Still with the Rollei SL35 and the roll of Silberra 400, these are the shots I took with it at South Shields. Strangely none of these ones had alien light leaks.

But this one had a lot of hairs on it!

This one did better

I can never resist photographing the Weebles

And that’s the end of the roll of Silberra 400. I like the tonality of this film, it’s not super-contrasty, but that’s great for lots of detail and texture. I’ve still to try out some different B&W films, but would definitely use it again.

Stay tooned, for next time, South Shields beach in colour!

Last week I posted my B&W shots in Newcastle, so this week I’m going back over the bridge to Gateshead. Same roll of film, and more wierd bits.

This next one I took in an underpass, but I have no idea what happened to it. I quite like it, looks like aliens are about to land 🙂

I took a few on my walk home after getting off the metro.

overexposed the flower, and dunno about the white fog.

and then the next shots were OK, go figure.

That’s it for this week, next time we’re off to the coast at South Shields.

I’ve got a couple of rolls developed now, so a few Fridays taken care of! Haven’t been out shooting though as the weather has been abysmal here. A couple of weeks ago I took the Rollei SL35 out to Newcastle and discovered that although the film seemed to be winding on, the counter wasn’t moving so I wasn’t sure what was happening. Well I got 36 frames back and a couple of them are unusable, and a few have wierd goings on on them, but the rest are OK. The film I used was a Russian film called Silberra 400, and it has a nice old world feel to it.

Akenside Traders, Craft Beer & Ale pub, on Dean Street, flying the flag for Brexit.

The Quayside, with what looks like a light leak on the right.

The Millenium Bridge and more dodgy bits.

I have no idea how that last shot got like that, the wierd white lights in the sky on the left and all the dusty bits. I think I might have travelled back in time when I pressed the shutter. 🙂
