Trafalgar Square Wednesday 16th October 2019

I took these on the Wednesday16th October 2019 in Trafalgar Square. For about a week before the Extinction Rebellion  had been been gathering and protesting. I hadn't realised that they were still gathering there when I went there.

My plain was to do some street photography and architectural photography round Soho and Covent garden, but instead I ended up staying around Trafalgar Square and shooting pretty much an entire film.

Considering the amount of people there I expected the atmosphere to be more alive then it was. Police vans lined up out side the National Gallery and in front of Trafalgar Square in Charing Cross Road, as there had been problems days before. (But lets not get political here, This is about film photography)

St Mary Magdalene Church: Kodak Retinette film 003,

St Mary Magdalene Church, Holloway Road, Islington, London. (Built in 1814) 

Taken with Lomography Red scale 35mm film, with an Kodak Retinette 1A. at 125iso .

I like the orange and red tones in the picture and how the greens have been made more brown.

Covent Garden Mirrors: Olympus Trim Film 007

Film: Ilford FP4 125 ISO, 35mm

Camera: Olympus Trip 35.

Year: 2016

Location: Covent Garden, London

During 2016 Part of Covent garden Market was dress in mirrors. Partly as they were having work done and as an art installation. The mirrors created a great place to take street photos of people with out them noticing that they are being photographed.

I also have some colour photos in film and digital, which I will post. 

Tower Of London 2014: Olympus Trip Film 001.

If I remember correctly this was my 35mm film I used.

I love how it has picked up reds, they are so vibrant

Venice 2015: Olympus trip Film 003

These were taken in February 2015 at the maket in San Polo, Venice. I used an Olympus Trip 35, with Kodak colour plus 200asa (iso).

About Me

Professional, Amateur, Photographer.

I think thats the best way to describe my photography level and talent. 

I have always enjoyed taking photos when I was younger. As I got older I stopped and for a while the only photos that I took were at work of the displays and windows that I created or ones that inspired me.

Then by chance I found an old Polaroid 600, and I started shooting. 
The only down side to using Polaroid is the cost, £18 for 8 photos is a pricey hobby.

So I turned to my mum and asked if I could borrow her Olympus Trip 35, And the  journey began.

I now have a stash of colour and black and white film in the fridge (two of which are out of date).

I manly do street photography, and nature, but it is mostly just me taking photos of what I think might work. 

I do get a little anxious and self conscious when I'm out taking photos. Which I think can be seen in some of them, looking back at them now. 

Like all hobbys and skills they develop over time and practice which I can see but not as much as I hoped to see. 

I restarted using 35mm film back in 2015, its only been four years and it is not as though I'm taking photos ever day, so my improved skills don't show as much. 

I have decide to start sharing some of my photos here with the world it will be a mix of my 35mm photos, digital, and polaroid.
