photos from week 336 - Ilford Sprite 35

Sky-Rider
Three of the photos were grossly overexposed, they were all taken with the camera angles upwards, I can only assume that the shutter gets sticky at certain angles. This is a composite of two consecutive shots.

This indoor shot was predictably underexposed, but has just about been rescued by post-processing. The focus on this camera is fixed, and I suspect the optimum distance is somewhat further away than I was in this one.

The results from the Sprite 35 were rather disappointing, particularly at f8 and f11, I think this one was taken at f16, and the quality is better than most of the shots.

Week 336 - Ilford Sprite 35

Ilford Sprite 35
The Sprite 35 is a very chunky plastic camera from the early 1960s. It has a fixed focus lens and a single shutter speeds, but three apertures, f8, f11 and f16. Unusually for a 35mm camera, the sprocket holes are not used to wind the film on.

Guggenheim Museum, Bilbao
As a change from the joiner collages, this is three separate frames taken inside the Guggenheim Museum.

More photos from Bilbao, this time of the iconic Guggenheim Museum.

Iglesia San Jose, Bilbao
This is certainly a cheap and cheerful camera, with rather poor image quality. Rather than attempt to take decent snapshots, I decided to have fun with simple joiner images. This is the Cathedral in Bilbao.
