One photo to rule them all, one photo to find them, One photo to bring them all, and in the lightroom bind them
I somehow like an idiot agreed to do a hike with some friends which I could barely have done with me being completely fine. With a broken ankle this was a fool’s errand. I gave up an hour into it and then spent 6 hours walking around the Ulswater Lake and got some great photos. Very happy with my decision and the result.

This was me going a bit overboard with using the film camera. The objective was mostly to understand but I think you can see that the photos are getting better over time. All taken with Kodak UltraF9 with 400 ISO film.

I was bored of my regular camera so picked up a very cheap film camera to play around with, this is the very first batch of photos where I made a lot of mistakes but got a few photos well. All Taken on a Kodak UltraF9 with 400 ISO Film

A very early Christmas celebration before people disappeared to their holiday plans. My lack of Christmas sweater has been pointed out to me enough that I do not need more people telling me this. I will buy one this year.

If you scroll down or use the bookmarks you will see a photo from 30th March from a friends house in SF, this is the other side of the view. Hate them for this view. The hazy tower thing is Coit Tower.

A very very windy boat ride in the San Francisco Bay to go under the Golden Gate Bridge. I have been to that city way too many times now and I still think I haven’t managed to take a really great photo of the Bridge. One day fingers crossed

Got a new, super compact Fuji XF 18mm f/2 lens. Really wanted to prove to myself that the investment was worth it as with a more compact system I will carry the camera everywhere and it will be all worth it. After almost giving up at not finding a single photo eventually managed to catch this cool building around Exmouth market. Little bit of lightroom correction and I think I got a cool photo.

Sitting around waiting for our order to arrive was hell bent on taking a cool photo of the candle. This is the best I could come up with.

This was my umpteenth time at London Bridge with a camera. No idea why I took it along, presumably to make myself feel less guilty about not taking photos. Surprisingly came back with my best photos ever from the South Bank. We learn 2 big lessons from this - 1. Guilt is a great motivator 2. A great photos is a 5% skill and 95% coincidence + luck

At some point of a very blurry night. The biggest takeaway was the successful integration into the Romanian gang.
