Street Walk #2 Melbourne with M4-P and TriX400


This time I was able to take the M4-P with a 50mm cron out to museum and around Melbourne and my first time shooting with a Kodak Tri-X 400. I am still pretty new at the black and white game, but Im really starting to love black and white film. It just simplifies everything and makes you focus on what's important.


I thought the girl standing on the concrete block taking photos was kinda interesting.




There was random girl standing on the opposite side of the street crossing looking off to the side, thought it was pretty perfect.



I really like how with just a little of highlights enveloped by the negative space really brings the cars out.




 I quite like this shot here, I saw this guy coming out of the bank. I was not expecting him to have such a classy hat, so I took a photo mid-hatting.


I saw this lady sitting on the bench and there was a harsh light coming from right, it just make the shot.


Couple days later, we went into the city to visit the Victoria State Library with a couple of family friends visiting Melbourne.



I saw this painting frame, it was so intricate and thought it was make a beautiful black and white photo seeing all the details casting shadows.




You just gotta love the bokeh from a summicron, everything is so creamy like ice cream. In this shot I was thinking of shooting the student down there, I thought it could be more interesting to blur them out and focus on the antique lighting.








Thanks for once again coming to my blog. I hope you enjoyed my first time with the Tri-X 400. If you like the photos, please give a like and a share; and please comment for a critique. Stay tune for the next street walk.

X-Carve - My First CNC Experience

Image
Hi everyone, my CNC has finally arrived couple weeks ago. I pre-ordered it about a month or two ago, it took ages to get to me. From my knowledge, INVENTIBLES packs them individually and customizes it for every customer as you can get upgrades for your CNC from day one. I got some of the upgrades that were recommended by the forum, like ACME lead Z-axis rod and drag chains. I get it with my own money, so cost effectiveness was the key.  All components were neatly packed with bubble wrap. The whole package came in one piece. They were all individually wrapped for every step, so you only needed to open a box for the specific step.  The online manual was very helpful. They have video instructions for every step. I would watch the tutorial and then read the written manual for conformation.  The first step was to build the X- carriage. As the first thing to build, it was quite intimidating but soon enough I got the hang of using the eccentric n...

Box Hill Camera Sunday Market - 20/09/2015

Hi everyone, welcome to my blog. This time will be a visit to the twice a year Local Camera Market, but this is actually my every first time there as well. Do you guys have local second hand markets like this? Let me know if you do. Post a comment or message me. So, the local market is at the Box Hill Town Hall, in Melbourne. I was really excited to see what bargains I could find or just to see what antiques I could see. There was a lot of cameras, cameras that I have never even heard of. Most of them are older than me, probably four times as old as me. The venue was packed with photographers, sellers and enthusiast that are so passionate about photography. Many of them have a huge collection of cameras that they have collected all their lives. When you looked at the camera, you could see how much they had been through. I also heard from one of the sellers, that they got one of their cameras from police auctions. It was once the camera of a prince in some country, b...
