BRONTE DIVERS and other beach  pictures click on this link... BRONTE

The Australian film rolls, in reverse date order. Most on Fuji stock, and most if not indicated otherwise, are with 50mm lens. Black and white shots are taken on chromagenic film either Ilford  XP2 or the cheaper, but slightly inferior Kodak T400CN. 

This section is raw output. In other words out the camera and into the archive. It includes outtakes bloopers and other crap that is normally associated with getting the shots worth showing in latest and the other online galleries. So please view these images in this context. They do not constitute my portfolio. 

Some of the rolls from last year, as well as those intended for mature audience are stored on www.imagestation.com. Netscape users may experience some difficulties or even browser crashes with the Imagestation site. Try upgrading to latest Netscape for your platform.

	180201	Bronte Pool was feeling a little bored with my creativity so slowed the shutter down and went for abstract shapes and colours.
	130201	Bronte Pool. Same day - today I get asked three times what I am doing. I am just doing the pool I say and all that jazz. I am now beginning to look for new angles. Perhaps I will take the plunge soon.
	120201	Bronte Pool , these were taken on A Monday. I normally do Bronte on a Sunday. A different crowd. I guess less people from other suburbs.
	110201	Opening ceremony of Mardi Gras, Some of the shots are for a panorama, a good way to burn film, (9th Feb) QE2 leaving, Mike at Picton Microbrewery, Photos at Bronte Pool on 12th Feb
		(090201) PG  James in Wooloomooloo, Sharon and I both photographing him. Not sure if her films will be online though.
		(080201) PG Mike with the other QE2, which was in town for two nights on its world tour. The  Beginning of the James Shoot, with Sharon (who can be seen in some of the shots)
	050201	Fuji once again, this film a little better than the one before, still you can see that I had a lot of trouble with the sea spray as well as failing lens mechanics.
	040201	Kodak Gold 100, and a failing Tokina at-x 35-70 zoom. Actually it was involved in a little accident here around 6 yrs ago, and it should have been written off then. Oh well have learnt the lesson. Back to standard lens from now on. This roll was rescanned too, and is slightly scratched. A cursed roll.
	290101	Bronte Divers, yes More Bronte.. elusive Bronte, Blue Mountains, well an angle on it, the bush. Sarah Wadd paying homage to  Rineka Dijkstra from "World Without End" exhibition at the Art Gallery NSW - couple at Commodore Heights Lookout in Ku-Ring-Gai National Park, Dominic
	250101	B Bronte Divers, a few "off the hip" shots, so one or two inevitable misses
	240101	A Sarah Paddington pink wall which appears blue for some odd reason, colour balanced here and there.
	230101	More from the Manly Marrickville divers, Ferry shots on way back from Manly, Sydney Bridge walk pics, and pics from Rosebay ferry.

	140101	Bronte divers
	12 2000 (last year) 22
	123400	Marta starts the last film of 2000, 2 thru 15 are part of a panorama sequence. ie non composition, these will be stitched together. A couple of shots of Adrian, although he was not in the mood for it. Also a neighbouring Canon photographer who didn't speak a word of English.  Film finished with handheld firework shots. (9pm version)
	123300	Awdah taken at Coogee beach -NYE morning, with Mike playing guitar in background - XP2 film, windy day causes some hassles, the shoot improves when we attract a crowd for the last few shots.
	123200	Marta at Lavender bay, note how her  image develops from the first few frames to the great "veiled" end shots.   Film ends with  Awdah at Coogee. The mood of these shots is quite different from the XP2 film above.
	123100	The Marty Roll taken against another local wall. Marty, is a trained subject and so was easy to capture. Sharon joins in towards the end of the roll
	123000	The Sharon Roll. I anticipated a difficult shoot. Photographers just hate their photos taken..and  the expectations are significantly higher. I feel I have managed to capture her essence. An early appearance of Marty, Sharons partner,  as the roll comes to an end.
	122900	Running off a film that originally tried to capture a moon over Sydney. Includes Bronte, but no jumpers today (where are they all?) Last few frames are of Sharon
	121100	The second roll, sometimes you leave the motor drive on and the roll is over in less than a minute- Its heaps cheaper to leave it off, but catching "the moment" is even more difficult on manual and  less wasteful. Scan not quite up to the usual standards
	121000	Bronte beach jumpers and divers, with a little rapid fire shooting. This roll and 121100 required a fair bit of tweaking to work on the screen. Now where from here? Scan not quite up to the usual standards
	120300	The Bondi to Coogee Beach walk. A hot midday sun and just a 50mm lens shoot.
	120400	Part deux of same day. (An exhausted) Marta at roll end- Couple of  Awdah to finish off the film
		(301100)  PG WARNING   For Mature audiences. Male nudity ahead.  Please turn back if that offends you- Ross in b&w for Sharons show, "my favourite thing" at the shoebox gallery- I had heaps more trouble with this shoot than Ross, who was the  perfect model, all composed and ultra laid back. The images are stored on IMAGESTATION.COM and will open in a separate window
	271100	Awdah & Mike outside the Rose Hotel, quickie, 20 minute job.
