots to come. I really like shooting film, and I’ve been dicking about with a holga and the lubitel, but the lubitel is not flexible enough for me, it only goes up to 1/500 shutter speed and the focusing screen is dire, especially for someone who needs varyfocals. So here is a proper jobby.
I’ve already started practicing, and am using a light meter to (hopefully) get the settings right, but it’s going to be a steep learning curve. The history of the camera is quite fascinating and I’ll probably do a Fraggle Report about it at some point over on Across The Universe . Anyways, back to the struggle..

That Rolleiflex is lush! Looking forward to reading the story of it, and how you came by it.
(I did wonder about that Lubitel…)
Best wishes, Pete.

Nice job on the coriander save! I am looking forward to figuring out what Mother Nature killed off this winter over the next few weeks (she finishes the job I start most of the time).

Lovely compositions, fragglerocking, they seem to be made with time and care. The photos I see on Flickr with the Rolleiflex are astounding, I know in your hands it will shine and sing. : )
