Your Not in this Alone
“Your Not In This Alone”
Found in an alley off Leftbank in Wellington just before Easter
More Driving
More driving Pics from last Friday with various cameras superclamped to the front grab handle of a Land Rover Discovery
Nikon D70s with 18-70mm lens an ND8 filter and an ND6 graduated filter.
The ND8 was to get a longer shutter speed since it was in the middle of the day and the ND6 Grad was so the sky didnt burn out
With the first 2 images I liked the way that the car infront is still kinda sharp but you get the feeling of movement from the sides being blurry.
Tripod set up in the backseat with the front 2 legs in the passenger footwells and the back leg flat and jammed into the space between the backrest and the seat.
Nikon F5 with 19-35mm lens, Ilford Pan F+ 50 ISO film, ND8 filter and an ND6 graduated filter.
Saw an awsome article at work today from Phase One that was basically showing how they did a whole lot of car images and it gave me an idea for a shoot along the same sort of lines.
Hopefully I can convince some people to help me to hang out the back of 1 vehicle while taking images of another vehicle… Will have to wait and see what happens.
Forbidden Fruit?
Shot on Maymia RB67… Was slightly annoyed that I cut the end of the key off.
The idea was to make the light look like it was coming out of the apple.
Red Rocks Hilux Rescue
Apparently its best not get stuck too close to the water when the tide is coming in and there is no way to get another vehicle close enough to pull you out.
I figured that there were enough people pushing so I could stand back and take photos
Best quote of the day from the boy on the left of the frame as the Hilux drove away up the beech “Hey wait for me, Im just a kid”
Capoeria in Cuba Street
Saw this happening one Saturday while having a quick lunch break from work.
This is the reason I always try to carry my camera with me
Happy Easter and Fatherhood Friday 3
Since having kids I have found myself adopting or making up phrases, here are a sample of a few I seem to use the most:
Less talk more walk
Lets go monkeyo
Faster like Pasta
Red man, red man, wait, wait, wait… Thanks Amy
Sam: now crawling and into everything shes not supposed to be
Taken with Nikon D70s 50mm f1.8 Nikon SB80 Speedlite at 1/2 power bounced off the ceilling
As well I have started spontaneously singing at random times when with my kids, usually at the supermarket or similar. Top hits include:
Move it, Move it
Creep… Minus swearing sometimes
Hakuna matata (The Lion King)
It is also worrying when your wife borrows your 3 year olds accessories (in this case a scarf) and even though they asked if said 3 year old wanted to wear them and were told no a tantrum enschews because she now wants to wear it herself. This is a situation I have never even dreamed that would have to be resolved.
Monday night Highlight… Having to use hiemlich maneuver on wife choking on steak
Emily: Currently has cough, cold and high temperature
Taken last year with Nikon F5 50mm f1.8 and Ilford Delta 400
Surfer and the Storm
Shot after a big storm overnight… It still seems crazy that these guys wait for the big waves to go past and then jump onto the back of them from the rocks to get into the water… I guess it saves lots of time paddling.
Typical New Zealand Photo
On the way back from a Castle mission had to stop for some cows crossing the road… Had camera, will take photos
This is for all the Non New Zealanders out there… Apparently there are more cows in NZ than people, not to mention a couple of sheep

Fridge
This is my fridge… Used for storing film and alcohol… Sometimes I put food in it also….
Same shot but two different ways

Ilford Pan F 50 Film
ND8 filter and ND4 Grad
f22 at 2 seconds

f2.8 at 1/5000 second
Last week I was testing out an expired bulk roll of film for the first time and feeling quite sleep deprived couldnt face taking it into my usual urban jungle setting so went to the beach instead. It was reasonably overcast but I was impressed how the film handled and the tonal range that I got out of it. Considering that it expired in 2007 it still seems to be working well.
I like how even though the 2 photos have almost the exact same composition the feeling that they create is vastly different
Hijacked and Amusing Signs
Mind Your Step Because you’re Drunk 🙂
Nice… Even has punctuation. Found in Leftbank Arcade off Cuba Street, Wellington.
Sounds like good advice
Not sure if this one is hijacked or just amusing
That signs got Ears? Beware Ears Ahead?
