Not in our house!!!

I'm surprised nobody has commented on the fact that 'Lomography' isn't exclusive to the Lomo camera.

In the article mention is given to the Lomo brand and it's (expensive) camera range.

I've often been tempted by 80/90s compacts in charity shops, that's where I get a lot of cameras, and have indeed bought several 'oddballs'

The problem with these cameras is invariably the cost of film and developing can be several times the cost of the body, making a quick experiment, suddenly, very expensive.

I have dropped lucky on one or two occasions, but by and large they ended in failure.

B&W film, easy to home develop, doesn't give the results people want from this type of photography, but does let you try a camera out. That has at least saved me some time and cost.

The one very good thing about Lomography is, as Kris stated early in this thread, that it's perpetuating film, allowing us to still enjoy our older equipment.

Good excuse Gareth.

When do you collect the new beast, and will we see any photoset..

....oh wait a minute..

....you might have to buy a Pe...

OK, catching up time...

...well done Gareth,I'd have gone for the manual model, larger engines have more grunt throughout the range..

.......I hate spill chuckers, my phones productive taxing can be a pain in the ears..

... and I'm on the second bottle of Adnams Lighthouse...

....................cheers!

Thanks John

OK, so we've done Selby, and now Romford, where else can we say we're glad we're not?

And I don't mean work Spider or Greynolds....

Got it in one, she takes better pictures than me...

....and here's one of spider.

Here's a turn around, I've been struggling with a heavy cold for the last few days...

....Mrs HG now has it....

..............and it's hit her like 'man flu'

still, shouldn't laugh...

We didn't have time for the Abbey, that would be the only reason to go back.

Unfortunately I can't do the camera fair, shortage of funds and all that...

....maybe next time...

Well, we visited Selby today...

.....and I can confidently say we won't be going back.

Not in a hurry anyway.

I thought Bradford was bad, but Selby is worse.

It's clean, there's a good community feel, but the shops are..

...interesting(?)...

.....and being one of the youngest in a cafe didn't help!

I can't put my finger on what was wrong, I only know it wasn't the sort of place we're likely to go back to.

Beer open and poured...
