A Girl, a Dog & an Old Car

Cameron — Mon, 02 Nov 2009 07:12:01 +0000

Recently, thanks to the example and encouragement of some friends, I have ventured into developing my own negatives at home. So far I have done a few rolls of B & W, but I also have the ingredients for some C-41 (colour negative) developing, when I feel brave enough. This particular image was shot with my Diana 151 loaded with Kodak Tri-X 400. For those who like the technical details, here they are:

A Round About Then

Cameron — Fri, 23 Oct 2009 00:59:38 +0000

On a long road trip it is a good idea to have a break in the journey to stretch ones legs and in the case of children to have a play in a playground if you can find one. On a recent trip we found ourself in Sale and discovered such a spot that also had one of those old-fashioned playground round abouts which don’t seem to be around much anymore. We all had a ride on it, the kids especially loved it, and amazingly, no-one threw up (we were going round and round pretty fast!)

A Boy’s Toys

Cameron — Thu, 27 Aug 2009 20:22:05 +0000

A young fella contemplates life with his hand full of bounty. Slightly blurry (as Diana’s can be) but I find the selective focus of his right (on our left) hand holding the toy interesting.

Umbrella Girls

Another colourful capture of my beautiful (if slightly bonkers) kids, sheltering from cosmic rays under a rainbow striped umbrella. Sprocket holes courtesy of the blackbird,fly cameras different masking options. This image was taken as part of a little 8mm filming project of which a small movie snippet can be seen here: documenting the capturing of Umbrella Girls.

Masked Girl with Snorkel

Cameron — Thu, 05 Mar 2009 08:02:44 +0000

It has been a hectic few weeks but thankfully we have been fortunate enough to get down to the beach. Here my youngest tries out the new mask and snorkel set we bought her. The crazy vignetting is courtesy of 200 speed film in the wonderful blackbird,fly (from Superheadz) camera set on ‘sunny’ aperture.
