A few days in Saigon with the Nikon V1

September 2013: Spent a few days in Saigon, Vietnam shooting with the Nikon V1 and the 30-110mm zoom. Images processed in Silver efx.

Maddy with Fuji Klasse S

So I did a shoot, well...when I say I did a shoot, I did a shoot with digital and I took some frames with my Fuji Klasse S. I had a roll of Delta 400 in it, so I thought I may as well use it. I don't use Delta 400 too much, preferring Kodak TX. I find the Delta is a bit...over contrasty...that's not exactly what I mean, nor how it exposes, but that's the closest description I can summons on my first coffee of the day. Having not shot the Klasse too much I did find my framing was a bit off. Its a fantastic camera, that produces nice sharp shots. It's super solidly built and compact and fits in a little carry case on my belt.

I should shoot more film...I should probably do a lot more photography, but sometimes it's hard to find the time.I like film makes you work for an image, otherwise it's a waste of time. My favourite film is Efke 100. I find it harder and harder to get though. Here are some shots in outback NSW shot with Efke100.

So today I with the beautiful Wollongong model Paris. The shots turned out amazing and Paris was fantastic to shoot with. Sometime over the week, we had discussed exactly what we were going to shoot and at some point i'd joked "oh we can just shoot in Trakky daks...'' I didn't give it much more thought. Anyways obviously the lovely Paris did and she turned up with her favourite pair of comfy trakky daks. What a great attitude! So since she brought them, I insisted we shoot them. She rocked it. A fantastic attitude and an unreal model.
