Bike Track Jump Packing Down
The bike track across the road is still under construction and it seems that they are having problems packing down the bigger jumps.
Problem solved, just drive your car back and forth up and down them… This tactic seems to be working pretty well.
I am hanging out for them to be finished to go shoot some extreme air time… Rollei might have to give way to 7 frames a second F5 and 35mm Film 🙂

Spray Artist on Cuba Street
This is where the low angle of the Rollei really comes into its own.

Running Girl
On Cuba Street in the middle of a heavy downpour.
I saw her running across the mall from the money machine and totally thought I had fired the shot too early (possibly a little bit early) and missed her altogether. Film is great for surprises.

Somes/ Matiu Island Lookout
As a family we went to Somes/ Matiu island in the Wellington harbour. The island has been used for many things from quarantine of both people and animals to internment for foreign nationals at time of war… It has a lighthouse which was built-in 1900 to replace the lighthouse built-in 1866 (images to come) and the remains of an anti-aircraft battery not to mention its a pest free zone so there are no rats or mice or other nasties so it is a safe haven for many of New Zealand’s endangered wildlife.
