More of the Holga 120N Love..

Sometimes we get cameras to work, and sometimes we don't. I have to admit that the Holga 120N I purchased a while ago from the team at Lofico has been with me every day for 2 years, and it's still giving me mixed results. Now that's not because of anything else but me.

I have only (and yes I mean only) really gotten my head around the exposure times and light required for taking a great photo with this "Toy" camera. I have been switching between ISO 100 to 400 speed films, and really think I have hit the mark at ISO 200. It just seems to work better and give a wonderful result. I know this seems to bring down the amount of film choices to Rollei Crossbird or Fomapan Creative 200 but I really do think the results are worth it.



You can find more shots over at my Flickr or just search Holga and you can and will come up with a ton of different, and inspiring images to work from.

Busy times... And they just get busier...

I have been a pretty busy little Vegemite (the Aussies will get it) as of late, and been pretty sick as well. But no more excuses, time to get to brass tacks. 

I managed to pop into a friends Tattoo Parlor today and knocked out a couple of quick shots. Nothing really important as I was there more to talk about me getting more tattoos (you can never have enough), and they were pretty busy and I didn't really want to take up to much of their time. You can pop over to Flickr and see the couple I grabbed.

Some of the biggest news is that I managed to get a Bronze Award in the Better Photography Picture of the Year. 

Would have been nice to make the top 50, but maybe next year.

Well that's about it.. I have a couple of things in the pipe line and hope to get them popping up very soon. 

Melbourne Open House 2012..

Today was a day to get some great shots around Melbourne, and I did..

Open House Melbourne was run today, and I had a ball. Yes there were A LOT of places I never got to, but that's what next year is for. 

I managed to get only to 3 buildings today, mainly because I made a mistake with one (it was closed and I ended up like 6k away from one of the others). 

Next year I will be taking the whole weekend off so I can get to a lot more places, and hopefully I will be back on the bike enough to be able to ride between more of the places. That way I can cover more ground. 

I'm even planning on traveling a little lighter as well.

Please take a look at the flickr collection. 

Just a touch of some new work.... Enjoy

I have FINALLY had some time to get a few rolls of film I have been sitting on developed and scanned. 

A lot of the images are from around Abbotsford Convent and the surrounds, but there were also a few out of my Holga as well. 

So feel free to pop over to my flickr.com and take a look.

More Pictures on flickr...

 

 I have been playing with some more Black and White film as of late and getting some very interesting results.

I have posted up a couple here, but head over to my flickr to keep an eye on what I'm doing.

Well it's just another picture ins't it??

Been a while since my kids have made an appearance in a picture so I chose this one..

I was working on a set of shots that were kinda Zombie/Slasher inspired, that had a sense of innocence and frighteningly simple nature. I had a pretty good one of my wife Michell, and this one of the kids came out great as well. I did struggle to get a full set done so passed on the idea. 

I might go back to it one day.. 

Go over to my flickr and have a look...

So watch this space for the results.. Or the Open House flickr group..

I don't know why I like this so much.. Is it the girl with the Radio giving me such a ponderous look, or the guy in the Bell hat looking straight down the barrel, or is it that everyone around them doesn't seem to care..
