Panda In Tight Gold Shorts?

Lunch time wander this time… Sometimes stuff just jumps out at you like this guy… I’m assuming that he was on a stag type deal and his friends made him dress this way but you never know…

Wolverine Vs Police

I guess even superheroes have bad days…

Technical Difficulties

I am currently waiting for my Rollei to be assessed by a camera repair person (Phil Jacobs in Petone) due to the fact that the shutter has been lagging a bit which I have mentioned in previous posts. Hopefully it just needs a bit of a clean…Fingers crossed.

It feels a bit weird walking around without it and I keep seeing shots that I am missing… Luckily I have just processed 5 films so I have a few images yet to put up 🙂

Anyway here goes an image of Boba Fett doing a live cross from the rugby 7s catwalk…

Shooting Stance…Who’s Best?

A couple of shooters at the Gardens concert…

Who has the best style?

Exhibit A…Looks like a 70-200 f2.8 of some description…Nicely braced for the low light

 

Exhibit B… Some kind of compact zoom with a viewfinder?

Who has the best style?

Ferry Services

A list of services provided on the Somes Island Ferry 🙂

I wonder how long that took to do with no one watching.

Giraffe Sequence

Was talking to someone the other day about taking images of giraffes and he was complaining about not being able to get a close shot even though he was using a 300mm lens… So I was at the zoo the other day and after I shot a couple of shots on the Rollei (which I still have to develop) I threw a 50mm lens onto the D70s to see what I could get…

Lets just say I got a bit of a surprise when he came up and tried to eat my camera strap 🙂

I had to stop shooting because he came too close and was closer than the minimum focusing range of the lens…

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 🙂

Bag Slogan

So much going on in this image…took me a while to notice the slogan on the bag.

How To Stack Your Family

Seen on lower Cuba Street during the Santa parade.

I’m turning into the person who goes to these events to take images of the crowd and not the actual event 🙂
