Dave’s retro life

Kemble train station again, I’m being lazy about scanning those negatives I developed so still posting pics from the first strip!

That’s a beauty - love the art deco logo!

Another splash of green to brighten up this dull weather we’re having!

A cool metal thing at a #railway station!

I’m learning how to process colours and I’m not super good at it (plus I’m a bit colour blind!) but because of that I’m sometimes stumbling on these weird colour splits that are quite fun and atmospheric

Here’s the secret object from yesterday. Even though I couldn’t get the roller and the horizon to agree on what’s straight, I love the atmosphere in this one. I always shoot these rusty old cricket things when I see them!

All sorted now thanks to Jack and Paula ❤️

Badly exposed and brought up in post, but I like the way it looks like something from a shipwreck. Can you guess what it really is? (I’ve photographed these before!)

Hey, I've preordered and although I'm getting 'coins' emails I didn't get a confirmation email for my order, my order isn't showing up on my account on commodore.net, and the contact us page on there doesn't work (and no direct email address anywhere that I can see). Help me out please?

Some lush analogue colours to help #film lovers remember what summer looks like!

I don’t know about reposting so just gonna post it again to add #AlphabetChallenge #WeekWForWindows

Olympus OM4, Kodak ColorPlus, home developed

Same spot as I posted a phone snap a while ago, so that’s fun to see a comparison

I finally found the courage to have a go at developing #colour #film. Turns out it was no more difficult than B&W and there was no reason to be scared. So now I have plenty of photos to share for a while!

Aw thanks Mark! It’s a lovely forest and the colours are wonderful right now!

Just a simple #autumn moment. #snapshots #hipstamatic

Just another #hipstamatic phone #snapshot from the world’s prettiest #Railway #Station in Kemble, near Cirencester, because I’m still prioritising other things over developing new rolls of film!

When I visited the famous #railway #station at #Kemble I took a load of photos with the OM4 but I seem to be too nervous to get around to developing my first rolls of colour film and keep finding excuses not to do it. So here’s a #hipstamatic #snapshot #blackandwhite #photo I snapped on my phone!

A shot I wouldn’t dare take on a digital camera!

It’s a beauty. It’s a bit fussy about how you load the film though - double check the rewind arm is turning when you advance, maybe practise with some cheap or out of date film. If you’re an expert obviously you can disregard my advice :) but I did waste one film and tear a second before I got it.

Summer berries

I think the owner of the house has bought it and put it out as a curiosity to be honest, but it does look cool in person, another one to get a colour pic of some day

A really old post box!

A little splash of #colour from a walk by the #lake

Testing depth of field on this wiry old fence post.

Maybe I’ll try to find this one again with some colour film in the camera!

I think books have the same effect on his brain as they do on mine! 😴

Cool old bike I saw on my walk low on the hill.
