Portugal seen from the Olympus lens...




















Saying Bollox to Bad Lighting and Going For It Anyway.

Like most cameras, XA2 photos taken in the dark tend to lack the beauty of those taken in fantastic light. However, throw in a few interesting /coloured lights into the space, surrender your flash, and with the unshakiest hands possible, fingers crossed you'll develop some absolute gems. Ax

Mistake.





Every so often I slip up and flip the back of the camera open before I've rewound the film. At the time I berate myself, but it does make for an exciting result-product. Ax

Everyone seems to really like Brighton. I suppose it is fine enough. Ax

Hospital








What with being magnificently clumsy myself and my loved ones being a bit daft, I manage to spend a great deal of time in various casualty waiting areas around the South East, usually in the early hours of the morning. The advantage of these visits are the additions to my hospital collection... there is always something slightly remote about a photograph taken within a hospital setting, but they capture something beautiful too.

A Cheshire barley field for you. As with most film cameras, the XA2 responds beautifully to a generous dose of natural light. Ax
