You never want anything to go wrong with your film or camera but on the rare occasion it does it can produce some wonderful results. This next series of images are from the same day as a previous set (Calton Hill) but from a different camera, my Yashica Electro 35 GT. About halfway through the roll I felt something go wrong but kept shooting anyways. Turns out the film wasn't advancing properly so the frames ended up overlapping in really interesting ways. These are the happy accidents that were produced. I think they look really cool.

Aberlady Bay
This next series of images are from when my Mum and I went for an afternoon walk along Aberlady Bay. In 1952 it became the UK's first Local Nature Reserve. All images were taken with my Contax G2 and Kodak Ektar 100 except for the last two which were taken with my Konica Pop and Fujicolor C200.
Loved the way the shadows fell on the bridge.
Beautiful view on what was a beautiful day. I feel this one really shows how great a film stock Ektar is, such great colours.
Been trying my hand at shooting some minimal stuff here and there. I feel like my eye for seeing those kind of compositions out in the world is improving.
A lone swan.
Another minimal landscape. I love shots like this.
To finish off this set of pictures from Aberlady Bay I'm going to post a couple from a quick test roll I shot on my Konica Pop. The Konica Pop is about as "point and shoot" as they come with fixed focus and exposure. The pictures it produces tend to have a lovely soft, lo-fi look to them.
The Town On T-Max
Following our little jaunt up Calton Hill, my Mum, Dad, Auntie and I went a walk around the outskirts of the city centre. I felt this was a good opportunity to load my Contax T2 with Kodak's T-Max 100 and try to shoot some street photography/architectural stuff. T-Max is a black and white film that I was really looking forward to trying and I'm glad to say it delivered. Possibly my favourite black and white film I've used thus far.
