Coney Island - Redux

September 15, 2016

As the saying goes, the best made plans of mice and men often go awry. The full day shooting I’d hoped for in Coney Island ended up being less than 1 hour. Although I had my trusted digital Fuji with me, on this trip I really wanted the practice of shooting medium format film. In addition to adjusting to the slower work flow of film, a threatening weather front was moving in, dramatically changing the light and mood. Anyway, caveats and excuses aside, these are the results of 3 rolls of Kodak Portra 160 and my near hour in Coney Island...

Till next time...

I was obviously a good boy in 2019, as at Christmas, Santa Claus flew via Japan and got me a 75mm f4.5 shift lens for my Pentax 67II. Where better to test the precise verticals than the clean lines of Milton Keynes…

It has nearly been 12 months since I got my hands on a Rolleiflex 2.8f, and whilst I'm not usually a reviewer of equipment, I'd like to share my experience of using this iconic camera and the inspiration behind me finally owning one.

What you doing?"

"What you doing that for?"

"Why here?"

I get these questions regularly when I'm out shooting, but never more so than my recent couple of visits to Milton Keynes.
