St. Michaels Church, Malawi

St Michaels Presbyterian Church, Blantyre, Malawi, built about 1891 by Scottish missionaries.

I'm not sure if I have uploaded this one before, but Kathleen Johnson inspired me to put it up with her "Faith on Film" series at her blog My Vintage Cameras

I have more Malawi church photos here.

I took this about two years ago while working as a volunteer in Malawi. I used my trusty Nikon F801s, with cheap Quantarray 35-80 zoom, Fuji Superia 200 iso consumer film, hand held, developed and extremely badly scanned by my crummy local lab. Edited with the Gimp.

Pinhole Camera

DIY Photography
Pinhole Photography – History, Images, Cameras, Formulas
OK, let's start making our pinhole camera!

Any takers? :-)

Fancy building your own camera?

This person did and got great results to boot!

I am probably too lazy to tackle this, but it certainly looks like an interesting project! Has anybody else out there done something similar? Let me know, send a link and I will put it on the blog. Please remember to include sample photos.

My Angel!

As everybody knows, it is really tough to take a picture of an angel because they always come out so shiny. You lose the details in the glow and get what you see above, a shiny silhouette of a human like figure.

So imagine my surprise when I took a photograph of my wife with my Samsung D900 cell phone camera and discovered that I was right all along, she really is an angel!

Jonathan Canlas

One of my favourite wedding photographers is Jonathan Canlas, his style and method is somewhat different to a lot of other wedding photographers. I love the "look" of his photos.

You can find his blog here: Jonathan Canlas Photography
There is an interview with him here: Interview with Photographer Jonathan Canlas
His official website is here: Jonathan Canlas Photography

His work is really worth a look, go check it out!
