Anderson Wedding

A few weekends ago Ian (the brother of my better half) and Tara tied the knot in the Sutherland Shire in what was a beautiful and fun filled day! Although I was there as a guest and not working, I still couldn't help but take my camera along and snap away at the couple who are just so in love! So here are a few of the snaps I got from the day, and by the end of the year the wedding gallery of my website will be updated with all the latest pics from the previous year.

Editorial Style Shoot at Darkes Forest, NSW

So I have already posted about the shoot down in Darkes Forest a few weeks ago, but I finished editing the photos and trying out some new vintage style effects on some of them. A selection of them are below!

My new toys!

I have always loved film cameras, and over the past two years I have obtained several film cameras, most of them the Lomo brand, so not the old authentic film cameras, but none the less, still film cameras with the lovely film finish.
While travelling through Russia last year though I stumbled across a large flea market in Moscow and found an amazing stand selling old soviet cameras, and I saw many cameras that had been remade into 'LOMO' branded cameras like the LC-A and Lubitel, as well as loads of other brands I had never heard of. Unfortunately I was backpacking and loading up my pack with heavy cameras was just not an option, so I took notes of the ones I liked and knew that the internet would help me find them, and finally I got my hands on some!
Welcome to my camera family, the Fed 3 and Fed 4. Complete manual cameras from USSR, built like Russian tanks and personally I think they are stunning cameras! Both are in great condition and I can not wait to give them a whirl! Although I think it will take a while to get used to them.
Here are a few snaps of the new cameras in all their glory!
