What with my manic attempts to move out of my flat by tomorrow, I haven't had time to post much recently, so here are some of the Contax shots I've had developed recently. I like these shots. I think of any film I've taken with the T2, this film probably had the highest proportion of decent pictures. Not that that was to do with anything more than luck, but still, nice to get.

The last time I was invited to a wedding, I managed to take 3 photos in the entire night. This time, I was determined to take more, and bought a new film on the way. In the end, I got so overexcited snapping away, that I had to leave the after-after party karaoke to buy another film, which I proceeded to shoot all of without adjusting the focus at all from one shot to the next. I don't think I was attempting some kind of peculiar avant-garde technique, I think it may have been just because I was a little bit pissed. Anyway, these were the best shots from the night - I really like the two shots of Seri and Jacob. There's a calmness in the storm there. Congratulations again to Matt and the missus.
Golden week has finished. It wasn't the best one to be honest; I was in bed for the first two days with a cold, and then the weather wasn't great for our barbeque on the third day, but it was still a nice break from work. These are some photos I took over the weekend (and a couple from a bit earlier) with my T2. I think I am starting to get the hang of it a little more and I really like the colours the camera produces. Really nice greens. Click the photo below to see the rest:
For Christmas, Eri got me this Contax T2. It's basically a point-and-shoot camera, but with an excellent Carl Zeiss Sonnar F2.8 lens which means it can take quite nice pictures. I still haven't quite worked out how to use it properly - the display through the viewfinder still confuses me a little, as does the exposure compensation, but on the whole, I was pretty happy with the few roll I got back. These are not cross-processed either, or touched in Photoshop. Pretty interesting colours and definition. I'm looking forward to shooting more with it, especially if not cross-processing means that the films can be developed in 30 minutes. I forgot how nice it is to be able to do that! As usual, click to see the other photos.
