For the last couple of weeks we have had a circus (Circus Aotearoa) set up on the field across from where I live. I had been meaning to photograph it at some stage but hadn’t really gotten round to it until I looked out the window one night and saw that a heavy fog had rolled in. Unfortunately once I had got my tripod and camera it was starting to disappear.
I went out anyway but it never came in as much…
We tried to get tickets to take the kids but it had sold out 😦 I heard it was really good. We ended up having our own circus at home to appease two disappointed children, one of whom has asked to have a circus every day since so it cant have been that bad 🙂

The light around town has been amazing of late as we start the slide towards winter. Unfortunately since most of my chances to go shooting are in the late afternoon they are starting to turn into night shoots… Rollei doesn’t handle street in the dark particularly well so I might have to start carrying my trusty F5 around as well in order to get some more street shots.

While stopping in Carterton for a bite to eat I noticed this sculpture with the light hitting it just right.

Believe it or not this wall was full of writing. Guess it was the same tonal range as the wall…

It seems like it has been raining forever so I cant even remember when I took this shot, probably a couple of weekends ago.
The main thing I liked about this one was the two seagulls perched on the heads of the two birds 🙂

More old stuff… This was taken at the end of the ACDC concert at the stadium in Wellington.
These two guys were heckling me as I was taking photos… In an amusing way not a bad way 🙂
