Happy Worldwide Pinhole Photography Day!
The lomography camera has not been used since the first time we used it months ago. But here's my favourite photo from that session... put up to celebrate the simplest form of photography today! You may have seen it (and other shots) before on my Facebook.

Jamie on double exposure B&W taken using a pinhole camera.
Not bad for a first timer, I think.
But I have been playing with a film SLR camera and just got the 36-film roll developed recently (kids, ask your parents). It's quite fun: there's no delete button, no viewing screen, no photo info and there's no on/off button. Not as close as pinhole camera simplicity but it is still a hardwork to handle it on my own. How do you know you're on the right ISO and not out of focus when the results will only be known after a visit to the printing shop? Thankfully, I have a pro in the house to teach me all the basics. Here are some of the results:

Apart from the last image, I think I'm getting there. I haven't got the chance for more interesting stuff because I am still quite nervous about getting the ISO right. Or even putting the film roll inside the camera. But as long as I have the Olympus SLR in my possession (did I mention that it is a loan from my lovely friend Jo? Love you long time, Jo), I will continue learning to use it and will one day probably stop asking Jamie 'Err... what does this button do again?'.
Right. Time for bed. I am going to spend my extra day off tomorrow by recuperating from an 18 mile training run I did today. The last time I couldn't feel my legs like today was after my Berlin marathon last year. It's 4 weeks exactly until my next marathon in Edinburgh and I'm actually looking forward to it and the full body massage I've booked the day before the run. Until next time, enjoy the rest of your long Easter weekend and soak up all the sun!

P/s A couple of seal sightings in front of the house today. How exciting.
