hill in houton

Kind of frustrated, I've been in the darkroom printing to get some ready for bromoils and I'm not set up properly. that's my new years resolution - to gut my "shed" and make it a much better darkroom. I probably spent most of the time clearing things out of the way and carting buckets of water and bottles of chemicals through. I also realise I haven't done very much b&w film since I started developing colour film. It's also less than 4 weeks until Christmas and I haven't even started thinking about shopping - aghhh!! This is from Monday - I parked the car at the top of the hill and walked down the other side - it gives gorgeous views over Hoy and Scapa Flow. There are loads of old wartime buildings here and I turned around at one point and the light was shining on the grass. My iphone seems to give a slight pinkish cast on the left hand side.
weird shot, very collagy, wartime buildings are cool. Get on it dude I finished Christmas shopping weeks ago, I even got the food in. I try to avoid supermarkets during December, peoples go mentals.

Love the light - the building's weird - looks like a cardboard box! I've hardly started shopping either - don't even want to think about it!

Love the gold colour and the sky looks fantastic. I've done very little for xmas, but I never do at this point so I'm not panicking yet

Fab golden tones

Amazing tones in this. The grey sky makes the land pop. Nice shot.

Love this golden colour against the dramatic skies! "Field of dreams" I've not started yet either ! Definitely panicking oops :-)

Fantastic colours and love the texture of the grass

Love the POV and color. Sort of painterly and surreal at the same time.
Haven't done a bit of shopping. One year, my brother went into a Sports Authority and said 'I'll take 15 pairs of Reeboks. Don't care what size, don't care what color'. I always thought that was brilliant.:-)
