Widnes Pop 9.

For many high streets out of town developments present a challenge. This does not seem to have been a problem in Widnes. It was decided to place such a development right next to the town centre. This bought free parking and lots of it.

Whilst the old town centre still contains it's fair share of charity shops there is room for independents and whilst taking these photos I popped in to an old fashioned cafe attached to a fish and chip shop. It was heartening to see it full and thriving.

Lomography built a reusable disposable camera loaded with its Metropolis film

The simple use reloadable camera has a 31mm fixed lens, a shutter speed of 1/120 second, a fixed aperture of f/9 and a built-in flash. (Lomography/)

There is a charming lo-fi quality that comes with shooting with a disposable camera—the major drawback of course is that you’re limited to the single roll of film that comes pre-loaded inside. Reloadable cameras that mimic the plastic disposable party cameras have been on the market for a while now, but this one comes pre-loaded with a roll of Lomography’s funky LomoChrome Metropolis film.

The simple use reloadable camera has a 31mm fixed lens, a shutter speed of 1/120 second, a fixed aperture of f/9 and a built-in flash. The camera also features three colored gels that can slide over the flash for adding a pop of color to the frame. The film has a sensitivity range from 100-400 ISO and can be developed with standard C41 color processing. Once you’ve shot through the pre-loaded roll, you simply pop open the back of the camera and load in a new one. We don’t expect this little camera to have the kind of longevity that a traditional film point-and-shoot might have, but being able to run a few additional rolls through it is certainly appealing. Check out Lomography’s guide for swapping out film rolls here.

The LomoChrome Metropolis simple use camera is available now for $23.

Cheery photoshoot. Pop 9. Expired Truprint 200.

Whilst this blog is dedicated to my analogue and lomo photography I do own a DSLR and use it on occasion. (Quite often my lomo and toy cameras get much more attention.)

Whilst out on a photoshoot with Merseyside based singer-songwriter Cheery I took a few snaps on my Pop 9.

Pop 9. Expired Truprint 200.

It is always fun to load and shoot on the Pop 9. It is also the camera that gets me the most funny looks as it is blatantly a toy camera.

On this occasion I had loaded it for a particular purpose but had some frames left over after. In order to use them I took photos of random trees for no reason other than to finish the roll.

Shooting a roll in two cameras. Pop 9 and Lomo LC-A.

It has been over a year since I blogged about "film swaps" whereby one snapper shoots a roll of film, respools it and sends it to another person to shoot. This got me thinking, why send it off when I have more than one camera.

These were shot on a Pop 9 and a Lomo LC-A. I cannot remember which camera I shot with first.

Promo shots for John Witherspoon. Pop 9

In my other life using a digital SLR I do a lot of shooting at gigs. On two occasions I have taken publicity shots for a local singer-songwriter called John Witherspoon. Last time I took my Pop 9 and a Holga.

Road trip. Pop 9.

Two things I really value are my freedom and my car. I am fortunate in that if I do have a day off work and no commitments I can just get in my car and drive. I do not need to consult anyone, obtain any permissions or explain myself. I can just go.

Last week was such a day. I filled up the tank, checked the tyre pressure and left Liverpool with the intention of having lunch near Hollingworth Lake. My logic? I had driven past it whilst returning home from another random day out and thought it looked nice.

Return of the Pop 9.

I have not shot with the Pop 9 for a long time. The flash no longer works therefore I am limited to outdoor shooting where there is a lot of light. Sadly most of these plastic Lomography cameras suffer the same issues. Sometime I worry I will not get a replacement if this one decides to give up the ghost.

Widnes Vikings. Pop 9. Expired Truprint 200.

I have been going to see Widnes Vikings since I was about ten years old. Earlier this year I want on my own to watch us beat Barrow Raiders.

The DCBL Stadium is much nicer than when i was a kid and the result was exactly what I wanted. I am hopeful for next season.
