Looking Down on Auckland

35mm, Canon Canonet QL17 Giii, Kodak Gold 200, New Zealand No Comments

I shot these from the balcony of my hotel on my first visit to Auckland. As I was enjoying the view one morning, I started to notice all the interesting things happening below me and had to snap a few photos.

Wintergardens, Auckland Domain, Auckland, NZ

These photos were taken at the Wintergardens in Auckland, NZ. Sarah and I spent a quiet afternoon wandering around the Wintergardens and Auckland Domain. It was an absolutely beautiful and incredibly hot day and I remember we enjoyed an ice cream in the shade of a tree.

Flock of Sheep

35mm, black & white, Canon Canonet QL17 Giii, New Zealand, Svema Foto 200 No Comments

These two photos of a flock of sheep were taken on Sarah’s parents’ farm. They have since sold the farm. I’m not sure what happened to the sheep.

Motuara Island Part 2

35mm, Canon Canonet QL17 Giii, Lomography Color 400, New Zealand No Comments

These are the last of my photos from my exploration of New Zealand’s Queen Charlotte Sound by air, sea and land. Motuara Island is home to the Little penguin and there are many man-made nesting boxes scattered throughout the island for their use. Each nesting box has a lid that you can flip open to […]

Motuara Island Part 1

35mm, Canon Canonet QL17 Giii, Lomography Color 400, New Zealand No Comments

These photos from Motuara Island are from a weekend where Sarah and I explored New Zealand’s Queen Charlotte Sound by air, sea and land. Historically, Motuara Island is the location where, in 1770, Captain James Cook and his officers raised the British flag and claimed New Zealand for the use of the British Empire. Today, […]

Queen Charlotte Sound: By Sea

35mm, Canon Canonet QL17 Giii, Lomography Cine400 Tungsten, New Zealand No Comments

After our adventure in the air, Sarah and I explored New Zealand’s Queen Charlotte Sound (aka Totaranui) by sea. We booked a 4-hour sea tour with E-Ko Tours that took us up the Sound to Motuara Island and back again. It was a pleasant experience and a fun day on the water. These are some […]

Queen Charlotte Sound New Zealand from the air

When Sarah and I visited Marlborough, we took a few days to explore Queen Charlotte Sound by air, sea and land. Sarah knew I wanted to see and do just about everything on my first visit to New Zealand and so she surprised me by booking a scenic flight over Queen Charlotte Sound with Pelorus […]

Blenheim, NZ

35mm, Canon Canonet QL17 Giii, Kodak Ektar 100, New Zealand No Comments

When Sarah and I toured wineries in Marlborough, New Zealand, we stayed in Blenheim, a small town on the South Island. It was very peaceful and we wandered around town taking pictures. If you’re ever there, I highly recommend the Watery Mouth Café (third photo). It was so good, we had breakfast there every day.

Motorbikes in Vietnam

35mm, Adox Color Implosion 100, Canon Canonet QL17 Giii, Vietnam No Comments

It’s safe to say that Vietnam has millions of motorbikes and scooters. There are so many that it is having a detrimental effect on Vietnam’s air quality. The air pollution was pretty bad when I visited a few years ago. And with that many motorbikes on the road, crossing the street is an adventure! (If […]

Wither Hills

Sarah & I had lunch at Wither Hills Winery one summer in Marlborough, New Zealand. We had lunch in the courtyard where I had an amazing pinot noir. Afterwards, we went inside for a wine tasting and ended up buying a bottle of noble riesling.

statue at Government Gardens, Rotorua, NZ

These are photos of a few of the statues on the grounds surrounding Government Gardens in Rotorua, New Zealand. I quite like the way the first photo turned out. I love the look of Kodak Tri-X 400. It is an absolutely beautiful B&W film.

Attack of the Swan

35mm, black & white, Canon Canonet QL17 Giii, Kodak Tri-X 400, New Zealand No Comments

As Sarah and I took a walk around Lake Rotorua, I spotted this couple enjoying the lake beneath the shade of a tree… and I spotted a swan swimming nearby. This unsuspecting couple never saw it coming until it was too late… but thankfully I did. And so I hung around and did my best […]

Screen Time Part 2

35mm, Alberta, black & white, Calgary, Canada, Canon Canonet QL17 Giii, Rollei Blackbird 100 No Comments

I’ve been rather disappointed with the results I get from Rollei film. Rollei Blackbird did little to change that. These were some of the best from the roll. On another note: Rollei Blackbird is the 100th film I’ve posted to Going Lomo.

Girl Playing with Pigeons

35mm, black & white, Canon Canonet QL17 Giii, FPP B&W 100, New Zealand No Comments

These were shot in Auckland, New Zealand. Sarah and I were taking a walk when I saw this girl sneaking up on some pigeons. I nearly missed the photo of her scaring the pigeons to take flight. I’m glad I didn’t. I took these using FPP B&W 100 film which is really Orwo UN54.

Sarah & I took a walk along Lake Rotorua one hot day and I managed to snap these photos on Kosmo Foto Mono 100 film.

Expired Konica Centuria

35mm, Canon Canonet QL17 Giii, color shift, Konica Centuria 100, New Zealand No Comments

Expired film can be so unpredictable. Sometimes you can shoot with 10 year old film and the results are amazing and other times, not so much. As a general rule of thumb, you should shoot expired film one stop slower than box speed for every decade past the expiry date and you should also bracket […]

Hans Herzog

35mm, Canon Canonet QL17 Giii, New Zealand, Rollei Vario Chrome 200-400 No Comments

While Sarah and I were in Marlborough, we rented some bicycles and took a tour of the wineries in the region. Our first stop was at Hans Herzog where we sampled a few of their wines. We were lucky enough that they gave us free rein to roam around the beautiful garden and restaurant. These […]

Picton, NZ

35mm, Canon Canonet QL17 Giii, Lomography Cine400 Tungsten, New Zealand No Comments

These are from my trip to the Marlborough wine region in New Zealand. Sarah and I wandered around the Picton waterfront before taking a cruise of the Queen Charlotte Sounds. It was a beautiful day. I used Lomography Cine400 Tungsten film with an 85B filter since tungsten film isn’t meant for outdoors and set the […]
