Tenby again … One Camera, Two rolls of film … Kodak Ektar & Lomography CN800 …

We managed a short break to Tenby back in the Whitsun holidays which I blogged here https://timdobbsphoto.com/2021/07/30/short-tenby-break-on-lomo-cn400-cn800/ where I took numerous cameras and film but didn’t use most of them.

So when we returned to Tenby for our Summer hols I decided to just take one camera and less film choices .. my Pentax ME Super with the 28mm f3.5 & 50mm f1.7 along with some Kodak Ektar & Lomo CN800.

The weather was pretty great with only a few hours each day where it was a bit overcast, the majority of the days were in glorious sunshine.

When we came home I sent the films off to Filmdev who did a great job with the scans as usual.

Luckily I shot most of the Ektar on the first day with was probably the brightest day by far as you will see here …

Steam Trains…….

I have been going through the photographs I took recently on our holidays to Butlins, Minehead.

We popped along to the West Somerset Railway where there were various old steam trains, it felt like going back in time as we walked along the platform .

I am not a train fan or anything but it was great when I asked the driver if I could get aboard the engine and take some shots and he was  very happy for me to do so.

I processed these in Aperture and used HDR efex plugin to try to extract the detail out of the shots (single raw files not bracketed)

Here is a link to the railway…  http://www.west-somerset-railway.co.uk/
