Wandering Around Napier
These are from a photo walk I took wandering the streets of Napier, NZ over Christmas.
A’Deane Park
This is A’Deane Park in Waipukurau, New Zealand. Sarah and I took our daughter here when we were visiting family over Christmas. It was my first Christmas in the southern hemisphere and after experiencing a summer barbeque on Christmas Day, I don’t think I can ever go back to a snowy Christmas!
High Park
These photos were taken in Calgary’s High Park, a park located on the 6th floor of a parkade building downtown. The park was undergoing some maintenance while I wandered around and photographed the views of downtown.
Luchadores
Every summer, a number of cultural festivals take place in Calgary featuring food stalls and live entertainment. These photos of luchadores were taken at Mexifest, a celebration of Mexico’s cultural heritage. I shot a roll of Yashica Ruby 60s 400 at Mexifest and I have to say, I’m almost always disappointed with films whose selling […]
Film on Film #13
Photos taken at night with CineStill 800T are easy to recognize as the film has no anti-halation layer and therefore lights always have a red halo around them. I haven’t shot CineStill 800T in a while, mostly because it’s not cheap, but also because I rarely shoot at night. If I want or need an […]
Shooting Fuji Eterna 400T
This is Fuji Eterna 400T, the third of four rolls containing Fuji motion picture film I purchased from the UK. Introduced in 2006 as Fuji expanded their Eterna line, this tungsten-balanced motion picture film features natural colors, smooth skin tones, and enhanced shadow detail made possible with Fuji’s Super Nano-Structured Σ (Sigma) Grain Technology. Eterna […]
Legs
I came across these leggy mannequins while walking through Olympic Plaza and had to photograph them.
Vietnamese Wedding
I was fortunate enough to capture this photo of a Vietnamese couple on their wedding day as I wandered around Ho Chi Minh City.
First Impressions of the Zeiss Ikon Signal Nettar 518/16
This is my first roll through the Zeiss Ikon Signal Nettar 518/16 and I’m impressed! Until I bought this camera, I didn’t think folding cameras were anything special, but I was wrong. The Signal Nettar features a sharp lens, is easy to use, and was a lot of fun to shoot. The Signal Nettar is […]
Wandering Around Hong Kong
After a visit to the top of Victoria Peak, Sarah and I wandered around Hong Kong a bit before heading back to our hotel.
Zoo Animals #4
I shot these photos on a roll of 30-year-old expired Agfa XRS 1000 that I purchased from a reputable seller on eBay. According to the seller, this film had been cold stored for its entire life. Maybe, maybe not. Regardless, high ISO films do not stand the test of time as well as low ISO […]
Tudor Garden
These photos are from the Tudor Garden found at Hamilton Gardens in New Zealand. This garden features mythical beasts holding shields and flags sitting atop green and white striped poles amidst a knot garden. Each of the flags features a Tudor rose, while each shield bears the coat of arms associated with the historical figure […]
Shooting Fuji F-64D
These photos of stone sculptures were shot on Fuji F-64D. Introduced in 1999 as part of Fuji’s Super F Series, this daylight-balanced motion picture film featured enhanced color reproduction with natural rendering of blue, green and yellow hues. A long, smooth tonal scale along with better performance in high-contrast outdoor lighting helped to increase its […]
A Matter of Perspective
I shot these Volkswagen Golfs from three different perspectives wanting to capture the colors of the cars.
