Over on the Universe Blog on the last and next sundays are my close-up digital shots of the flowers Sophie and I found at Birkheads Secret Gardens. I also had my Contax Aria loaded with Kodak Gold 200 film, and used it to do wider shots of the gardens, and to photograph the quirky decorations that you come across when walking through the gardens. So to accompany the Universe posts, I’m doing a Film Friday post with the results from the Contax.
In one of the corners there’s a nod to pirates
There’s also an oriental kind of place
and you can sit by a pond and look for the fish and the newts.
Walking around you come across mini statues
the owners have a sense of humour
They’ve left an area to become a wildflower place, with it’s own not-a-scarecrow and fake geese 😃
More to come next week, so stay tooned!

It will be no surprise to you that I love the real film shots. I am trying to muster up the enthusiasm to use the Canon T-90 film camera I bought. But with all the prices increasing, I’m not sure I can justify the cost.
Best wishes, Pete.

Yes, and developing costs. I have to watch my budget these days, sadly.

Me too, I’ve cut back on a few other things to keep film, online and TV subs are going, cutting cloth accordingly as my Mum would say.
