This morning I headed down to the Quay, Lymington with the intention of taking lots of colourful images of the shops. I’d loaded the Canon EOS 3 up with Portra the night before, excited to shoot some nice bright colours.
And then I woke up and looked out of the window.
Fog. Thick fog. Hmm Plan B, an impromptu stroll along part of Lymington’s Sea Wall, accpanied by the Isle of Wight ferry fog-horning past in the murk and the creepy tinkle of bits of yachts and boats in the breeze.
No, you were scared.
Proper moody vibes and somewhat eerie, every now and again a silhouette would appear from the fog, a runner getting their morning exercise.
I wasn’t sure about my choice of 160 film at this point, but the Canon was on AV mode so it’s meant to read the film speed and calculate the shutter speed depending on my aperture.
I find it hard to put my trust in the camera, that it will be able to work out what’s what, I’ve been so used to working it out from the film speed and the available light previously. It feels strange not to have to think about that, strange but not unpleasant!
