I bought a red shutter release button for my Canon AE-1, but unfortunately it has gone missing! It added a pop of colour and fitted nicely with the design of the camera. RIP red button.

I bought this Olympus mju 1 at a charity shop in the UK a few years ago - unfortunately it was broken and I didn’t know the value of it (which has shot up in recent years).

Canon AV-1 35mm film camera, from the car boot sale. I have just bought an adapter to fit the FD lens on to my EOS DSLR, so I can experiment with some lovely vintage lenses in my collection. It will also fit on to my EOS film cameras too.

Things I Didn’t Buy At The Car Boot Sale: Kodak Retinette at Cheddar car boot sale

‘Saw Ohn Nyun’ by Sir Gerald Festus Kelly (1897-1972) - at Camberwell Sunday Market. I love this print and missed an opportunity to buy one in the UK a long time ago - but this one was out of my price range.

While I was back in the UK, I bought a Kodak No 2 Folding Autographic Brownie camera from Cheddar car boot sale for £5. One day my Dad suggested that we should drive over to Lacock Abbey - the home of (William Henry) Fox Talbot - creator of the first photographic negative back in 1835. I thought this would be the perfect place to try out my latest purchase. See more over on my design blog: http://www.websitesarelovely.com/design-blog/2016/6/28/lacock-abbey-fox-talbot-museum
