Been a busy week, really feeling the strain juggling 3 briefs at the moment, trying to get myself into a routine at the moment, but I think I will be o.k, new experiences & Im guessing its expecting!
So first of, I borrowed a Mamiya 7ii, As iv'e always wanted to have a go & what better opportunity to do so, so I grabbed a few rolls of Fuji pro 160 NS & waited to go shoot with Danny and Ollie on an Early morning we had planned.

we shot in strood at 6 am, next to the river by the cinema, there are some fields, chalk hills, just a really cool place to explore & see whats going on.
Marked in red on the google maps is from where I photographed. there pretty standard pictures, Just wanted to get a feel for the mamiya & hit a few locations see how I felt there.
So when we finished, we headed back to mine for a quick tea before Uni opened & Jammed for a bit. Then we hit up uni to put through our rolls of film, really is the best feeling to have such a rad facility we can use when we need.
And this is what I came out with, did a few colour ajustments, cloned out some dust ect. but im fairly happy with the results ( the sunset one was a one off, not really a fan of sunsets in photographs, I'm not sure why )
Iv'e allways enjoyed shooting more in the morning, feel more freedom to work, and you get really interesting people out and about, people say good morning, everything just looks different.
I preffer the shooting in natural morning light aswell, feels alot fresher.
