Hastings May Day festivities centre around their Jack in the Green procession! We were so lucky to have our trip that weekend it wasn't planned but bloody fortuitous! Hastings is known for its fishing fleet - the Stade is a shingle beach home to Europe's largest fleet of beach launched boats. They are hauled out of the water onto the beach after each trip and are as such required to be less than 12m in length. #analog #filmisnotdead #shootfilm #film#35mmphotography #filmphotography…

Hankies UP!! This time a grown up Morris dancer. We saw goth Morris dancers traditional ones steampunk ones all sorts. Right laugh. #analog #filmisnotdead #shootfilm #film#35mmphotography #filmphotography #filmcamera #filmphoto #filmstagram #filmforever #filmcommunity #35mmers #35mmfilm #lovefilm #analogphotography #analogvibes #analogfilm #morrisdancing #parade #mayday #mayday2017 #maydayparade

Undoubtedly one of my favourite photos from the Beluga IIs expedition around the coast of Scotland and its not nautical in any way. This highland cow came over the hill toward me and at just the right moment the birds flew over as if to frame her on purpose. It was one of those photos I knew I loved before the shutter even closed. It was so dark already and there was salt water all over my lens Im surprised it came out at all. When people see it printed so many ask if its an owl - what did…

The light leaks from this roll of film are so delicious. Heres the a couple of islands from the Shiant Isle archipelago. #filmisnotdead #shootfilm #filmphotography #filmstagram #filmcommunity #35mm #lovefilm #analogphotography #sailing #boat #endoceanplastics #ocean #sky #sunset #belugaii

The westernmost island of the Small Isles is Canna. With a couple of dozen residents a small cafe (@cafe_canna) and an honesty shop for residents and sailors passing through its one of the best places Ive ever been. I showered there it cost a pound and was utter bliss after several days of just flannel scrub downs onboard (navy style). Heres @willrose_photo & expedition coordinator Grant off kayaking toward some seals which I think promptly sodded off. #filmisnotdead #shootfilm…

My bunk. I slept so well in this bed the porthole has the most distinct smell of salt and copper that I cant imagine smelling anywhere but there. My cabin backed onto the galley which we handy as cook. #filmisnotdead #shootfilm #filmphotography #filmstagram #filmcommunity #35mm #lovefilm #analogphotography #sailing #boat #endoceanplastics #belugaii

Grant working hard at the lovely @cafe_canna - we spent over 4 days alongside the harbour wall in Canna and whilst others enjoyed the internet I savoured the rare treat of eating food that I hadnt prepared myself. Bliss for a cook. #filmisnotdead #shootfilm #filmphotography #filmstagram #filmcommunity #35mm #lovefilm #analogphotography #sailing #endoceanplastics #ocean #silouette

Beluga IIs bridge is home to all sorts of navigation and monitoring instruments. I prioritised learning to turn off the very alarming engine alarms. #filmisnotdead #shootfilm #filmphotography #filmstagram #filmcommunity #35mm #lovefilm #analogphotography #sailing #boat #endoceanplastics #ocean #instablackandwhite #belugaii

Lambs of Canna. I sat down in the mud by these two and the one in the forefront curled up in my lap like a cat. #filmisnotdead #shootfilm #filmphotography #filmstagram #filmcommunity #35mm #lovefilm #analogphotography #ocean #lamb

Will (@willrose_photo) doing his thing up front and crew doing their thing at the back. Somewhere around off the coast of the Isles of Rúm or Eigg. #filmisnotdead #shootfilm #filmphotography #filmstagram #filmcommunity #35mm #lovefilm #analogphotography #sailing #boat #endoceanplastics #belugaii

There she is waiting for me to make a big pan of soup or curry to feed all the hungry bellies on board. Whilst at anchor is the Shiant Isles the @rspb_love_nature wardens (who live on the islands for part of the year) came aboard for lunch. The banner reads END OCEAN PLASTICS - but my little film .camera cant zoom so its not so clear. #filmisnotdead #shootfilm #filmphotography #filmstagram #filmcommunity #35mm #lovefilm #analogphotography #sailing #boat #endoceanplastics #ocean #sky

Ok honeys - Im finally going to upload the photos I took onboard the Beluga II throughout May & June as we went on our ocean plastics expedition around the coast of Scotland last summer. Theres some lush ones in the rolls I had developed- including this one of the Shiant Isles through some of the boats rigging. #filmisnotdead #shootfilm #filmphotography #filmcommunity #35mm #35mmfilm #analogphotography #sailing #scotland #ocean
