Floating and Tiny Me!

On holiday in Gairlochy, near Fort William, the weather was unbelievably bad with winds up to 131mph, destroying really old trees in the area. It was really fortunate that my brother and I went for a walk near this tree a couple of days before it was blown down.



Being trapped in the cabin was far from boring. I was so relaxed on this holiday that I decided to take some experimental shots and work with photoshop elements to prepare myself for some ideas I've previously had for images.
I didn't have my mouse with me so the touchpad had to suffice. The final results are therefore not great. However, now that I know roughly what I'm doing I'm going to plan how to make my original ideas work.



Please excuse my rubbish pose and facial expression but I had to run up onto my chair and throw a 'floating' pose that wouldn't look like I just jumped in the air in the space of the 10seconds that my timer allowed me.

25mm Negative Film

During a DIY stint in my old flat I came across one slide of tiny 25mm negatives.

I would like to imagine the film came from the "Kiev-4AM Soviet Russian 25mm Film Camera Kiev-4" (or similar) but I will take the film in to college to let my lecturer have a squint.



I wonder where the pictures were taken and how long ago.
