luna park

I took these photos with my SuperHeadz film camera on Sunday at Luna Park. I had thought of waiting until Film Photography Friday to post these, but well, I decided I don't like waiting. I just got a whole roll of film developed, so I'll be sure to post some other new photos on Friday instead :)




(ah yes, I love sun flares and ferris wheels)
Old amusement parks have got to be one of the best places to find good photo subjects. I would've liked to have taken more, but I was close to the end of my film roll on that day. I'm still trying to get the hang of this camera. The framing always ends up wider than what I see in the viewfinder, which is something I should have noticed earlier on.
I also stumbled on this video of the opening of Luna Park in 1912. It looks so charming, I just had to share:
