A policemans lot, a photo by Davidap2009 on Flickr.

I was writing an update to me gear page and looking at some shots I took with my FM2. This is one of my favs. I thought I’d share with you.

This is a shot I took at a miners strike demo in London back in the eighties. Policemen and women forming a corden before the march arrives .I love the way he has his hand on the policewoman just like he is caught in an embarrassing moment.I shouted to get the policeman to turn his head and snapped the shot.
I used my Nikon FM2 and a 100mm E lens . Film was Ilford XP2. It’s a fun candid of a serious moment .
This is a trial scan from my new Epson V700. .

A strange and weird one this . I took the original with my Hasselblad on Portra 400.Then did nothing with it . I was reading about an app called Instant App.
Ijust had this picture in the library so I pushed the sliders around .I kinda like it .

Its Been A Long Time.

To Give you some idea of just how long this VW has stood here look at the wing mirror grown into the tree. The arm has rotted away you can still see the impression..

Car Cemetery III (Explored.), a photo by Davidap2009 on Flickr.

Todays shot: This I shot on my trusty F4s with my Nikkor 20mm.
The film I used was Rollei RPX400 which is new to me. I used Caffenol C-L Semi-stand for 55mins with gentle inversions at 2,4,8,16 and,32 mins. Which gave a much better result than the 70mins I tried before(Thanks Eirik) .
This shot is my fav of the day so far. I just love the way the tree has grown through the car. The Car looks quite sad as if it’s pleading for help to remove it .
Have a great weekend :0)

The Car Cemetery (Explored), a photo by Davidap2009 on Flickr.

Welcome to the Car Cemetery.
Just over an hours drive from my home, just inside the Swedish boarder lies one of the most fascinating places I have been. A Car scrap yard which has become a Cemetery since everything has been left to nature.
To begin the series I thought This iPhone shot would make a great start.

Gargoyle

I took this shot in 2006 with a Sony digital compact. It’s been my avatar on Flickr since the first day I started there. It’s part of the decoration on the cathedral in Trondheim. It’s by one of my Favourite Sculptors. Gustav Vigeland.
