Some shots from last week when I had a couple of sick children during school holidays and a kowhai tree outside my window.

Demi Half Frame Print
Finally got round to printing a shot from my old Canon Demi S (deceased)
With the 6×6 enlarger mask I made I can only print 3 frames at a time so I might have to experiment with a slightly larger mask and hope the enlarger handles it. Hopefully I can get up to 5 frames printed…

Burned Out Car
A beautiful day to find a nice burned out car 🙂
I went back a day latter and it had been hauled away.

Enlarger Mask Building
After looking round for a 6 x 6 enlarger mask to be able to print shots from my Rolleiflex I have finally just decided to make one out of matte board.
With less parts being available all the time (especially in little old New Zealand) it seems more and more I have to make this kind of stuff myself. I have even gone as far as buying a couple of enlargers (super cheap) but they were all missing a part or two. At least I will have lots of spare parts or things to build random stuff out of 🙂
I think I may have made a small mistake by using a section of foam core in the middle to make the whole thing thicker and may have to tape up the sides since it seems to let light out…
Its all glued up and will take it into the darkroom for a test on Monday next week…
Fingers crossed…
Its for a LPL 7700 Enlarger if anyone has a spare mask 🙂
Kite Surfing
Kite surfing is one of those things that I have always meant to try but so far haven’t got around to it…
One day 🙂
