No more words left for the ‘Film Week’ pictures. I saved my favourite of the roll of film till last.
Read More Film Week – The PassageI guess the last bit about film and why I shoot it I have not touched on is the developing stage. Its the part where it can all come together, or go terribly wrong. I typically develop with Ilford ID11. Its cheap and comes in powder form, so I can store if for a good […]
Read More Film Week – The Approaching RainstormSo, as I mentioned earlier in the week. We went out for a short shoot around the Winter Gardens in Auckland’s Doman (and also a quick stop at Mt Eden).

All of these things can of course be done on DSLR’s today. The one difference being you still have […]
Read More Film Week – Shapes in the Winter GardensToday we went for a stroll around the Auckland Domain, Winter Gardens and Museum. I took the opportunity to bring along my Nex with the newly received Jupiter-8 lens. Overall, for an old legacy lens I was very happy with the results. Wide open it delivers some beautiful shots and stopped down is equally nice. […]
