...and it seems to have started bang on time this year, my son and I headed of for a wander round the waterfront.  A lovely calm, sunny day.  Totally unlike today, which is a real Wellington winter day - a biting cold southerly with lashings of rain!

I had a roll of APX400 that I'd loaded in the YashicaMat LM, and thought I'd better shoot it before either of them decomposed.....

The calm before winter:


Old art-deco Post Office building, now appartments:


Shadows and light on the walls of Te Papa (Museum of New Zealand):


And my travelling companion:


APX400 in PC-TEA 1+50 for 9 minutes.

Thanks for sharing this series. The day seems very calm and sunny, it comes through in the pictures.

APX400 was a great film.

Excellent, as usual, Paul.  Love the reflections in Post Office and the superb composition in Te Papa.

41C here today hit the record. I think I want something else. Yes APX400 was a dream film in 120. You did it right.

Beautiful, Paul.  Wellington seems like a truly lovely city.  The waterfront pic is similar to what we see here in Corpus Christi.
