Thanks to a free-cycler in Bath I have got a bunch of expired 35mm film for Photosoc. As Photosoc has some film cameras I thought I would grab one and be the first to test out the film.
Picked up Photosoc’s Canon EOS 300V today (took a few pictures of it, see one below), shame the batteries are flat, they are annoyingly slightly uncommon as well, CR2 3V Lithium’s (anyone have any?).
It came with a 28-90mm lens; my plan for the first roll of film is to use my 50mm f1.4 to take portraits of people in and about town, shops/places of work etc. I shall scan and upload these once I am done, I estimate this to be around the end of next week.
If anyone else has any 35mm film lying around or something that might be useful to Photosoc please let me know!

One of the leaving cakes I made:
Made with soft brown sugar and lemon zest and juice also contained dates and some almonds.
It was pretty damn good.
Two photos of the leaving drinks at lunch…
Followed by our last evening of Pétanque this season.
Nope, look we are closer.
Rain, but it didn’t stop play.

I had planned to take more photos, but I didn’t really find anything else that took my fancy as it were.
I was inspired by this article: Calling the Shots - A Guide to Street Photography
These guys looked quite amusing, so I had to grab a photo.
She kindly let me take her picture. This wasn’t a great photo but I think I might start a project consisting of people working in shops in Bath or something along those lines.

My third loaf (well second one in an actual loaf shape, the first was circular).
Straight from the oven:
Hard (if not impossible) to tell from these photos, but it was steaming nicely when cut, I lit the background too much.
Once it had cooled slightly I cut some more and finished up some cheese and wine with it. It was pretty damn good.
mmm

Went up to Uni the other day to hand in my report etc. I also took the camera and snapped a few photos. Enjoy…
Some new part of campus still under construction.
Some shadow on some strong colour. I think it’s a wall, or it could be something else…
The underpass below “the Parade”. Separating pedestrians and vehicles.

I went for a walk late Friday afternoon after work instead of going to the gym. I was just playing with my newly arrived battery grip.
The light at this time was quite nice, the flaky purple paint attracted me to this one.
Bath Markets shot from next to the weir.
Some door to a large shed…there is a weird purple tinge to parts of this image; unsure if I like it or not.
Bokeh Mr Pigeon.
ooh just noticed this was picture 400:

Just catching up on posting photos as I have been busy with work. Still more to come, recently got a battery grip for my 40D (did I not say I have replaced my 400D with a 40D?).
Enjoy the sunset, well what was left after it had set; I missed the actual setting because I was doing the dishes…
I quite like the tree line in this shot:
I have started taking pictures of more than just the sunset once the sun has set.
Road signs anyone?

We went to the family fun day at Bath Racecourse courtesy of IPL. It rained, as expected, but it wasn’t too bad. Enjoy a few of the photos I took on the day.

I made pancakes again, I shot a few pictures of them in the strong afternoon sun.
The nice light and weather prompted me to go for a short walk.
Later that evening I went along to my favourite spot for photographing the sunset…
This one looks like a bird, maybe a Phoenix.
I like the soft glow of the bollard below as the evening light fades away…

Ok the oranges were a mistake… not my fault :p
There was also some lemon in there, it was pretty good. Next time I think the apples should go on/closer to the top.
Anyway, here are some pics of it…
Fresh from the oven.
Cutting…
Someone couldn’t wait to eat some…

Spent some of the day in Truro. The clouds didn’t look good for the Carnival in the evening.
Some flowers :)
Back to St Agnes, I am sure these signs would have confused any visitor!
The carnival itself…
We decided to go to the field where all the entrants were preparing and being judged.
The Morrisettes - The Aggie Old Girls, Merry Morris Maidens.
There were a variety of dogs walking around on two legs…
“Name? Austin Danger Powers. Sex? Yes please!”
Loving the bright colours, especially against the nice dark grey sky.
Giant bolster arising.
After this I swiftly walked back to some friends for dinner, I just got in before it started to rain quite hard…
These people however would have got quite wet.
“Where’s my food?”
“I’m still waiting.”
The morris girls as they dance in the rain.
Brightly coloured, wet fairies…
