Security

Captured this security guard at the NGV lurking in the shadows watching the patrons as they entered and exited.

I really enjoy the light as it highlights just enough of him in the shadows to see his entire silhouetted figure.

Courtyard Crossing

Another shot from the Minolta this morning. Quality on this shot wasn’t the greatest (i.e. it’s quite overexposed), but I like the aesthetic this gives. It’s left the slightest bit of detail in the highlights.

New Chancery Lane

Now for something completely different…

This week I’m putting forward a series of images that I shot on an old 1960′s Minolta A5 Rangefinder. I excitedly handed this roll of film over to a friend at PSC to process for me last week and although I did not get many shots correctly exposed (most not exposed at all) I had fun learning to work without the technological advancements afforded to me now.

Some of the inspiration for having a play with film is based on the work of a local photographer, Chris Zissiadis, who’s blog I follow.

Jagged Shadow

Very Graphical image this morning. Most of you looking won’t appreciate what I see in this but none-the-less I will share part of my vision.

Solitary

This image was taken as part of an assessment to create an image that created mood with light. Some of the restrictions I guess you could call them where that you where to take the images within your home environment and where not to use speedlights.

I am fairly pleased with the results. This lonely chair sitting alone in the shadows is confined to a life of solitude by the walls that surround it.
