Snatched Shots

Our last weekend was busy. My youngest son and his friends visited. I got little time for photography. Just some snatched shots.

The sun shone and we sat outside glorying in the warmth. I even spent a day clearing up the rest of the fallen tree branches and having a bonfire.

On Saturday morning I took the Yashica with me as I walked down to the river in the early light. I shot off most of a roll of HP5. Too fast for the bright sun really and I wished I had some PanF in the camera. Loading the film last weekend and not using it till this weekend was the problem. One advantage of digital is the ability to choose a different film speed between shots. No concept of having to change film.

I also finished off the roll of HP5 in the F3 so I have two rolls to process this weekend.

Right now I am thinking of the weekend and the weather and what I might photograph. I put some PanF in the F3 so I will try and take some shots with this. I also ordered some Delta 100 because I pretty much just have PanF 50 and HP5 400 in 35mm. With the brighter days I need something in-between.

If the light is right, and I get up early enough, I will try and capture the bluebells in the woods. I could do this on digital or with the Ebony and some Velvia 50... who knows? Here's one of last year's shots with the Bluebells and some Greater Stitchwort.
