Bristol in Superia 200

The first shots from my Canon A1, taken around my hometown of Bristol using Fujifilm Superia 200 35mm film.

Khaki Season

'Khaki', 'military', or 'olive' green, whichever Pantone you want to go with; This colour is a killer this season!! Featured across many SS'15 contemporary designer collections including: Virgil Alboh's 'Off-White', Jerry Lorenzo's 'Fear of God' and Our Legacy's 'Splash'. Have a little look at what I pair these green shades with and be sure to pick some up just in time for our longed for summer...

My new, but not so new Canon A1

I recently invested in the Canon A1, as I wanted a more advanced and premium 35mm film camera. So eventually, after playing around and testing a few old film SLR cameras, I bought this old Canon from eBay with a great 50mm prime lens with a large aperture of 1.4f, which is perfectly suited for the types of shots I’m trying to capture. As previously mentioned, I have always loved film cameras and what they can produce. I have always had fun using various vintage 'point and shoot' and range finder cameras, but I've been really wanting a fully manual SLR to use with film for a while. As well as film, I’ve always had a working digital SLR on hand if I've ever needed to use digital. I feel most of us are subject to having gained some knowledge of digital cameras, whether that be on simple compact cameras or SLR's. As time and technology has progressed, it feels like film has been forgotten somewhat, so below I have comprised a brief outline on the ins and outs of both formats for those wanting to understand more, with a slight hint of bias towards my current obsession for film.

Temperamental weather & Terrycloth

In this transitional weather period, the weather man can't decide if we've got rain or sunshine. I've been leaving the heavy coats and thick jackets at home, but its not quite short sleeve weather just yet, so this Terrycloth towelling is a good piece to keep in the warmth whilst being loose and breezy...
