Title: Two snaps I finally quite like
Post by: Andrea. on April 20, 2008, 09:08:36 PM
 After a barren period when i took nothing i like, I take two. Both on cheap GP3 film which was a pig to load onto reels and has had to been spotted on the pooter thingy.
Both from a trip south to Manc and on the way home. We actually went to Somerset to see family and in drove 1700 miles in a week. Never again! The exhaust on the car fell off, a wheel bearing started whining and I got bored. Very boroed. So pleased to be home!

The first one is awfully nice! Wonderful vintage look, but still has a freshness about it- if that makes any sense. But I like it indeed.

That's the rather fetchingly named Balloon Street in the first pic I do believe.

Yay someone else who uses an Ilford Sporti! They're both very nice pictures. I like all the interesting stuff in the foreground of the landscape especially.

both are very nice.....I think I like the second one best, but only because it looks like the mountains around here somewhat.

The first one is very nice too....gosh, I can't pick really!

I will second and third the vintage feel sentiments. Like it was pulled from some great photography book. Love the graphics in the street. Very nicely taken....very nice.
