A beautiful video using a technique called Shift and Tilt it sort of makes everything look rather toy like. This guy does some great work.

:) Zoo redux







random

I reckon its book in blues, its been so long since I felt this way. I hate the idea of going to work tomorrow and not seeing my kids till the next day. Such is life eh

sunday at the zoo.

We went to the Zoo today, it was Isabella's first trip there and we had a really good time the girls were well behaved the crowds held off at least till we left anyhow. All in all a good weekend.

Polaroid Throwaways




This photographic medium really fascinates me at the moment. Sure we had polaroids in the house when i was young but i really have no recollction of playign aroudn with them. These are the negatives? can i even call them that? the images found on the side of the film you throw away. I didnt see anyof them when i took the black and white pictures on the old polaroid film but when i used the fuji colour film today i found these. I reckon i will photoshop these and see what happens

Polaroid - Colour




The snap shos in colour really tend to evoke a very 1970s feeling both in the tone and colour of the picture. Its interesting as i am using a very current film/paper and yet the impression I get is from the past.
Update- I have been staring at the colour pictures and they really are so different from the black and white ones. It feels as if in colour every pretense has been stripped away leave the subject laid bare in the frame. While in black and white you can still hide within the shadows. I find this fascinating.

hues


Its intentional. blowing out the colours, grain, its all intentional.



I am seriously thinking of printing these in a3, framing them and hanging them behind the bar

to lomo or not to lomo





i am thinking of getting a lomo camera, but i dont know if i will like the effects so i played around abit in photoshop to see. the first pictures are the original, the second are the edited.
