Wildlife

Im at my mums for lunch and noticed she still has quite a few decent sized frogs in here pond. My cat Cali tends to catch them and leave them dead on the living room floor along with birds and possums that iv heard about her hunting down aswell...
Theres hundreds of tiny tadpolls in there now aswell so she should have a lot of fun this summer.
Heres the only frog that didnt run away when i went out with my mums camera to get a flik no wonder they get eaten when they just sit on the rocks like this.

The Tranquillity

No matter how unproductive a full sunday of skateboarding can be shooting something like this at the end of it all can still make me feel like i acomplished something.

Houghton Ensign

This has got to be my trendiest post yeti would say.
This photos are absolute shit, they were basically an experiment with a Houghtons Ensign 2 1/4B.Box from the 1920's.
Alberts dad found the camera in one of his tenants backyards or something and so i was lucky enough to get my hands on it and have a play. Turns out its only worth $10 or something even with its antiqueness. It did have a few things wrong with it that im working on fixing up, the thing that i gues would be like a dark slide had come off and one of the rollers for the film snapped a pin so its a bit loose. Plus i had to take the whole thing apart to fix the shutter. But the whole camera is so basic in every way its just fascinating seeing how much cameras have changed.
Il have to take some photos of the box so you can see what im talking about sometime.
but anyway these photos are shit and to make things even trendier i chucked my bike in there...
The shutter speed is stupidly slow so nothing is verry sharp and the focus seems to be set more for long landscape style shots then close up stuff.
im sure il put a few more rolls through it before i get sick of wasting my time and money, but for now this is it.
