My pictures were taken with an Agfa Clack, shame on me but it does have a few settings. The pictures posted to the challenge are taken with the camera (bakelite, primitive thing with a curved film path (like a Kodak 127)) to compensate for the meniscus lens. Film is Fomapan because it has pronounced frame counters for the red window.

Here is one frame I could not submit because I changed the focussing to 'close'.

A scene from a similar point to one of my entries last year, but with my modified camera.
This is a camera that I have loaded with 35mm in place of the 120 roll film it was designed for.
All works well enough, but the viewfinder shows a bigger frame than I get with the narrower film, so it's a guess to get any subject where i want it.
Now, the VF is blanked off by tiny strips of black tape as I have a few guesses at the actual field of view.

Coronet Commander 2, Fomapan 200

Halina 110 camera everything fixed by design F9.5, 1/90th , 30mm focal length ( 60mm 135 equiv) and Lomography Tiger110 film.
Two stops added in development by photo Hippo as most of the Film was shot in unsuitable conditions on all three films shot. The next five were all from the first film I tried. One of my entries came from this 24 exposure film.

Another sign and an amazing story, This was shot to see if I could actually read it back from a photo shot on such a small format and low-fi camera. It impressed me !

The food takes a long time to come at this restaurant

A lovely cottage at the botom of Robin Hoods Bay, It must be a bit rough in the winter !

And last of the three films ( Lomography Tiger 110) Two of my entries came from this film.


One of Whitby's Light Houses You can go up the middle of this and stand on the Balcony, The last time I did there were two young lads with Film SLRs who seem very passionate about Film. A bit embarrassing as I was using one of those modern Filmless cameras. Yuk spit yuk !

Taken again to test best focus distance but also what Lomography Tiger 110 did with the colours H.JPG

This part of the pier was put up recently to allow you to walk on the right hand Pier ( I'm always confused as to which one is East and West, as it appears they are North and South !) One of the few places were to sun Rises and sets over the sea !

Not really the weather for Ice creams but it is a good excuse for going for a Pint in a nice warm pub ( Heat and Friendly warm)

I'll have to take the Lomography La Sardina to Specsavers and get it a pair of glasses, nothing in any shot in focus and think it has a cataract as well hence lens flare everywhere.

Many simple cameras are set up to be at their sharpest at a particular distance, or maybe none at all.

Blue "reusable" camera.

Well a shoehorn to the thread cos I'm sulking as I didn't enter the comp and have nothing else to do o_O

A shot that I've liked/remembered cos I had to rush home (on my bike) before the rain started.
