Where were these taken?

The purple tints remind me of some of the Lomography film stocks that I occasionally shoot.  Nice work!

[atam1]

thanks man, just like the old days when you get these results from Instamatic rolls- no filter needed!  Analogs are still trippy!

Love Lomography Purple.

I just don't have a working Canon 35mm SLR to use any in. I shoot mainly with Pentax and Nikon. I thought I had a pristine Canon FP, but nope. As soon as I mounted the FL lens, the spring mechanism that returns the mirror to the down position and reopens the aperture is too weak to do the job.

I wanted a Canonflex but the prices get crazy on them fast and many have either an FL or FD lens mounted which to my understanding is a no-no.

I know you and I have talked about SLRs a few times.  Still no luck on finding an inexpensive Canonflex at some grandma's yard sale?  Someone that doesn't know what they have?  Yeah, me either.  

BTW... they changed the laws.  You are allowed to use Lomography Purple in a Pentax or Nikon now!  😅👍

I will be patient. About two years ago I bought a Nikon F with a 50mm f1.4 lens in what looked like new condition for like $105 before shipping. Then an FM popped up for $80 or so and it too was is perfect condition.

I keep hoping for a Canon F1 to materialize. 

I feel like a camera historian sometimes.
