NEX Captures
Yesterday at work I got asked to go get some sample images to print out for the Sony NEX 5 with the 16mm Lens… Apart from being the worst time of day to go shooting on a day where it was bright and sunny here goes some of the shots that wont be used for sample images but better suit my style of street shooting 🙂 I did slightly pimp it out with a Polariser.
Oh and the camera handled better than I thought it would even if the 16mm was a bit wide for my liking for the street stuff.
Yeah there’s a bit of building/roadwork action going on in the centre city at the moment 🙂

“Yep looks like a road”
With a 24mm equivalent it’s quite hard to get a close image 🙂

Book Pusher
Not sure what religion they were pushing (when you only have 5 -10 min a day to get some shots you just don’t have time) but I like the way the guys body language is turned for a quick get away.

Stripes
Another random shot in Cuba Mall.
I like how much is going on in the frame and it takes a couple of looks to see all the detail.

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.

Rimutaka Hill
So I finally went out and bought a film scanner today that would let me scan 120 film since that’s what I’ve been shooting the most lately.
I bought a CanoScan 9000F which will let me scan up to 9600 DPI… Sweet… I’m not convinced my computer agrees with some pretty big files going through it tonight.
I downsized these for the blog but were originally about 250MB and that was only at 4800 DPI
Found these images from a couple of years ago of the top of the Rimutaka Hill which were taken with a 6 x 12 rollback on a 4×5 camera with a 90mm lens.
This is the hill where all the trains used to go over to get from Wellington to further north. They eventually just dug a great whopping tunnel under the whole hill so now the old rail trail is used by mountain bikers and walkers.
From memory it’s about an hour cycle up to the top through tunnels and some pretty cool countryside and they were in the process of putting in signs and information along the way which was pretty cool… Must go back some time.

More Alley
OK so I probably spend too much time here but this alley keeps producing stuff for me to photograph.

Im on a Bus?
Not really sure what was going on here. It could have been a small protest who knows… Just another random happening I was happy to record.
