This is a novel view of a very familiar location! I was photographing in Whitby at the weekend myself. As much as I love the place, the few times I've been there to make pictures, I've found it frustratingly difficult. Got there a little too late on Sunday and made a couple of pictures from the foot of the east pier, of the cliff wall and people on the beach. Not sure the wind helped at 1/8th! But as always, I'll anticipate the results. Fingers crossed.

Good street photography. Quite intense but authentic looking colours especially the red

Shot at dull weather? And home processed? A double plus for me: well done!! An option I would also like to try in this setting is to make the pavement "horizontal" in a second image at that scene (by tilting the camera about 4 degrees to the right). You'll get something like this: http://www.enervie.nl/studiotegenlicht/images/lone-customer-tilted-4degrees.jpg What do you think?

Well done, nicely composed. I plan on taking my Blad out this weekend as well.

Thanks for that experiment on my photo -- well, I thought it was not straight THEN I noticed the cafe was on a slight HILL so left it !

Now that's colour! Been a while since they made Ultra, great film as was Optima and Portra.

Yes, when 'ULTRA' was available not enough people bought it - now it is 'discontinued' everyone WANTS it !! I was GIVEN many 120 and 35mm rolls dated 1998 and 2002 and it is all in the 'fridge !! ( ULTRA 100 was also good for DULL WEATHER -- took some in Ireland some years ago and it was just right for the dull light there )
