While at home last week I used dad’s film camera to take images of St Agnes, Cornwall. The camera was a Praktica TL 5B, I was using a 50mm f1.8 prime lens and some expired, ISO 200, 35mm colour film.

My first shot (that came out) was of Stippy Stappy, a famous landmark in the village. My actual first shot was of the box that the film came in, but, it only half came out. It wasn’t print it or put on the CD, it was just on the thumbnail printout.

St Agnes Beach (Trevaunance)

St Agnes Parish Church

A few from/of St Agnes Beach (Trevaunance)

St Agnes Harbour (Well what’s left of it)

And now for something completly slightly different.

Back to the sea (and cliffs)

Some pictures from Watergate Bay

Back home: router + PC @ f/1.8

Back to St Agnes Beach (Trevaunance) on another day, the 19th Sept 2008 I think.

I got my feet wet after this photo, I was standing on top of the ramp down to the beach and I avoided one big wave that came a little way over; I went back to the same position only to have an even bigger wave (that I failed to escape) come and get my feet and bottoms of my trousers wet. At least it wasn’t cold but I did have to walk a few miles home with wet/sandy feet.

Anyway, more photos…

On the way up to the village (well the long way round, up Rocky Lane then along a small footpath) there is a nice view of the sea and various headlands up the coast from St Agnes.

I chose this way home as it led me past the Wheal Friendly engine house.

I did want to take one more picture after this, but alas I ran out of film. Never mind.

I finally got some batteries for the Canon EOS 300V the other day, so I shall endevour to take 36 portraits this week and get the film processed… maybe it will take longer than a week. It depends on how I go about taking the photos; if they are all of different, random people, it will take a while.
