Contact

Took my film in to the nice lady at Shades last Thursday, picked it up today.
Had it developed and a contact sheet done, hopefully I'll get time to print some off at college on Thursday evening.
Most are at Shoreham, all taken with the Chinon.

Oh it was a roll of the Acupan 800 that I got free off of Freecycle, I exposed it at 200 though and had the lab do their stuff accordingly. She was cursing me though as it was such an old film she couldn't find any info on it so had to wing it. Looks like it came out okay though.

Alright Tone

Had a go at toning prints at college on Thursday just gone.
Quite good fun.
This is Wisley House, the original print was a bit darker and contrasty but the chemicals in the dye bleach it a bit.
I thought it was a bit on t he arty farty side of what I consider that photo developing should be but it was quite good fun. Probably easier to do in Photoshop mind.

More Surrey Crete

Following a tip off from a former local skater, of this place having a "twin" I went to visit it this morning and sure enough it does...



Slightly overgrown and neglected but there all the same. Dimensions seem identical too.

I did find this pool to in the vicinity.



About 18" deep, nice transition, proper coping. Unfortunately it's in the grounds or a nursery school and looks as though they've resurfaced it with soft playground material. Oh and there are CCTV cameras pointing at it.

A-Wing Escort

One the Kooks (Lonnie) spotted this US Ford Escort parked up outside Grand Haven skatepark.

Abandoned?

Spotted this fixie in Woking last week, it's in a sorry looking state.
Was still there this week when I took this photo.
Locked to the railings but why would anyone leave it there?

Might have to ask in the shop it's outside if they know who it belongs to, or go into town one night with some bolt croppers...

Glug Glug Glug

Found this today.

Tesco Fiery Cola *with a hint of Chilli*

Will report back on how it is.

Nom Nom Nom

This stuff is good.
Best (shop bought) Chilli Chocolate I've tasted, better than Hotel Chocolate and Lindt's Chilli ones.

On special offer in Waitrose too.

Close Up

Jellyhead with a near fisheye grind, will have to try that again but with the camera pointing in the right direction.

Surrey 'crete

Those Sussex boys thing they've hit the jackpot with Shoreham but look what we've got here in Surrey



Just over 1m wide and about 17m long with a dog-leg.



Detail of the non-bowl, about 3m across



And yes it is a skateboard facility cos it says so on the sign



It's about 6 miles from Mullet Mansion in Ottershaw, I bet I know someone who'll be gutted they didn't bring a board with them when they were working just around the corner recently...

Jump Ramp

Saw this on the kOoKs site, it's from http://sorcery118.blogspot.com/, looks fun.

Cheap Beer

Picked up some bottles of this yesterday, €0.90 a 66cl plastic bottle.
Dunno what it tastes like yet mind.

Kawasaki Daps

Saw these daps today.
