Evan and Holly’s Dad’s Blog

Hi and welcome to my blog. Filled with images from my recent weddings, engagement shoots, portrait sessions and corporate work. Most importantly its a window into my world...a world where family takes an upper hand and I have the images to prove it. Hopefully you'll take a few minutes to browse and once addicted set the blog as a bookmark. If you have any comments please feel free to add them or just get in touch.

For The Record: The images that I put on the blog from recent weddings may not always be the best or even ones you might expect. They are things that I saw, that I like that I want to share. Sometimes they are part of a quirky story or show a tender or ironic side to a wedding.

F!lm — AGAIN!

By

Finally got around to developing a few more rolls of film from my Konica Hexar ‘faux’ rangefinder camera last week.  Life with a max shutter speed of 1/250th is great fun (NOT).  But it is kind of cool to shoot and not have a clue (OK, I do have a clue) until the disc comes back (yep, disc…don’t bother with prints).

All the black and white images are shot on Ilford XP2 which is a 400 speed film.  Most shots needed a 3 stop ND filter to keep it under the 1/250th of second.

The colour is Kodak Ektar 100.  With a my 3xND it makes it a 12 speed film.  Hilarious concept to a digital photographer.

As with all my film scans I will remove dust and scratches and I will use a few levels adjustments.  But that’s it.

First are some photos of Evan and friends etc:

As well as family and personal projects I have taken the camera to a few weddings.   These are some fun images taken in lax times or after the digital shot was taken.  I don’t know how I feel about mixing film and digital as the look is quite different.

Film…its not necessarily a 4 letter word (well, it is actually, but in the way one usually thinks of a four letter word).  But for now I’ll keep in the hobby end of the business.
