I put a 24 exposure roll of Fuji Superia 400 through the Horizon 202 panoramic camera recently but I lost about half because the spindle ripped the film as I was rewinding. I need to find a way to amend this problem because it seems to be happening more frequently.
Anyway, here are some shots:
These were taken after the Inner City Bypass open day. A small group of us from a photographic meetup group gathered together and were less than impressed by what the council were displaying, so we went and drank some coffee instead.
A few of us also went to the Cameraholics photographic fair at the end of May. Bargains were taken advantage of by all, including myself. I picked up a $1 (yes you read right) Voigtlander 35mm rangefinder … however it needs some work. A little bit of lens fungus and an unpredictable shutter that occasionally sticks.
The week before, a few mates gathered together at New Farm Park and threw some frisbees around, played some bocce, and endured semi-freezing gales.

It’s been a while since I last updated. A couple of things have happened in the interim period, nothing too outlandish though.
I bought an eeepc, which is an ultra-portable laptop, which I intend to set up as a tethered shooting computer with my 400D. At the moment though it’s more of a web surfing / portable entertainment device. I’ve hooked up a Lacie portable hard disk which expands its capabilities somewhat. I also installed Age of Mythology on it yesterday and it seems to run pretty nicely.
I’m pretty excited about going to see Iron Maiden next week, however I have to say that I am actually more excited about going to Melbourne for a week and hopefully going on a road trip down the Great Ocean Road. I’m going to take the Flexaret TLR and the Horizon 202 with me so I’ll be stocking up on film before I go. I’m also (obviously) taking the 400D with me. Should be pretty sweet.
I finally had some medium format film developed from the Flexaret on the weekend - here are the results (images link to flickr):
And a couple from the Horizon 202:
