Classic 35mm Monochrome Film Street Photography Bondi Junction

Some people like vinyl records, they appreciate the richness of sound and tone. Today is about reconnecting with old street photography techniques by using 35mm film. Experiment with black and white film which has contrast and a bit of grain. Try it out. We will look for opportunities in the plaza outside Bondi Junction Westfields, here we may see a variety of people going about their business. Dig out your old film camera if you have one or buy a disposable film camera. The cost of a disposable camera will probably less than your lunch. Process your film with Camera House, Digi direct or Super 8 at Newtown. These stores will have disposable cameras or if they don’t sell them, they will refer you to a store that does. A roll of 36 exposures costs around $ 20 to develop your negatives and scan. A limit of 2 rolls of 36 exposures will apply for the day. These retail stores will process your negatives and scan them. Once they are scanned they a sent to your email. If you have Lightroom or Photoshop, you can then edit the images and post on Sydney Street Photographers Meetup site. Film choice is a personal issue however I would recommend Kodak Tri x 400 or Ilford HP 5 for street photography. If you prefer street portraits, I find Ilford Delta 100 very pleasing. It has finer grain and smooth’s out any imperfections in the subject’s skin. For street photography, I would suggest 50mm or a 35mm lens. Street Portraiture 50mm or 85mm. If you choose street photography as the challenge of the day. It would be a good idea to find your spot and wait for the subject to enter your frame. You may find this method more rewarding than chasing a subject for a photo. The idea is to capture a moment, a scene, something that may tell a story. It is not easy and it will be more challenging than using a digital camera. That’s the point of this exercise, to try something new and experiment with a new medium of photography. Join in and give it a try. Afterwards we may like to go to Level 5, Westfields Food Court for a selection of food and drinks. Cheers Ian.

SSP WED - Northside Chat & Edit

Meet for chat over a drink and snack or dinner. Tonight, if you are in the mood, we can discuss editing images. Editing images allows you to refine your communication to the viewer of the image’s story. I will bring a laptop with Lightroom Classic installed. We can discuss any aspect of editing your images. Most image editors are similar, so even if using a different editor, the techniques are similar, mainly due to the menu system. Feel free to bring image(s) on a usb stick, SD, microSD memory card or an iPhone that supports Airdrop. Using Lightroom we can work on extracting the story of the image. More info on the venue here chatswoodrsl.com.au Plenty of free parking available nearby as well as the bus stop at the door or metro & rail just 50m away.

PROSECUTION - German FF @ Palace Central

***PROSECUTION - German FF @ Palace Central - - -*** Prosecution is an engrossing tale of good versus evil that cleverly combines legal drama and thriller for a powerful and urgent story about the realities of Germany’s judicial system. With all the resources and authority of the state behind her, self-assured young German-Korean prosecutor Seyo Kim (Chen Emilie Yan) is determined to confront far-right violence in eastern Germany. But when she becomes a target, surviving a racist attack, Seyo decides to investigate on her own, defying explicit orders from her superiors and putting her life further at risk. When she finally succeeds in bringing one of the attackers to trial, she fights to expose him as part of a wider right-wing network, digging deep into her office’s archives and weaving a tangled web of connections. But throughout the trial, Seyo begins to learn what it means to trust the pursuit of justice in a state that applies double standards and downplays far-right violence, as the system’s myth of objectivity begins to crumble. The movie starts at 8.45 pm so I will meet you about 20 mins before. Please only RSVP ATTEND if you are certain you will be there. Tickets can be bought on the night at the box office or online below. I have seat F7. **[https://www.palacecinemas.com.au/movies/ger26-prosecution](https://www.palacecinemas.com.au/movies/ger26-prosecution)** Any questions please put a message in the comments below or if on the day text me on 0498826506 Ta Maggy
