So no new photos this time, I’ll post some snaps from my west coast trip last weekend sooner or later. In the mean time I’ve had the opportunity to do some test prints on the new Fujifilm Pearl paper and I have to say I’m very impressed. This came about by chance as I was [...]

Hedgehogs are cool critters, though most of the time you only see them when they’re a bit squished on the road. Douglas here has taken up residence in my backyard and he (or she) doesn’t seem to mind me too much so I had to snap a few photos. Yes, that’s a dead bird he’s [...] Well I hope everyone had a mint Guy Fawkes, I know I did. This year I decided to skip the overcrowded public displays with fun-killing alcohol bans and have some fireworks fun at home. After all, what’s better than sharing a BBQ, a game of cricket, quite a few beers, a bonfire and a box [...] Sunday’s MR2 club run was somewhat more low key than last month’s extravaganza of craziness with six cars showing up; 3 AWs, 1 SW, 1 Spyder and 1 Porsche Cayman S. One year on from a last trip to Pegasus we took another trip out to see how the developments were progressing and surprisingly a [...] Well I’ve finally got underway on my latest project after much delay. I’m continuing exploring the theme I hinted at earlier in regards to exploring the urban environment thats both close at hand and that goes largely ignored. Most of our time spent in the city is at a superficial level, only ever seeing the [...] Sunday was probably Christchurch’s biggest ever club run, with 18 cars participating at various stages of the run. We were chased by the crappy weather all day, only just managing to keep ahead of the rain until lunch time at the Waiau Hotel where we sat round and discussed the days mishaps and misadventures over [...] Yesterday afternoon was absolutely beautiful so my mate Jeremy and I went for a drive out to Diamond Harbour, this is the first time I’ve been for a decent drive without worrying about anything on my car being about to fall apart for ages (big cheers to Jeremy’s dad for sorting that engine mount). I [...] I don’t normally give into random impulse purchases but $3 film at a gas station is too much to resist. When I think about it the last time I shot a roll of 35mm was November last year and the last time I shot any C41 was… well so long ago I can’t remember. Living [...] A few weeks ago I was asked if I’d like to put one of my photographs on a new bookmark being printed for the Selwyn Library service so of course I jumped at the chance for some publicity. Apparently about 10-15,000 of them have been printed and the plan is that they are going to [...] Now I’ve got all my stuff back installed again I’m enjoying going over some photographs and processing them to a standard I couldn’t previously do. I’m particularly enjoying using Nik Software’s Photoshop plugins to do my black and whites. Their RAW pre sharpener is so much better than anything ACR or Lightroom can manage. Here’s a [...] |
