film photos from the south of France

📸 I'm doing Blaugust this year. This is 6/? posts in August.

A lot of these were of my friends or me at the beach, so I can only share the ones without faces. I wrote a post about some of the things we did here.

I used Kodak 400TX for the black and white pictures and I really enjoy how they come out. Most of these pictures were taken around Vallauris and our Airbnb there. Some were taken on the beach in Nice.

For these colour pictures, I used a film from Analogue Wonderland called Same Same. It was the colour film I had available, but it was so sunny I wish I'd used Kodak Gold. I'm also not as happy with these pictures because I was desperate to use the roll up so I could get the French ones developed, so quite a few of the end of the roll are just bad... Patience!

I told myself I'd buy a better camera (still film, and still cheapish, but with some actual adjustable options for the ISO etc) after finishing a stressful project milestone at work... but I'm still procrastinating on making the decision.
