Brighton promenade

Enjoyed my first visit to Brighton. I hadn't quite expected the scale of it. Will have to return.

#holgaweek #believeinfilm

A grainy, high-contrast, black and white photo taken from inside a dilapidated seaside shelter. The perspective looks out through grimy window panes and vertical metal supports to the promenade, which has a railing and several empty benches. Beyond the benches, the sea stretches toward the horizon under a bright, cloudy sky. In the foreground, the wooden slats of a bench inside the shelter are visible, along with a faded mural or etching on the wall to the lower left, possibly of a sailboat. The image has a vignette effect and a vintage, melancholy feel.

Well...if you ask the other half she will say about £500 but not sure where she got that from (apart from its what I told her......) and this is but the tip of the iceberg.....

Decided to level up my minor interest of #photography into perhaps something bigger.

I am now the owner of a 48-year-old Soviet camera made in 1977. No batteries, no SD cards. Entirely manual and it needs film.

Entirely new world for me, but YOLO. I’m going to learn how to use it!

A film photograph of a train station platform, with an overpass in the distance. There is a lonesome person standing next to a fire hose on their mobile phone.

My word! That is is some pretty bad lurgy you have there.

Joking aside , I found the Kone to be quirky and a little cumbersome but it does produce very very nice negs and mine has certainly been reliable.

6x7 has a nice balance to it as well …. And with that rifle cocking wind-on … you can shoot all 10 shots in like 12 seconds flat !

La fotografia mostra el mur d'una granja mig cobert per l'heura. Enmig, 12 orificis rectangulars, com petites finestres, concebuts per permetre ventilació amb corrents d'aire naturals. Imatge en blanc i negre.

I can only add that I have a Koni Omega Rapid that I didn’t need and it found me on eBay and it is brilliant !

Hope this helps…..
