I actually just joined this forum as it is my intention to only take analogue pictures at Silsden on 1/2 September. However, the digital pros amongst you have nothing to worry about as I am a very amateur Lomo picture taker. While I will be giving my old Yashica FX-D a day out with colour film I will also be hoping to make use of my Diana and Spinner. If the weather is nice and sunny I will also run a roll or two of 20+ year old colour film through my old 120 folding camera. I might even try a movie with my Lomo Kine, hand cranked at around 6 fps. Hardest part of the weekend will be getting there. It is all up hill from where I live, and I can just see the moor from home. While not a trials fanatic I do know what it is all about, a bit difficult not to living where I do! I think the last trial I took some pictures on was a Scott trial around 1992, 120 slides on an aged Rollie. Rode up from Bradford on my Honda 90 (looked like a bike, not the step thru version) Finally I do not do analogue because I am a digital cave man. I do it because I enjoy using the older style cameras. A bit like being a classic trials rider on an older bike. Negatives are always scanned and edited on Photoshop elements. I do not miss the enlarger, I also do have a couple of small digitals, one a Sony bridge type that actually photographs large negatives rather well in macro mode. Use an old enlarger arm acquired at a boot fair and one of those cheap cinema type displays as the background. Useful for 120 as my flat bed film scanner only copes with 35mm. 120 has to be done in two passes and then stitched together using the panorama feature of Elements. Works well, cannot see the joint at all. I have uploaded one picture of my MZ Skorpion, which I still have in Scotland about 12 years ago. I was on my way to Applecross after camping en route near Oban. TheSSDT was on that weekend, and the weather was as in the picture all weekend too.
