Fatherhood Friday: Ballerina
Emily had her ballet show last weekend and she want me to take some pictures of her in her costume before it had to be taken back. Sam got in on the act also 🙂
(Sorry to Facebook people who have already seen these).
Nikon D70s, 50mm f1.8 Lens, ISO 200, 2x 500W Electra Stobes with shoot through Umbrella Softbox and Barn Doors for Backdrop.
Erskine
Another exploration with Fergus. This time Erskine College out in Island Bay.
Unfortunately Fergus was a bit cagey about what we were going to shoot so all I had with me was my Rollei and the RZ with a 180mm and Pan F 50 ISO Film. I would have loved to have the F5 with a 19mm but I made the most of what I had and we will definitely have to go back and shoot it again.
Erskine College closed in 1985 and while parts are still used for function rooms and the cathedral most of it is in disrepair.

Photoshoot
Photo shoot on the beech by the playground where Sam and I go after we wander through town.
I am currently in a bit of a state of transition at the moment as Sam has pretty much grown out of the backpack and I am trying to get her to walk instead. Unfortunately this is meaning that I am taking less images 😦
Bear with me and hopefully all will be back to normal soon 🙂 and I do have a film to develop…

Let Sleeping Dogs Lie
OK so they weren’t actually sleeping 🙂

Civic Square
Running a bit behind with developing at the moment so here is another older shot of a couple of kids sharing headphones (I think) in Civic Square.

More Expired Film And Camera Testing
The last two shots off the film that expired 19 years ago.
This was also a bit of a test since I have been having trouble with focusing at the closer distances… Theses were taken on a tripod in good light with the camera set to f8… It looks like I might have to do another test on something static, but the camera might have to go and get the mirror re-calibrated.

Simon Woolf
Another Wellington photographer, this time Simon Woolf.
This is probably the first time I have seen him without a camera as he was changing a light outside his studio. After I took this we had a chat and he told me he had just purchased his second Rolleiflex 🙂

The Humble Road Cone and 19 Year Old Expired Film
The other day I got given a roll of Kodak Ektachrome 64T which expired in October 1992. It had been kept in a freezer so I thought I would do a short series on the humble road cone which I would then get cross processed… It turned out much better than I thought… Might have to try and find some more.
If you cant read it upside down check out the expiry date 🙂

Peter Black
From time to time I come across other street photographers while I am wandering around…
Peter Black has just had his book “I Loved You The Moment I Saw You” published a couple of months ago (you can see it HERE) so when I saw him wandering around with his camera I did a quick evasive maneuver round the back of a block to catch him as he walked past (not easy to do quickly with a two year old strapped onto your back).
It was an excellent case of good preparation bad execution as I pulled the focus a bit… He obviously saw me and grabbed a couple of shots of me and Sam 🙂
When we walked back later on in the morning he didn’t notice me taking the shot of him being interviewed about the book 🙂
