Lawnmowers Outside Parliament
I have been having some computer issues of late but have hopefully sorted it so should be back up and running now 🙂
Spring is finally here and with it a couple of new cameras to play with.
I just bought a Nikonos V with a 35mm lens which I am planning to use as a rainy day street shooter with the possibility of a bit of underwater shooting and on the last Urbex mission we found a broken Holga 120 camera which I am currently converting into a 35mm panoramic camera (I know you can buy adaptors but this way is more fun).
Roll on the spring weather and may it be good!

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.

Leaf Scan
Still shooting my way through the first roll of film since Rollei’s come back from repair. I was working at Photo Warehouse the other day and talked to a guy on the phone who wanted a scanner to use as a macro. This got me to thinking that I could use my CanoScan 9000F to shine light through stuff, like leaves… Anyway here goes my first attempt with a partially decomposed leaf I found on the steps up to my house 🙂

Another shot from my Olympus XA3.
Sometimes black and white just doesn’t capture what you want it to…

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.
