It Must Have Been Cold
It must have been a cold night in the Alley…. Not sure how the heating would have helped but you never know…

Sunday Assisting Job
I had an assisting job yesterday with photographer Bev Short… We have done quite a bit of work together and she is reasonably cool with me taking shots like this where usually it would be frowned upon.
It was an image for her book shot around a car wreckers yard… Needless to say we were all filthy by the end of it 🙂
I like that the strobe is in the engine bay… for some reason it amuses me.
More shots of wrecked cars to come…

Boat Sheds at Titahi Bay
A collection of boat Sheds at Titiahi Bay just out of Wellington.
I like how a number of them seem to have dishes to get satellite TV 🙂

Staglands Animals
Here are some animal shots from our family trip to Staglands Reserve.
Who knew piggies could be so cute.

Fatherhood Friday 28: Bunnies
Only 22 days to Christmas….Eekkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk!
We all had a day off together which for us is pretty unusual since I work weekends and some week days and Amanda works during the week, we were supposed to go camping but the weather forecast didn’t look the best (it turn out that we should have gone cause the weather was nice).
So we decided to make the most of our time and went out to Staglands, which is a reserve/petting zoo about an hour out of Wellington.
The girls loved seeing and interacting with the animals (except for an over friendly goat which tried to follow Emily around and shoved its head into Sams pushchair looking for food).

Titahi Bay Black and White
Finally got round to developing and scanning the Black and White film images taken the other week at Titahi Bay.
This was the first roll of Ilford Pan F+ 50 ISO film through the Rollei and I have to say that I like it. This week I am trying Kodak Tri-X 400 which should also be interesting to see how it comes out.

Last Lot of Photos From Wellington Zombie Walk… Promise
This is the last series of images from the Zombie Walk on the 30th.
Shot these ones on the Rollei and have left the scans pretty raw and dusty because it kinda suits the theme…

More Scanner Action: Cemetery Panos
Still playing around with the new scanner and finally getting to scan some stuff which I havent been able to scan properly before like these cemetery shots from a Noblex Swing Lens camera.
I have to say that I am a little bit disappointed with the scanner in the fact it’s not really resolving the grain as much as I would like… maybe it just needs some tweaking and more experimentation… other than that its a really kick ass piece of kit! Scanning black and white as 16 bit image rocks!
All these image were taken just after the sun went down using Delta 3200 ISO film which makes them look a bit ethereal with no shadows.
