Last week, I traveled via Eurostar to Paris for a quick day trip with my friend Jennie. Mainly because last time I was in Paris I didn't take my camera and wanted to capture some of this amazing city. I decided to take my Canon EOS 600 and some Lomography 35mm film over and capture the beauty on film, and venture into the unknown rather than rely on the certainty of digital.

We were greeted with a lovely spring day, albeit with an air of smog, which actually created a nice haze when shooting into the sun. Although I am talking of the artistic merit, rather than the health of the Parisians!

I took with me a mixture of 800 and 400 ISO Lomography Colour Negative 35mm Film, which gives the photos a charming grain that can only be achieved with film. No matter what post processing you do with digital, you can never recreate this.

Only having a day, and taking some time out for ourselves, meant there is so much of Paris I didn't capture, but I am very pleased with what I did come away with.
