On a sunny winter’s day

I finally bought a small point and shoot film camera into my collection. I’ve been a fan of Zeiss and Contax and these two combinations are found in a Contax T3.

Last friday I finally received my mint conditioned T3 and I took it out on the weekend to test it out. I loaded it with a Kodak Gold 200 and the photos that came out were just plain sharp! I’m very much impressed. Although, it is slightly bigger to fit into my jean’s pocket but it is still portable.

Anyway, these are some of the sample photos I took while roaming around Melbourne’s CBD. Photos were scanned by Michael’s camera.

Winter is here

The weather was wet and cold for the last few days here in Melbourne. Luckily it’s been sunny today and it will be sunny tomorrow too.

I finally got my scans back from my local photo lab. It’s been a while since I took my Yashica TLR out to play with, so about two weeks ago after the usual weekend brunch at the new cafe Tall Timber, I took a drive down to Eltham to visit Montsalvat with the Yashica. For those who aren’t familiar with Montsalvat, it is Australia’s oldest artists’ colony and home to practising artists.

All are shot with Fuji 400H, both in 35mm and medium format.

Back To Basic

In case I never mentioned it, I’m actually a huge fan of analogue photography. I love the fact that film photography always have that organic and natural look to it. On top of that, the colours are just brilliant. Something that digital photography can never achieve, perfectly.

A few weekends ago, I went on a road trip with a buddy of mine. It was a pleasant day with sunny weather and a bit of light wind. I finally took out my Nikon F100 which has been sitting collecting dust in my room. I loaded her with a Kodak 160 which Egor gave me. Being a huge procrastinator, I never got around to get this film developed until recently. Anyhow, when the results came back I was so happy with some of the shots I took (though most of them were out of focus, I think I need to really practice more). Here are a few shots that I have compiled to share. Enjoy y’all.

The first half of the photos were from the road trip, and the place is called Marysville. It’s a bit of a drive from Melbourne CBD but so totally worth it. The rest was taken in Melbourne CBD.
