Film in Friday | April

admin — Fri, 26 Apr 2013 09:53:08 +0000

This months Film on Friday brings a walk to our islands highest point (not very high at 112m). This 6km walk had Cal whinging after the 1st kilometer, until I suggested a $2 ‘no whinge’ bribe, from then on it was all adventure.

And a final hit of warm weather…..

For more Film on Friday head over to see what Heidi Adams has in stall for us, her work is always a treat to see!

Daily Lifestyle Project/ 365

I jumped the gun with my 1st post for this project thinking I needed to get something up straight away. However, what I was really hoping to do was post as much of the project as possible in film. So I’m starting the year again, but this time on film. My aim is to post every Monday, a week at a time.

Day 1: Tuesday January 1st, 2013…..

Project 365

admin — Wed, 02 Jan 2013 05:25:31 +0000

This year i have decided to attempt a project 365 for the 1st time. I am doing it as part of a Bloom forum daily lifestyle project where every month we will form a new blog circle. I am optioning to post weekly rather than daily and have decided to get the ball rolling with my 1st two days.

Day 1: January 1st, 2013…..

A quiet moment caught in play hiding from his little brother.

Day 2: January 2nd, 2013…..

My early morning visitor.

Now follow the blog circle around to the beautiful work of Heather Robinson.

Bloom Project 52 | Week 52/52 | ‘Cheer’

admin — Sun, 30 Dec 2012 08:46:10 +0000

This week the theme for my project 52 is ‘cheer’. As such a Christmas morning snap shot seemed fitting.

Merry Christmas to all, thankyou for sharing the year through images.

Film on Friday | December

admin — Fri, 28 Dec 2012 10:16:45 +0000

Its time again for ‘Film Friday’ This month shots care of a trial film, shot quickly yesterday on my new (or should i say old) Nikon F100. I wanted the convenience of a 35mm that i could more readily get developed and scanned (i had it processed w/scans today, unfortunately the disk would not open so i was forced back to home scanning).

Bloom Project 52 | Week 51/52 | ‘Soft Focus’

admin — Sun, 23 Dec 2012 09:50:41 +0000

This year I have had periods where keeping up with the blog circle with the wonderful ladies at Bloom has been difficult. So my apologies to my fellow blog circle memebers. I have loved sharing images with you all and been inspired by all your work.

This week the theme, is ‘soft focus’, so i chose to share a film shot i have just scanned. There is something about film that allows me to be more forgiving, and it can become part of the charm of a shot.

Bloom Project 52 | Week 50/52 | ‘Opposites’

admin — Sun, 09 Dec 2012 09:13:30 +0000

This week the boys and I have had a week away with their grandmother. While most of the week i shot film i did bring my digital in case an opportunity to shoot this weeks theme ‘opposites’ arose. Fortunately it did when we visited Buchan Caves, I figured the stalactites and stalagmites would make great opposites.

Bloom Project 52 | Week 49/52 | ‘Silver’

admin — Sun, 02 Dec 2012 07:15:50 +0000
