Over on the universe blog. I’ve been doing a series of posts on Alnwick Gardens, shot with my FujiX-T2, but of course I took my little Minolta Riva Mini with me and shot some pictures on Fuji film. Lovely readers who follow that blog will recognise some of the shots, (I like to compare! 🙂 ) but if not, here’s Alnwick Gardens on film.
The Tai-Haku cherry blossom Orchard
A weeping blossom tree (I made that up)
The Cascade
The Treehouse
Fraggle's Otherverse 
The digital photos were very sharp, and most enjoyable. But there is a ‘smudgy’, ‘painterly’ quality to these film shots that really gets to me. 🙂
Best wishes, Pete.

I like the comparison between the different cameras. Those of us who rely entirely on our phones for pictures don’t realize how different cameras can be (or maybe that’s just me).

Yes cameras can be so different, but it’s the feeling in the shot that counts, not what it was shot on. Don’t know what you use for Choppy shots, but who gives a monkeys? They’re brill.

I have always figured it’s better to get the shots with my crappy phone camera than to not get them at all!

I was drawn to the pic with the shadows cast on the path, great composition (like I know what that means) 🙂
