Lomo Lubitel 2 ~ Fuji Superia 400

This camera was a gift, from the very lovely slithy-toves... thank you slithy, for getting me into the world of 120 roll film!

The shots from this first roll came out better than I could have hoped. They're all in focus, for a start (maybe there's a knack to getting the focussing right, but I found the little magnifier and ground glass screen approach tricky, to say the least), and vaguely pointing in the right direction (I still find this aspect of using a TLR deeply unintuitive... whichever way I wanted to move the viewfinder, I completely failed to find the right combination of hand/arm movements. I must have made a comical sight, gingerly waving my arms about, in a sort of slow-motion expressive dance). And I seem to have got the exposure in the right ballpark, too, thanks to the sunny-16 rule.

Even with what is, by all accounts, an, er, less than pro-quality lens, I'm amazed by how much detail there is in a 6x6 negative. I love this camera... it's such fun! Even with the light leaks...

Kate and I took a trip to the Jasper-Pulaski Fish & Wildlife Area to see the Sandhill Cranes. It was not the peak time, but there were more than enough around to get our crane fix.

I spent the week looking after Danny while his parents were on a training course.

I just love the crazed look on his face here! =)

This play house was a definite favourite of his - especially as he could spy on me from up there!

Look ma, no haze. A requisite shot looking up from the vantage point of an intersection. The bottom-most building is one corner of the Roosevelt Hotel, where most of the TypeCon attendees are stationed.

what a pathetic existence.

Definately my favorite building in HK, I think - not that I can claim to have see many.

The reason this is my favorite building is because I find the colour of the facade increadibly beautiful - with it's bluish glass which most often is further inhanced by the blue sky.
