Brand New Toy....

I bought a new toy for light painting... I won't say what it is yet... I'll explain it later. I'm gonna be out nights all week seeing what I can do with it. These are from the first set of test shots.

New Camera - Nikon FE

So I'm still a sucker for old film cameras. I saw an old Nikon FE in the antique shop for only $50 - went and tried it out but unfortunately it was broken. But my interest was piqued... I wanted one, so I went and trolled ebay for a while and found a cheap one in black. Mmmmm, classic Nikon SLRs are pure sweetness. It's so well built - feels like a solid chunk of metal, and the shutter fires like a gun. The viewfinder is about 10 times the size of my (expensive-ass) D70's. If only they built digital SLRs like this...

It sometimes pays to have a camera with you in the bathroom. ;)

More Evening Shots

Jade, PJ Style

Just walking around the grocery store. I've been shooting a lot of wide angle B&W photojournalistic style stuff lately in an attempt to improve my all-round abilities...

Jade has the patience of a saint ;)

Evening at Hendry's

I haven't been out shooting at sunset for a long time. The clouds were great this time....

Daytime Long Exposures

I've always wished I could shoot long exposures during the day, since onshore winds ensure there are hardly ever any clouds at night. I bought a filter that takes out 10 stops of light - that means that if the normal exposure is 1/30 of a second, I can shoot for 30 seconds!

These were shot around 2 pm.
