Maternity photography, part 2!

Al & Coen

It seems there has been quite a few ‘Part 2s’ around here lately, why mess up the vibe by calling this blog something else?

So a few month’s back I did a photo shoot with some friends who were having a baby, well long story short the baby’s been born and we had a follow up shoot. Finally, my fault entirely, I’ve finished editing up their photos so I figured I would post a load here for you to peruse.

Canon 8800f Scanner

Over the weekend I bought a new film scanner, the Canon 8800f. It’s pretty awesome so far and to give it a test I dug through the cupboards at home and into my ‘archive’ of film negatives, slides, and medium format positives and negatives, and started scanning a bunch of stuff into Aperture.

I was pretty happy with the quality of the scan, specially considering that my ‘archive’ is just a cardboard box and most of the negs were just thrown into the box about 10 or so years ago. Bit by bit over the next few weeks I’m going to clean and scan the lot in an effort to digitise my library.

Here’s a couple of quickly thrown together photos from ‘back in the day’ that I’ve uploaded to my photography website Mathew Packer Photography.

Both photos were shot at Mona Vale on the northern beaches of Sydney, and the skater is Adam Luxford. Hopefully I’ll get more slides and what not scanned in tonight
