burnt embers

This post is the fourth in a series of tests of LomoChrome film. See the first post for more details on my methods in this test.  Today’s post concentrates on nature in the forested and bushy areas around Swan Lake, and also a couple of shots in Beacon Hill Park. While on this walk around the lake and boggy edge, I was accompanied by two dolls made of Swamp Kauri  – they posted about their explorations in another blog (though none of them are purple).

There is a bit more variety in the natural colours in today’s post – more yellows especially, and some bright and contrasty light, but mostly softer overcast light or shade. Also, there are some red mittens that stayed red, and some red berries that did not. There is the one and only example of a person’s face to see how the film handles skin tones, which in this instance it did very well.
