hampton court, uk

our trip to grenoble got cancelled because of a surge of omicron cases in the uk, so we decided to take a trip down to the historical town of hampton court, where the majestic hampton court palace stands. acquired and developed by king henry viii in the 1500s, the palace and its surroundings still carry the regal aura of his reign.

all pictures were taken with an olympus om-d e-m5 mark iii, and edited with my own lightroom presets.

first film roll

Not too long ago, I bought my first film camera (Pentax IQZoom 90MC) online from artofcam on Carousell (the only reason why I’m giving him a shoutout is because I could tell he was very passionate about film and actually spent an hour giving me a tutorial about film 101).

Some of these shots are out of focus, others taken with the wrong settings, but I guess it’s all part of the learning experience!! Film is something I’ve wanted to try out for a long time now and I’m so glad I finally stopped making excuses and went for it. There’s a certain beauty about the wait—nowadays, pictures can be reviewed instantly upon taking them but film incites a sort of anticipation that compels you to appreciate and be excited about the little things, even just a configuration of pixels on a screen.
