I Shoot Film : Nottinghamshire Directions

I Shoot Film : Kodak ColorPlus 200 : Pentax ME with a 28mm SMC f3.5 prime lens

We were driving between Newark and Arnold and I pulled over to take some photos of the filed on the right hand side of the frame.

I then saw this photo, the road signs, directions and the car driving towards me.

A quick focus, a quick click and here you have a lovely old school 35mm colour film image.

I think it makes for a half decent shot.

If you have an old film camera in your home then I recommend you to try some old school film photography. It's slower, more controlled and very rewarding (although it costs a bit). It took me me almost 3 months to shoot 24 exposures !

It’s a strong composition Phil.

great composition Phil - I have a couple of old cameras and some film I tried a couple of years ago - didn't load the film properly which I discovered on processing hahaha - I want to give it another go but haven't as yet

Wish I had your knowledge Phil, I had to get the camera shop to load the film for me! And then I never finished the roll:(

[Carole Sandford]

Lovely shot. I thought Newark was closer to Nottingham than 20 miles, but obviously not 🤔

[Phil Howcroft]

@carole_sandford Thanks Carole , I used to work in Newark for 6 years in the 90's , it was 20 miles from home to office , mainly along picturesque country roads ... this was part of my daily commute . We now go to Newark to visit Waitrose :)

@fbailey loading and unloading the roll is always the most tricky of jobs Maggie
