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.

Saturday night was my friend Steve's stag night in preparation for his nuptuals next weekend. I took the Lomo with me and the flash, but for some reason the photos all came out a little, well, shit. These are probably the best of a bad bunch. Also, I am going to experiment a little here with the "continue reading..." function of the blog. I think the lightwindow gallery confuses some people and they don't see all the photos, so hopefully this should help fix that. For those that know how to use the lightwindow and prefer that, the usual gallery is still there, click this first photo, otherwise click the "continue reading" link:
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.
