Last year Lomography came to Brighton and let us play with their various cameras and film. I settled on the LCA and a red scale film. By accident, my local photography shop played around with the colour, as they didn’t realise the film that I used. I quite like what they’ve done.
Fab pics Sarah – I especially like the merry-go-round and reflection pics x
Thanks Delia. I love those kids on the merry-go-round. Very cheeky!
Wow I love it. I had a similiar thing happen when I tried to print a black and white picture once. I didn’t realize my ink was low on black so it substituted different colors for it. Looked a little like these actually…
Thanks very much
I like happy accidents when they turn out like this. Interesting idea to substitute your ink for different colours.
Great pictures! Good job! Keep doin’ what you like!
I am not familar with analogue photography. Thanks for sharing!
Neat! I spent the first half of the year studying in Brighton and seeing these shots just makes me smile. Wonderful place and stunning photos (even if the color was an accident!) – thanks for sharing!
Brighton is an awesome place.
BEAUTIFUL PHOTOS. What a great mistake to have made the photos turn out amazing still! especially love the last shot.

That’s the beauty of film – you never know what you’re going to get! I was very lucky with this role of film
you got some great looks here
Very cool.

Great pics. Did you have them scan it, or did you scan it yourself? I’ve moved back to using a bit of film, but nothing too fancy yet… keep up the good work!
Thanks
I got it developed at my local photo shop and got them to scan them onto a disk for me. I should really buy a scanner. It would save me a fortune! Let me know how your film experiments go.
I love the effect the color has on your subjects–takes the shots from ordinary to anything but.
Thanks. It does make you look again. It’s the first and only time I’ve tried the red scale film. Must try it again…
I love your photos. If you love poetry, please comment on my recent one on my page please. Im new to this and thank you.
what is that “thing” in the water?
still… moody apocalyptic photos, eh? maybe i can paint the chip in my cheeep digital camera reddish …
It’s the carcass of the West Pier which got burnt down a few years ago. I’m sure you can get the same effect if you Photoshop your photos
Looks great. Did they print b&w negative on color-print paper?
Cheers. I shot it on Lomography’s red scale film, which makes it look orange anyway. As far as I know, my local photo shop developed and printed it as a colour film. As the helpful developer hadn’t really seen this before, he tried to correct it. I think he did a good job.
These are so vibrant! Love them.
Thanks Ashley
wow, sensational photo’s, you have really captured a unique feel here, it feels like a fun easy going story on Brighton beach.thanks for sharing ;0)
Your shots are amazing! Oh I love all of them.
beautiful, looks like the sky is on fire..
Great shots.
Gorgeous! Love the colors and the atmosphere in the pictures!
Pictures say a thousand words. Love the vintage feel
What wonderful photos, the yellow colours are gorgeous and feel feel really warm and made me smile
I lived near Brighton and spent most of my childhood there. Seeing the pier and sea front, even after so many years and visiting it on rarer occasions (after moving away due to uni/work), is always a treat and I always enjoy a walk along the seafront (I proposed to my wife in front of the West Pier!). These photos have turned out brilliantly, great to see it in a different light (excuse the pub!)!
Thanks for your comment. Where did you live? I was over East Sussex way, and like you, have spend many, many days there. There’s something about the West Pier that’s really sad – but is very much an icon of Brighton now. I remember when it was burnt down and parts of the pier was being washed up on the beach. Obviously it holds very special (happy!) memories for you.
I lived in a small town south of Tunrbidge Wells (about 20 minutes from Lewes). I was at school when the pier burnt down, we could see the smoke from it (we were very clsoe to the seafront). I was too young to appreciate it, but as I’ve grown older and heard more about the pier it kind of makes you miss it, considering it was purely designed as a theatre. The West pier is nice, but dosent have the same appeal as the East one once did.
Then theres the Palace Pier, and I doubt think theres anyone around who remembers that one!
I know Tunbridge Wells – very nice! From time-to-time I also worked in Lewes for bit. It is a shame about the West Pier, but it’s way beyond repair now.
The Palace Pier is still around though – it’s the working one near Madeira Drive. That’s a fun place to go down and photograph.

A beautiful blend of fun, photography and magic!
I never saw it like that. I like it
Great shots!
Beautiful photos!
Great shots and the outcome of the “mess-up” was awesome. It’s funny how sometimes some of our coolest photos come from accidents.
