More Driving
More driving Pics from last Friday with various cameras superclamped to the front grab handle of a Land Rover Discovery
Nikon D70s with 18-70mm lens an ND8 filter and an ND6 graduated filter.
The ND8 was to get a longer shutter speed since it was in the middle of the day and the ND6 Grad was so the sky didnt burn out
With the first 2 images I liked the way that the car infront is still kinda sharp but you get the feeling of movement from the sides being blurry.
Tripod set up in the backseat with the front 2 legs in the passenger footwells and the back leg flat and jammed into the space between the backrest and the seat.
Nikon F5 with 19-35mm lens, Ilford Pan F+ 50 ISO film, ND8 filter and an ND6 graduated filter.
Saw an awsome article at work today from Phase One that was basically showing how they did a whole lot of car images and it gave me an idea for a shoot along the same sort of lines.
Hopefully I can convince some people to help me to hang out the back of 1 vehicle while taking images of another vehicle… Will have to wait and see what happens.
Photo Montage Dunedin Railway Station
Made up of about 20 to 30 images with Nikon D70s and 80-200mm lens.
I couldnt easily get further back without having an incident with traffic so the shots were quite large when it came to putting them togeather in Photoshop.
I like the way all the verticals are all still vertical but all the horizontals are slightly skewed. It appears to be coming out to meet you in the middle of the image.
Angel
Karori Cemetery, Wellington, New Zealand
Shot in the middle of the day with speedlite on full power. This is pretty much how the image looked on the camera.
Balance by Torchlight
Fort Balance, Wellington
Nikon F5, Ilford Delta 3200 film, f1.8 30 secs with fill light from torch
Pre WWII gun emplacement… Abandoned by military, Adopted by graffiti artists.
Part of a series I am currently working on about abandoned gun emplacements around Wellington.
Red Splat
Red Splat
Originally shot for the Canon Eos Photo5 Competition
Nikon D70s ISO 200 f8 1/640 sec (which is kinda odd cause the D70s is only supposed to sync up to 1/500 sec)
Red Splat 2
This one didnt make the cut for the comp but was kinda cool
Nikon D70s ISO 200 f8 1/640 sec
A small setup montage.
I really like how crap the setup is (random piece of perspex with holes drilled into it balanced on an upsidedown chair on the family table) but how good the end result looks… I feel its a good example of what you can do without spending a whole heap of money on fancy equipment.
Light Graffiti
Test shot for Portrait sometime (model in foreground right)
Nikon D70s ISO 200 F22 66secs with 10W torch and lots of running up and down
Same shot two different ways 2
Shot 1 mostly for composition reasons
Courtneay Place, Wellington, New Zealand
Nikon D70s at ISO 200 f8 1/500 sec
Shot 2 with a Cokin NDX filter (which reduces light by a bigillion stops)
Nikon D70s ISO 200 f8 364 sec
This one feels slightly post apocalyptic with the lack of people and the crazy magenta cast from the filter
Fridge
This is my fridge… Used for storing film and alcohol… Sometimes I put food in it also….
Same shot but two different ways
Nikon F5 with 50mm f1.8 lens
Ilford Pan F 50 Film
ND8 filter and ND4 Grad
f22 at 2 seconds
Nikon F5 with 50mm f1.8
Ilford Pan F 50 film
f2.8 at 1/5000 second
Last week I was testing out an expired bulk roll of film for the first time and feeling quite sleep deprived couldnt face taking it into my usual urban jungle setting so went to the beach instead. It was reasonably overcast but I was impressed how the film handled and the tonal range that I got out of it. Considering that it expired in 2007 it still seems to be working well.
I like how even though the 2 photos have almost the exact same composition the feeling that they create is vastly different
Film Start
The start of a roll of film and the exposure it made up against the felt of the cassette (old reuseable one so its a bit ragged)
