The advantages of a 99p Camera!

Finding myself in Brighton with a couple of hours to spare, I planned on taking some photos on the pier - but the weather had other ideas, and as I walked along the seafront it went from sunny to stormy in just a few minutes, becoming so wet and windy that the rain was literally coming in sideways! And the pier was virtually empty, so after just a few shots I headed back for shelter in the town centre

I used my Holga 120 for these photos, because its lack of batteries, electronics or any other features of a 'proper' camera, give it the distinct advantage in a heavy downpour as there is nothing inside that can get damaged. While I was at the pier it got so dark I had to fire the shutter three or four times just to get the correct exposure on the iso 400 film I was using. I didn't use a tripod so there is a lot of camera movement, which has definitely resulted in some interesting images!!
