Just Uploaded 3 Photo5 Competition Entries
finally got round to uploading some of my Canon Photo5 Entries.
Single drop of water with a picture of a cityscape inside it hanging from the head of a pin.

Only about a week to go so will have to crank it up to get the last two done… Wish me luck
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.

Fatherhood Friday 26: Kites, Bikes and Mud
All I can say is that it has been a full on couple of weeks!
Samantha finally got Chicken Pox, unfortunately on the day my parents arrived for a 4 day visit, and after the first day Emily had a 3 day bout of vomiting and diarrhea. So lets just say that the girls werent at their best for the visit.
Anyway here are a few shot from one of our trips to the ,still being built, bike track.
Nikon F5, 50mm f1.8, Ilford HP5+ 400 ISO Film.
Last 2 Canon Photo5 Images
Here go the last two images I entered into the Photo5 competition.
If you missed the earlier ones they are here
Not quite as happy with these ones cause they were a bit rushed. I would have liked to have done the spray can one in The Alley but unfortunately time was against me.
f5.6 @ 1/40 Seconds
The one below is the inspired by sound entry but basically just turned into me having a bit of fun with Xmas lights, a power drill and some LED lights. It kinda fits the brief… Sort of 🙂
f11 @ 61 Seconds
Nikon D70s, 50mm f1.8, 200 Iso.
More Alley
OK so I probably spend too much time here but this alley keeps producing stuff for me to photograph.
Rolleiflex 2.8 E, Fuji Neopan 400 ISO Film.
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.

Big Brother is Watching You
A leftover from the anti Search and Surveillance Bill Protest.

Saw this last weekend on my pre work walk…
Again I love it when the universe throws me some weird stuff to take photos of in the small window of opportunity that I have to capture them 🙂
