melbourne on film

I'm sitting here fumbling around with my fancy new Canon DSLR and I'm starting to panic! I'm so in love with shooting film on my very beautiful and very uncomplicated Nikon FM2 that I think I may struggle getting to know this new medium!

I'm trying to keep in the same headspace of shooting with my Nikon – after all photography has always been about aperture, shutter speed and ISO all carefully balanced to create correct exposure... now, if only I could find those buttons!

Here are few things I've shot around Melbourne using film. Perhaps the next post will be about my love of my new digital camera!

winter in the park

Its cold and the trees are naked but the light is soft. Time to take a break, keep warm and regroup...

summer colour winter days

A touch of summer colour for this very average wet winter Melbourne day...

I love shooting black and white film. There is something lovely about stripping away the colour so all that you are left with is shadow and highlight... which I guess is photography at its purest.

It's been a particularly grey and wet week here in Melbourne and I haven't really had a chance to get out and shoot anything new. This week's 52 Photos Project prompt is 'Black & White'. I've taken it as an opportunity to look through my archives and see some of my pictures in a different way. It's strange how a little bit of space and a fresh eye makes a previously discarded image seem completely right at this moment in time.

reasons i love melbourne - marios

Marios Cafe

I go to Marios so often that my coffee arrives in front of me seconds after I've sat down. Definitely proves I'm a creature of habit. I find this especially comforting on those days I don't feel like speaking to anyone.
