A Couple Of Angels

I haven’t posted any images of cemeteries for a while, having been concentrating more on street photography, so here goes a couple of shots from two different walks.

I really like the Bokeh in the first image…

The second image is from a roll I took with an extension tube and a 50mm lens with the purpose of getting images of textures and things that would be good to use with blending layers etc… Since I took it I haven’t had much motivation to sit in front of my computer much so maybe I will get round to it one day…

Yet Another Sleeper

Last weekends sleeper find… The poll I ran last week was mostly inconclusive so I am still trying to work out what I should call this category of images.

Wellington Triathlon

Triathlon in Wellington on the 12th of March… Amusingly this was being run in the harbor in the midst of a tsunami alert throughout the Pacific. Although the risk was relatively low and the event would be finished before the tsunami would have hit it still made me smile 🙂 especially when I asked one of the lifeguards about it and got back the typical kiwi reply of “she’ll be right”

It would have been nice once again to have my 80-200 f2.8 but thems the breaks since I wasnt really expecting to shoot at a triathlon…

Rainy Day

This was shot on a roll of Delta 3200 ISO Film pulled to 800 ISO. I ran out of film on a previous day (which was bright and sunny) and had to down rate  the ISO of my remaining film, of course the next day I was out it was really dark and I could have used the extra couple of stops to freeze this shot… Oh well 🙂

Food Vendor

A food vendor at a cultural festive held in Civic Square in Wellington… I guess his day wasn’t going so well… It probably didn’t help that it poured down with rain about 30 mins later.

I like how sometimes if you wait long enough it all come together 🙂

Hold Up Guy

The radio network covering the dragon boat races had up a large inflatable arch for people to walk under on their way to the event… Unfortunately not long after they put it up it got windy and had to be taken down… this was just after it got windy and just before they took it down.

Reflections On A Rainy Day

Trying to stay under cover on a rainy day I spotted this window to catch a reflection in…Yes that’s me on the right.

Witness Statement

Just finished the last episode of “The Wire” last night so I thought it was fitting to put up a police image 🙂

This is a shot on Manners Street that I alluded to in an earlier post with a speeding police car. He was getting witness statements from an accident scene where someone had been hit by a bus (no red ribbons involved) I did however hear the witness say that the bus sped up through the intersection (possibly to avoid stopping at a red light)…

Another Sleeper And A Poll

Yet another shot of a sleeper from last weekend… I think this one may be my favorite so far.

Also below is a poll to see which suggestion would be best for renaming the “sleeper” category…Take a few seconds and help me out 🙂

Will do a Homage to Sleepers next week with the poll results…

Short Sighted Texting

I guess she forgot her glasses since if she needed shade she could have just moved four steps to her left 🙂

Whats Going On?

Film is great for surprises… I didn’t notice what was going on in this image until I was just about to post it with the set of images from the Performance Arcade from a couple of weeks ago.

So what is happening in this image?… Really I have no idea… Anyone want to have a guess?
