Week 6 – Svenja (Part II)

March 10, 2014 by 53weeks

I had another opportunity to shoot Svenja (can I actually say that without getting into trouble?) a couple of weeks ago. Some were taken with the Edge 80 which is a marvelous  lens, even if it is a bit of a b*gg#r to focus manually without “Liveview”. You can see more of Svenja here! Canon 5D Canon 50mm f1.4 & Lensbaby Composer Pro with Edge 80 Aperture and NIK

Week 3 – Singapore Girls….

February 17, 2014 by 53weeks

….or perhaps girls in Singapore would be more appropriate. Thanks for looking after us at the Singapore Air Show! I spent a lot of time recently trying to figure out whether to buy the X-Pro 1 or the M6. As you can see I opted for the X-Pro 1 (with the excellent Fujinon 35mm f1.4 lens) which gives me a little more creative leeway by using the option of converting the digital files to my favourite film type with VSCO.

Week 1 – Starlet….

January 28, 2014 by 53weeks

…..Svenja really is a “Starlet“ I had the opportunity to test some Fujifilm equipment the other day. Needless to say I was very smitten, as I still am with my X100, so I’ve expanded my Fuji portfolio just a little 😉 (Whereby the cameras and lenses for this shoot were all borrowed) I’d like to thank both Svenja and Katja, I had a great time that day!

…. and practicing. I’ve been wanting one of these for a long time, and when the opportunity arose I snapped it up. The Lensbaby “Edge 80” certainly is very different from anything I’ve ever used before and it should help my diminished creativity for the coming 53 weeks….. (There’s a hint in there somewhere) Anyway I’d better get practicing….. Canon 5D Lensbaby Composer Pro with Edge 80 Aperture and NIK

Week 41 – Uhlandstrasse

November 21, 2013 by 53weeks

I picked up my Yashica from the a CLA and had a little time to kill in the city, so I stopped by a photo shop to buy a roll of film. It was really dark, the Yashinon is not a very fast lens (f3.5) and with only having a HP5+ film @ ISO 400 I figured there was not much chance of getting any keepers. I shot the film at 1/15 (hand-held) and pushed the film during development to […]
