In dire need of a bit of R&R, some inspiration and a birthday treat, the boy and I headed off to lovely Southwold for a weekend break. For a change of creative tact we went armed with “How to be an explorer of the world” by Kerri Smith and no less than four different cameras – a Fuji Instax, a digital camera each and the Diana Mini.
These are the best of our Fuji Instax shots. To get ourselves in full explorer mode and to avoid the usual seaside photographic cliches, we set nine photographic themes. Here are the best shots from each theme…
A breath of fresh sea air!
(Pictures taken on the Diana Mini using red scale negative 35mm film to follow as soon as I’ve had them processed!)

Lovely pictures – so much better than my various holiday snaps of Southwold. A beautiful place and you’ve captured some great images of it.
Fab post, loving all of that delicious blue!
Nice photos Katie. I still haven’t managed to use an entire roll of film. Am jealous of you.
Fabulous pics, love the different categories you proposed and 4 cameras – Brilliant. So inspiring
Fab photos katie…Especially the gorgeous blue tones….very nostalgic of the sea right now 😉
You have captured the very essence of Southwold! I love the place…we go with my husband’s family every Easter…all 15 of us…and I can’t wait! I am looking forward to it even more having seen your fab pictures.
Thanks so much for everybody’s lovely comments on our pics! Quite pleased with them, although credit must go to my lovely husband who took half of them, and to Kerri Smith’s ‘How to be an explorer of the world’ for providing our inspiration.
Have a lovely sunny weekend!
