Assorted

I havnt posted any images for a little while, it's not that I havnt been shooting, I just have been a little, shall we say, preocupied. But here are a few images that really pop in my mind.

This is the from my first roll of 120 Film in a Yashica TLR. Taken at about 6 am on Chapel Street on a public holiday, there were literally no cars on the street, which allowed me to stand in the middle and shoot almost an entire roll. I still think I need to do some more work on the scanning side of things, but the exposure is pretty spot on, not bad considering the light meter is broken in the camera, and I had to use a Lightmeter App on my iPhone.

This image was actually taken by a friend using my Leica M8, on a road just outside of Woomera, he had me standing staring off into the distance, hoping that the very occassional car wouldnt just decide to come at the wrong time. The web image doesnt really do it justice, I have had this printed on a giant canvas and it looks amazing hanging up on the wall.

This one was snapped on the fly in a cab in Shanghai (crazy driver was weaving in and out of traffic so much we were convinced we were going to die). The lights are actually oncoming traffic. I really like this one, because I didnt have time to focus or set the exposure, I just guessed and it came out amazingly well, capturing the oncoming headlights that were lighting the passenger as they rushed towards us.
