Shibuya panoramic reflections

Sean Wood — Thu, 11 Mar 2010 09:26:41 +0000

Inspired by one of Jon’s shots (You always give credit. I hate the way people take an idea from somewhere and pretend it’s theirs). I thought I’d see what happens when you put your panoramic camera in a puddle while it’s raining. I’m going to claim the colour version now before someone rips me off and [...]

Station life

Sean Wood — Sun, 07 Mar 2010 05:52:06 +0000

A wasted evening wasting film. C41 shot in Shinjuku station through a rangefinder and a 50mm lens. This could have been shot yesterday or 3 years ago. It’s now all the same to me.

Under a bridge

Sean Wood — Mon, 01 Mar 2010 23:28:49 +0000

This was shot quite a while ago. Not a flattering shot of the model but I like the atmosphere in the shot all the same.

Tokyo streets and stations

Random collection of old shots from around Shinjuku and a few stations.

Station stress

Sometimes the strangest elements all come together in a shot when you least expect them to.

Fragments of Tokyo

Sean Wood — Tue, 16 Feb 2010 05:23:04 +0000

So I managed to visit the Fragments of Tokyo exhibition at M Place in Shinjuku Gyoenmae and have to say I was impressed. Four very different styles of photography and each with a wonderful and different perspective of Tokyo. If you missed it you’ll have to bug them to put on another show. Below is each [...]

Mitsukoshi Nihonbashi exhibition

Sean Wood — Thu, 14 Jan 2010 16:02:56 +0000

I’ve kept this exhibition pretty close to my chest thus far. I wasn’t sure how it was going to turn out. It’s a very large group art selling festival (for want of a better description) which I’ve somehow managed to get myself involved in. Despite it having a very department store like feel I have to [...]

The Bogey hole

Sean Wood — Mon, 11 Jan 2010 14:31:52 +0000

Shot at about 5:55am on the 1st Jan 2010 in Newcastle, NSW, Australia. Managed to wake up at 4 and leave at 4:20am. Never actually saw the sun but was lucky enough to get a bit of colour in the clouds before everything went a flat bright colour. My next trip back there will be with [...]

When everything goes wrong

Sean Wood — Sat, 09 Jan 2010 14:44:34 +0000

Words of advice from the inexperienced. Wash your negatives thoroughly and DON’T change the type of film you shoot unless you have experience with the new film you plan to use. I’m a bit disappointed that I traveled thousands of kilometers to meet up with the family (which is hard considering everyone lives in a different [...]

2 million years ago

Sean Wood — Tue, 05 Jan 2010 15:26:14 +0000

It’s nice to know some things take a long time to change. Posting this while waiting for my film to be developed. Picture from a small part of the biggest island in the world.

Faces on white

Little experiment. Faces of Tokyo on white.

Relaunch of 50mm.jp site

Sean Wood — Wed, 16 Dec 2009 07:29:47 +0000

So I have re launched the 50mm.jp website. After a lot of playing around with different options I decided to keep pixelpost as the platform. Would have built it in wordpress but it was too difficult to make a seamless experience that handled images well, didn’t use flash, worked on the iphone and allowed you to [...]

Journey to the other side

Sean Wood — Sat, 12 Dec 2009 15:07:29 +0000

As so this is about where I am at the moment. The end of something and the beginning of something else. Here is hoping your journey from one thing to the next is an enriching one.

Crossing Kabukicho

Sean Wood — Thu, 10 Dec 2009 16:55:47 +0000

This shot is one I dug up from the archives again. To be featured in the upcoming update of the 50mm web site which hopefully should launch before the end of the year.

Fumi in Shinjuku Gyoen

An afternoon off with the wife in the park in Autumn.

Mt Mitake

Mt. Mitake on the final leg of a rather good walk. Taken some time ago.

Night moves

Sean Wood — Sat, 05 Dec 2009 15:56:57 +0000

Sometimes you have to revisit the past to see if you missed anything. I think after a LONG hiatus I might be ready to revisit this genre. We’ll see. Anyway, was a bit of fun to hang with the lads and shoot a few pictures.

Sunset at mt. Fuji

Sean Wood — Thu, 03 Dec 2009 16:27:46 +0000

I tell you I’m a bit hacked off with this Ektar 100 film. This is the 2nd roll I’ve shot of the stuff and this time I pushed it 2 stops. Should be no issues given I push another neg film and have never had problems. I have, however, had issues with getting Ektar developed [...]
