Darkroom Printing Session
Spent 6 hours in a darkroom on Wednesday. Managedto print these images at 12 x 16 inches on some heavy weight gloss RC paper.
Hopefully I will get to go again in a week or so andf print the other 5 – 7 images that will hopefully make up an exhibition.
A couple of Old Ladies and 7’s Chaos
This was taken at the Rugby 7’s after party. It amused me that there was a couple of old ladies wandering around amongst thousands of dressed up drunk young people. unfortunately after I spotted them they headed away from where all the costumed people were so this was the best shot I got.
Nikon F5, 50mm f1.8 lens, Ilford Delta 3200 film.
Protest
Protest from a couple of weekends ago (only just developed film last night)
I like that some of the people are looking directly at me and that some are avoiding me altogether.

Dragon Stilt Girl
Seen at Cuba Street Carnival, Wellington
I went to the street carnival initially shooting with my 80-200mm lens but gave up the tele lens and swapped to my 50mm after taking this one shot. I havent use my tele for street shooting since. Wish Id swapped lenses before I took this image.
I like the eye contact in this image.

Great Beards
If you want to see some great beards you should go hang round and wait for an ACDC stadium concert to get out.
These types of pics are why I love Delta 3200 film. Flash would have detracted from these images even well positioned flash and you can be a lot more stealthy without it.
These two guys were waiting for friends and heckling me pretty much every time I went to take a photo (I did miss a few shots because I was laughing so much). It made for a pretty amusing time.

Opps I Fell Asleep…

Old Car
Old car parked in the loading zone behind the Leftbank Shopping Arcade.
It seems to turn up every now and then with a band playing on the back of it.

I Never Knew The Greatest American Hero Wore Sandals

Motorcycle Protest Rally
A couple of months ago there was a big protest about the government putting the ACC levy up for motorcyclists.
I thought this would be a good time to go snap off some shots although when I got there it was a bit intimidating to say the least.
When I asked the guy on the left said cool but the guy on right wasnt in to it so I snapped the shot and left quickly. I especially liked all the gun club badges on the jackets… Possibly not people to mess with.
Really bad lighting on this one but once again I asked and one of them said cool. After I had taken the shot they asked me which paper I was working for 🙂 . Sometimes my Nikon F5 gives me some serious street cred.
Mostly I just liked this guys helmet which looked alot more fashionable than protective, also cool bike.
All images shot on Nikon F5 with 50mm f1.8 between f8 and f11 with Ilford Delta 400 ISO film. Sunlight was directly overhead with no clouds which made for very contrasty images.
Zombies and Wookies
Not usually seen togeather… Can wookies actually become Zombies? Were these infact Zombie Wookies?
Must have been the Rugby Sevens
