Weather Bomb

A couple of weeks back Wellington had a “Weather Bomb”, essentially this meant gale force winds and rain, flights were cancelled and the ferries stopped running. Not the sort of weather to take out a Rollei so took out the F5 with a 24mm Lens.

Iphone Umbrella

I’m pretty sure you don’t need to download an ap for this…

Electric Busker

I usually don’t take images of buskers unless I give them money but this one was too good to miss 🙂 Will have to track them down and give them a copy…

Sleeper On Cuba

With the weather being occasionally nice the sleepers come out of the woodwork… Its amazing what they can sleep through since there was a busker not more than 50 metres away getting the crowd to clap along and generally being noisy.

Movember Street Shoot On Cuba Street

So I finally got round to busting out my ringflash with my Rolleiflex and going up to people in the street and asking to take their image. I have to say that not a single person said no which after building it up in my head for such a long time was pretty damn cool.

If one of these shots is of you… Cheers and enjoy!

Ducks On Cuba Street

Walked past a couple of ducks on Cuba Street a few days ago… Maybe they were waiting for the shops to open…

Book Reading On Cuba Street

Before the Rugby World Cup Wellington was a much more peaceful place where people knew how to interact with each other in interesting ways that made for good photography. Now with lots more people around you would think this would happen even more, but no… Lots more people and not a shot to be found, well maybe a few :).

Shooting The Shooters: Video

Not sure what the box in front of the camera was for… Maybe some kind of pinhole effect?
