Melissa And Ilford Delta 3200

Here goes some shots from last weekends shoot with Melissa, Alicia and Renee.

These are from my F5 that was loaded with Ilford Delta 3200 Film and were possibly the only images that really looked like I saw them in my head. I only started using it near the end of the shoot rather than reloading my RZ67 and Rolleiflex.

Sometimes you just cant really beat using film :)

A Couple Of Polariods

Chair Parking

Ever wondered what to do when you are out walking your chair and you have to quickly duck in somewhere? Apparently the best place to leave it is your friendly neighbourhood bike park :)

Athfield Sculpture

I just developed a roll of film from my converted Holga 120 camera and found this shot which is just before this sculpture  got moved into the house behind. It was originally part of an exhibition of Architectural style in the City Gallery on Ian Athfield.

Some shots of it in its original position are HERE. The black stuff in the bottom of the frame is felt from the edge of the film canister and was in every shot… Something to look for in the future when loading film :)

Hobbit World Premiere (Slightly Delayed)

Hobbit-1

This shows about how far behind the times I am at the moment with film developing and scanning…

These are from the World Premier of The Hobbit movie which happened here in Wellington. I didnt get to actually go when anyone was on the red carpet but went earlier in the day to catch the people who had staked their spots early.

Fish

Another shot from around Christmas. While we were in the Coromandel thousands of fish washed up on the beaches around the peninsular, no one knew why but it was suspected that a large fishing boat lost one of their nets or that they were dumped by a fishing boat.

Shots From A Lost Film

When I was looking through my film in the fridge preparing to go away for 4 weeks holiday I noticed one roll had 9 shots off it already (a big 9 was scrawled on the outside of the film cassette). I ended up using the rest of the film a few weeks ago and when I got it developed I found some picture from the rugby 7′s from maybe 4 years ago.

Anyway here goes a few of them. Gotta love film for getting surprises :)

Rails To Nowhere

Engine

I was in Gisborne after New Year for a wedding and spotted this place as I was heading out to the venue on the day. Unfortunately I didn’t get to go back and ended up getting to the wedding a bit later than I expected. Luckily I was helping with some of the set-up so I was still early :)
