Weekly Photo Challenge – RENEWAL

I just have to tell you the story behind these photos!

Late this summer I was invited to my aunt’s husbands 80-years party. I have to admit I wasn’t quite overwhelmed with joy over it. Don’t get me wrong, I love my aunt and her husband, they are very very kind and easy going people, but a 80-years party ( I thought..)….. Well…..

As I hate indoor photography I was hesitating about what camera to take, and how to do it, if doing it at all…

Well, I thought that IF I was to take a camera with me at all, it would be for doing something completely new. So I decided on my little Lomo LC-A with the nice Colorsplash flash and Kodak T-Max 100. The camera is syncronizing at the second curtain, so I thought that it could perhaps make some interesting images.

What I not in my wildest imagination had considered was that these folks was NOT just sitting still on a chair… hehe…

There was a liveband playing rock music, and these “oldies” were practically dancing with an energy I might have had when I was in my thirties. I and my cousins were the youngest people there and we were totally stunned, I promise you…

My 100 ISO film was not a good choise at all, I definitely would have needed 400 speed….

At the late evening when I was leaving, my aunt hugged me and said, – Oh, you just wait until next year when I turn 70, then we’ll have a PARTY!! 😀

I left, totally renewed, (never been happier being totally wrong,) and I think my indoors flash photos were quite good too…..

ENJOY!! 🙂

It’s cold outside……

Cold, grey and rather ugly. The weather in Sweden today. I even saw the first snow.

So, instead of mourning, just look at these, and feel that warm nice feeling of summer days 🙂

Remember this post? No? Have a look then… Here….. These are actually taken at the same time, but they lay in a little filmbox that had gone astray. I found them just the other day.

Enjoy, and feel warm inside! 🙂

Serenity with my Wista by the sea

I had almost given up the for the day….. So very gray, no light at all, not for photographing the beautiful autumn colors that was almost gone, which was my target for the day, and I knew I just had a few days left before the colors were gone….

When I sat there at the rocks by the sea, actually the same rocks as in this post, pondering over what I should do, I realized that I had my film holders to my Wista loaded with excellent black and white film!

At that moment I saw the image!
