Drifting a long way away from plastic lenses with this shot. It is taken with my latest camera, a Polaroid 110A that has been converted to take 4″ x 5″ sheet film by a talented man named Dean Jones, who luckily for me I met a few years ago at a Sunwrae concert and who works just a suburb away from me. This is a marvelous hand-held coupled rangefinder that shoots large format! The negatives from this camera are just incredible, I love shooting with it. That little white dot at the far left border of the image (near some seats) is, on examination of the full size scan of this negative, very obviously a seagull. The detail above the carpark & MacDonalds sign at right clearly shows individual wires on the roof of the shops behind. I’ll be posting an entry about this camera shortly in the words part of the plastic lens.
