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 🙂

Spray Artist on Cuba Street
This is where the low angle of the Rollei really comes into its own.

Running Girl
On Cuba Street in the middle of a heavy downpour.
I saw her running across the mall from the money machine and totally thought I had fired the shot too early (possibly a little bit early) and missed her altogether. Film is great for surprises.

Traffic Photographer on Manners Street
Just after Manners Mall became a bus road this guy turned up for about a week… We initially thought he was there to catch buses that were running red lights but it turns out he was there to take images of cars going through the “Bus Only” section of the road, possibly to give them tickets.

A Couple of Cemetery Half Frames
A couple more Half Frame panos, this time of a couple of different cemeteries.
The top image is from the cemetery overlooking the Terrace in Wellington and the other is at Karori Cemetery also in Wellington.
I Like how the top images have been run together on this one… It definitely adds a bit of atmosphere to the image.

More Building Demolition
Another shot from the Lombard parking building looking across to a bit of demolition…

Fatherhood Friday 30: Twas The Night Before Christmas… Half Frame Styles
Well kinda the day before christmas and in some parts of the world when I publish this, the day before the night before christmas… Wow that was pretty confusing…
As you can probably guess the girls are all pretty excited and riled up (all 3 of them, big one included).
One last shopping foray to complete for the girls to get each other a present and then its time to kick back and relax… At least until Boxing day when I’m working again.

Window Dresser Through Window
I seem to be taking lots of images through windows at the moment…

A Couple of Half Frame Sequences
Another couple of sequence shots from the loaner Canon Demi Half Frame Camera.
They are both off the first roll I put through it where I stuffed up which way to shoot and had to turn the images in Photoshop…Hence the weird light leaks don’t match up…
I think the person in the first one makes the shot… but that’s just me 🙂

Fatherhood Friday 29: 8 Sleeps til Christmas
Wow! Where did the year go?
Emily is getting very excited and pretty much every night before bed saying “I hope Santa comes tonight”.
The christmas tree has been up for a number of weeks and Samantha has only nearly pulled it over once so far and has been remarkably good about not opening the presents that have started to appear under it from various well organised relatives 🙂
The bike track is still under construction but they have the small people track finished, Emily is getting super fast going around a I can hardly keep up with her on my bike… Looks like there is going to be another daredevil in the family….

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

It Must Have Been Cold
It must have been a cold night in the Alley…. Not sure how the heating would have helped but you never know…
