The Holga-A-Month challenge for October was Autumn Colour. Most of October was dreadfully wet and dark. Apart from one lunchtime.

Development and scanning kindly provided by @daveinelland.bsky.social

Brighton promenade

Enjoyed my first visit to Brighton. I hadn't quite expected the scale of it. Will have to return.

#holgaweek #believeinfilm
A grainy, high-contrast, black and white photo taken from inside a dilapidated seaside shelter. The perspective looks out through grimy window panes and vertical metal supports to the promenade, which has a railing and several empty benches. Beyond the benches, the sea stretches toward the horizon under a bright, cloudy sky. In the foreground, the wooden slats of a bench inside the shelter are visible, along with a faded mural or etching on the wall to the lower left, possibly of a sailboat. The image has a vignette effect and a vintage, melancholy feel.

Decided to level up my minor interest of #photography into perhaps something bigger.

I am now the owner of a 48-year-old Soviet camera made in 1977. No batteries, no SD cards. Entirely manual and it needs film.

Entirely new world for me, but YOLO. I’m going to learn how to use it!

A film photograph of a train station platform, with an overpass in the distance. There is a lonesome person standing next to a fire hose on their mobile phone.

A dimly lit street scene in black and white, featuring a bus stop with digital display signs. Trees line the background, and the sky is overcast, giving a somber atmosphere. Streetlights illuminate the area, highlighting the empty road.
