Images of St Agnes taken with a Praktica TL 5B

While at home last week I used dad’s film camera to take images of St Agnes, Cornwall. The camera was a Praktica TL 5B, I was using a 50mm f/1.8 prime lens and some expired, ISO 200, 35mm colour film.

My first shot (that came out) was of Stippy Stappy, a famous landmark in the village.

St Agnes Harbour (well, what’s left of it)

And now for something completely slightly different.

Back to the sea (and cliffs)

Back home: some still life - our router and PC taken wide-open at f/1.8

Back to St Agnes Beach (Trevaunance) on another day, 19th Sept 2008, I think.

I got my feet wet after this photo, I was standing on top of the ramp down to the beach and I avoided one big wave that came a little way over; I went back to the same place only to have an even bigger wave (that I failed to escape) come and get my feet and bottoms of my trousers wet. At least it wasn’t cold but I did have to walk a few miles home with wet/sandy feet. The things I do for art… or something like that.

On the long way round to the village, up Rocky Lane then along a small footpath, there is a nice view of the sea and headlands up the coast from St Agnes.

I chose this way home as it led me past the Wheal Friendly engine house.

I wanted to take one more picture, but alas, I ran out of film. Never mind.
