A Few Pictures
A few pictures from my third day with the Leica.
Leica Day
I’m now shooting on a Leica M Type 240 with a Summarit 35mm f/2.5 lens. The Fujifilm X100s has been such an inspiring camera for me and upgrading to a modern digital Leica has really cemented what photography is to me these days. It’s about taking pictures with an enjoyable camera, and the Leica M lives up to expectations and exceeds them.
The images have huge dynamic range and lots of detail but feel perfectly familiar using VSCO’s Ilford HP5+ processing.
City & Catchups
Great day in the city with friends.
Irving with Simon & James
Catch ups with Simon and James. All this overcast stormy weather doesn’t seem to inspire me to shoot street photography so I’m hoping it goes back to being sunny soon!
Four Wheel Driving in the State Forest
Went for a drive out with my brother and his girlfriend to the State Forest to get out of town for the day.
The Blue Cats Gig
I played my first gig in about two years this weekend down at Port Macquarie with the rock ‘n roll band I used to be a part of.
The Richness Of Colour
Publishing to this black and white blog this year has been immensely satisfying and I don’t think I’ll have any reason to stop for the foreseeable future, but throughout the process of shooting entirely in black and white, you lose awareness of the richness of colour that the photographs could have.
This is a hint of the colour of the places I’ve been this year with personal and street photography.
The Royales with Wolfmother
Saw The Royales play with Wolfmother last night.
Weekend in Pottsville, NSW
Last weekend I stayed in Pottsville at a unit my mum was staying at on holiday. I ended up making a number of new landscapes, some of which I may have framed as gifts. See nickbedford.com/landscapes to see them in colour.
South Bank with Nikki
Caught up with Nikki at South Bank.
ALC Brunch
Brunch and some urban wandering with Connor and Kang today. I definitely got sunburnt.
