a few days in London...

It was really great to get away from everything in life and just go away for a few days just me and my sister. We've been to London a few times before, done different things, and this time we had a little more time than previous visits. I finally got time to go to the museum to see Sutton Hoo... we didnt have time to see all the things there cuz we arrived late, but i saw Sutton Hoo.. i really like those helmets! We also visited Barbican and walked around it. It looked a bit out of place, and a bit strange haha, but it was cool, and it felt heavy.

We were pretty stoked to see Battersea power station, the fact that it was a construction site at the time we were there wasnt fun but still, its a cool building. We walked a lot all over town, and only took the subway when we had to. That underground is a bit claustrophobic with no oxygen...and why i try to avoid it. Overall, big city air is not good for the skin! I really did miss the fresh scandinavian air! I did bring 135 film and will post the photos when i have found a place here in Norway to develop them.. *updated.

freedom and happiness.

my favorite photo from the trip is this one of my sister.
thumbs up!

walked up for cloudberries.

follow the stream.

trees.

with love from fili and kili..two mountaineers.

im back from the mountains with a superia film. i only shot film while i was there and that felt liberating, i never picked up my digital. first up in the mountain series...are these photos from sisters and my walk down the classic western trail of Mt Åreskutan..we do this every year and i've posted about it before here.

and when you reach the root of the mountain.. and enter the woods.. watch out for trolls..!

we love it here

it's time for a camera update/review again.

So it is summer, which means a lot of sunlight.. as a toy camera user this is the time of year to pick it up and catch the sunrays. i have film that is about to expire i shall take this chance to try them. and yes i know it's fun to shoot expired film, but i prefer it when it isn't. developing film is very expensive here, so i usually end up shooting about 3 films/year, which, isnt a lot, but that's where i'm at right now. I've had a lot of luck with my film rolls, because most pictures have always turned out and looked good without hardly any light leaks. After 3 years of learning and testing and exploring, i have my favorite cameras that fit me very good and my favorite film to go with them:

the diana.

i added a wide angle lens, because i wanted to have the option of fitting more things into the frame, landscapes, buildings, people etc. and so far i like it. it doesn't produce as much dark corners, but that's ok. the flash doesnt really fit when the viewfinder is attached, so that's a bit annoying, but my diana flash broke after a few times, so whatever. top left is kodak portra vc without wide angle lens, top right is fuji reala without wide angle lens. bottom left is fuji reala with wide angle lens, bottom right is kodak ektar with wide angle lens.

the holga 120
i've mostly used black&white film in this, and it suits it better than color i think. i particularly like shooting stone buildings with kodak t-max. if i ever go to transylvania, i will bring my holga.

the minolta zoom 80
this camera is such a dream. i love this little one and the photos it produces. i will be so sad the day it stops working. i think my favorite film with this camera is the kodak portra nc.

the SLR nikkormat ft
this camera likes natural film. and i like them together. kodak portra ftw. this camera was my grandfathers, it was made in the 60's. i love this one, i've shot several film rolls with it already, but it is heavy to carry.
