Green and purple. 🥦🍇 Plants of Canning Dam. 🪴

So I picked up the negs yesterday and they are reasonably uniform so I think the difference in colours is from the lab scans and corrections.
Still, they look fun!

It's always a relief when you send off expired film for dev and the lab sends you back an email with links to actual files! 😂🎞️

I had a look at buying a 35mm prime AF lens for my D750 but, my god, they were expensive. Hundreds of dollars.

So instead I bought the cheapest kit lens I could find and ended up with this plastic fantastic.
35-80mm, f3.3 at 35mm, G series.
Is it loud AF? Yup
Was it a bargain? You bet! AU$90.📸

This is pretty peak #ShittyCameraChallenge 💩

The Diana Pinhole camera was accidentally stuck between 1 pinhole and 2 pinholes and apparently this is what happens when you do that. 😂

Two metal doors in a concrete building that appears to be on an angle. The top one-third of the image is blank. A pathway leading up a raised concrete pipe amongst trees. A path lined with stones leads to a small footbridge. The path has a tree shadow cast onto it. Looking along the dam wall to the sheer drop down the face of the dam.

I sent an email to David Hilliard to share my work and tell him how much I enjoyed his work and that it inspired this series.
Just got a lovely email back from him. 🥰

Hallo Foto Freunden 🥰
As promised, I'm sharing with you my recent photo series of Ratcliffe-on-Soar power station.

I plan for it to be a work in progress but this is the current state.

I posted it on Medium as I wanted to be able to weave the images and words together.

Oh dang. Apparently that's what happens when you're halfway between 1 pinhole and 2 pinholes on the Lomo Diana pinhole operator.

Le sigh
