Take Shelter Part 1
First lot of shots from Take Shelter gig on Saturday. It was held at the WW2 fortress at Palmers Head which overlooks the airport. I have to say that it was a super sweet location to have a trio of Punk bands.
I got there late and totally missed Johnny and the Felchers as well as the first half of Numbskull.
Still have some film from my Rolleiflex to develop and will hopefully have that sorted by tomorrow…
Check out the bands

Great vantage points were to be had.
Last of all was Meth Drinker

Rollei’s Back!… But I Havent Had A Chance To Shoot Yet :(
So I picked up repaired Rollei on Wednesday afternoon and I have to say that the repair guy did a really good job. As well as fixing the shutter he also gave it a really good clean and fixed up a few other small issues as well as re timing and checking all the shutter speeds.
The unfortunate thing is that since I have picked it up I haven’t been able to get out and shoot and with working both days this weekend the likelihood of getting a full roll through for next week is looking pretty poor.
So that being said here goes a shot from pre-repair Rollei of some timelapsing with my D90 🙂

Things To Do While Your Rolleiflex Is Away Being Repaired #6
Photograph My Left Foot.
I just realised the other day that in the last 30 years my foot has been like this I have never actually taken a photo of it…
I was run over when I was about 8 years old, totally my fault crossing the road without looking. The back wheel of the car ran over my entire foot but skidded over the last two toes basically ripping them off. One was stitched back on and the other was just left as a stump. The doctors had been planning to take the stump off when I was older to make my foot look more normal but I like it the way it is 🙂 . I was told I would never have very good balance on this foot but after a lifetime of skiing and skating my balance is better than most people I know.
I keep forgetting that most people either don’t know or have forgotten about it… Its not a big deal its just part of who I am 🙂
This might be one of the last posts like this since I go and get Rollei back from repair this afternoon 🙂 It had its shutter fixed and a good clean and check so it should be sweet 🙂

Things To Do While Your Rolleiflex Is Away Being Repaired #5
Catch Up On Things You Meant To Do Last Year.
This was a series I did last year. Every time Samantha went to sleep in the car I took a photo of her with my Canon half frame camera. I always meant to put them together and this is a bit rough but there you have it… They were taken over a 6 month period.
I am starting to get Rollei withdrawl and walking round with my F5 just isn’t the same 😦

The Day Rollei Died
Sorry to say I have been a bit quiet of late but unfortunately my Rolleiflex decided to up and die on me. Its currently away hopefully being repaired (fingers crossed).
This is probably the shot where it happened.
I will keep you informed on how it is going… Time to do some more experimentation with digital while its away 🙂

Fort Balance At Night
10 minute exposure at Fort Balance. This is the last shot Rollei took before having a bit of a malfunction which meant the 20 minute exposure didn’t come out 😦 Might be time to send Rollei away for a bit of a service.

Playground Rocking Horse
I found this out the back of a motel in Lower Hutt… It was on a lean in front of a pile of broken wood… Unfortunately the light was super bright so I will have to go back sometime to get some better shots.
