Two snaps I finally quite like
« 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 looks very vintage! the second looks like something i'd like to climb!

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.
