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.

Alternate View of Yesterdays Shot
As requested by Saarem… The shot from the other side of the street.

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.

A bit of breakdancing on Cuba Street.

Alley Installation
Spotted a couple of people putting up some sort of art piece in the Leftbank Alley so clicked off this shot.
Went back the next day to see what it was but it was pretty much destroyed.

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…

Fundraising and Zombies
Took the day off work yesterday to do a fundraising photo shoot for my local Playcentre (its kinda a parent run pre school centre)
This was the flyer we did a pre-shoot for a couple of weeks back that was designed by one of the other dads.
Since my lights weren’t really up to the task of running all day we had to borrow some from local photographer Adrian Heke who lent us a set of Hensel 1000Ws… Cheers Adrian!
So basically we shot family portraits from 9am til about 4pm (we did have a bit of a break in the middle)…. So needless to say it was a pretty long day, not to mention the just under 2000 images I still have to edit and post produce 🙂
And then if I wasnt tired enough already I went and hung out with a whole bunch of  Zombies on a Zombie walk for a couple of hours… the press guys who I am starting to get to know a bit better still find it amusing that I am shooting film and lets just say the Rollei isn’t built for speed but put my first roll of 3200 ISO film through it so will see how it comes out.
I think I currently have a backlog of 5 x 120 films and 1 x 35mm film to develop so hopefully I will get a chance to do them soon.
PSP Action?

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.
