Taken about a week ago on a walk I did near the south coast in Sussex. This was about 10 minutes after I got absolutely soaked by a heavy shower in the middle of an area where there was no shelter (open fields). You could see the showers moving through all around where I was, with that tell tale dark veil that extends from cloud to ground level. I was hoping I'd get back to my car without getting wet but that didn't happen! Love how the Portra film has rendered those clouds with that purple-pink quality.

Taken on a plastic late 90s Nikon AF SLR with a 24-50mm zoom lens that leaves a lot to be desired in terms of sharpness but here it did a pretty good job (perhaps it's not the lens but the photographer!). 😄 It's a camera that can be purchased for 15 or 20 quid on eBay but I absolutely love it for being so incredibly light that you can take it with you anywhere and you never feel like you are being weighed down. For anyone thinking of starting out in film photography it's a camera I'd highly recommend. Simple to use, a little pop up flash for indoor portraits, auto focus, it gives you the look of film without having to worry about manual metering and manual focussing. Sometimes, like when you're just out for a walk in a rainy field, it's nice to have that convenience.
