Take Shelter Part 2… Rolleiflex
This is the second part of the post from yesterday now that I have managed to get some more film developed.

Take Shelter Part 1
First lot of shots from Take Shelter gig on Saturday. It was held at the WW2 fortress at Palmers Head which overlooks the airport. I have to say that it was a super sweet location to have a trio of Punk bands.
I got there late and totally missed Johnny and the Felchers as well as the first half of Numbskull.
Still have some film from my Rolleiflex to develop and will hopefully have that sorted by tomorrow…
Check out the bands

this was the only shot I really got of Numbskull.
Great vantage points were to be had.
Last of all was Meth Drinker

Palmers Head
Went on a bit of an adventure last night with Fergus and Alex trying to get some more time lapse and long exposures. We started off going to Palmers Head above the Wellington Airport where I set up a time lapse on the roof of the main bunker and then went and did some light painting inside while it was ticking over (still have to process it into video). A few minutes after we arrived a couple on a date turned up with a romantic dinner complete with candles and a chilly bin filled with food. I think having three photographers along probably didn’t help the mood much so we left after about an hour. Fergus did get to share some of there alcohol though 🙂
I’m now have something like three rolls of film to develop from Rollei but I’m now just waiting to get my developing stuff back so I can finally develop them…

More Scanner Macro
A couple of more tests using my CanoScan 9000F Scanner as a macro camera… The first using a black box and the bottom scanning head only and the second one I mounted a petal to a 35mm slide mount and used the top scanning head which gives much higher resolution.

Things To Do While Your Rolleiflex Is Away Being Repaired #7
Shoot From The Hip Olympus XA3 Styles
Technically Rollei’s back and fixed but here are some more shots from when they were away…
This is usually the camera that stays in the car for those “just in case” moments but it got out and about the week and a half Rollei was away.

Rollei’s Back!… But I Havent Had A Chance To Shoot Yet :(
So I picked up repaired Rollei on Wednesday afternoon and I have to say that the repair guy did a really good job. As well as fixing the shutter he also gave it a really good clean and fixed up a few other small issues as well as re timing and checking all the shutter speeds.
The unfortunate thing is that since I have picked it up I haven’t been able to get out and shoot and with working both days this weekend the likelihood of getting a full roll through for next week is looking pretty poor.
So that being said here goes a shot from pre-repair Rollei of some timelapsing with my D90 🙂

Make New Stuff With Your Old Stuff
I’ve been playing around with some time lapse stuff lately and all the good looking videos use a movement thing with them…
So I thought “I have lots of photo stuff, I wonder if I can make my own”
Hence the creation below. Its my own custom time lapse movement device. Its made from Tripod, Macro rail, monopod head and a super clamp for a counter balance.
It has a handle in the back that you have to turn manually and its a little jerky but with a bit of practice it might be cool 🙂 The F5 was there because I needed my D90 to shoot this shot.
See below for test video

The Day Rollei Died
Sorry to say I have been a bit quiet of late but unfortunately my Rolleiflex decided to up and die on me. Its currently away hopefully being repaired (fingers crossed).
This is probably the shot where it happened.
I will keep you informed on how it is going… Time to do some more experimentation with digital while its away 🙂
