Dead Flower

An old one playing with extension tubes…

Finished developing and scanning film last night so we should be back to new stuff soon… Promise 🙂

Nikon F5, 50mm f1.8 Lens, PK-12 Extension Tube.


Kaikoura

So I managed to finish off a roll of film last night but haven’t had a chance to develop it yet so its another one of my favourites from a few years ago.

This was taken in Kaikoura in the South Island and is all that is left of a old customs building… This was on a borrowed 6×6 camera that was only worth about $30NZ

Chess Battle

I haven’t been out shooting much at the moment mostly due to weather and having a cold so I thought I would re-post a picture from a few years ago.
This is one of the first shots I got after I decided to become a street photographer and always carry my camera around with me… After this I was pretty much hooked! 🙂

Former Home For Boys

Spotted this one wandering around… The entire rest of the block has been demolished so I guess this one is protected…

Lights Against A Darkish Sky

I really liked how this shot turned out even if it hurts my eyes since the lights are only just discernible from the sky…

Printing Goodness

So the other day I went and did some printing in a community darkroom… After a few problems I finally managed to get into the swing of things and get some prints done.

The bigger prints are on 16×20 glossy heavyweight paper and the smaller ones are on 8×10 glossy heavyweight paper. Overall I was pretty happy with the results especially since this was the first time I had darkroom printed any of my Rolleiflex negatives… They were super nice 🙂

This shot does these prints no justice at all 🙂

Darkroom Day!

Today I am heading to a darkroom for 10 hours of printing madness… Wish me luck 🙂

This is a shot I took last time I was there in August 2010… Its been a while.

Sea Shepherd Flag

The Sea Shepherd flag on the back of the Bob Barker vessel as it resupplies in Wellington before heading south to link up with the Steve Irwin to protest against whaling in the southern ocean.

I have to say that I was pretty impressed by this ship, unfortunatley it was too big to get a shot on the Rollei but I took one on my XA3 (still to be processed). It looked a lot like some of the NZ navy vessels that were in port earlier in the year.

Happy Valentines Day

Saw this in the weekend and had to take the shot for todays post…

Hope you have a good one!
