Darkroom Diana

My fella and I are making a darkroom, I have all the gear and he's talked his friends into letting us use their cellar to start building our very first darkroom. I took this photos on my mini Diana, I wasn't very experimental this time with multipule exposures etc, I just wanted to get to grips with it a bit better. Nevertheless, I really like the style of the photos...

Couple of randoms...

Just to throw them in... because I can...




Diana Mini


I bought a new toy, I couldn't REALLY afford it but it was just too good to resist. A Diani Mini, it's obviously a tiny version of the original Diana, meaning it can be used with 35mm film rather than 120. I bought it with a flash, colour gels and 5 free colour films. It's capable of taking a maximum of 72 shots on one roll of film with it's awesome half frame function, it also can be changed to a square format, i guess to give the feeling of the original Diana. So this blog contains shots from my first roll of film. It involves many many many multiple exposures, and I wasn't used to it but now I think I've figured it out so my next films should be much better! Shot on Kodak colour plus 200iso. Taken in Wollaton Park...




And London...








Return to Barcelona



Nah, I haven't been back but I am going to upload some not so good monochrome photos from the same holiday as before, with the lovely polaroid snaps...




There were loads more that I really liked but couldn't scan as they're really over exposed, I think I may have finally learnt the lesson about using high speed film in bright sunlight... It's not a great idea!!








More friends...




Where else but at the pub?! I apologise for the dust and watermarks again, I am lazy but some of them look good with it... maybe I'm kidding myself.
