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.

Somes/ Matiu Island Lookout
As a family we went to Somes/ Matiu island in the Wellington harbour. The island has been used for many things from quarantine of both people and animals to internment for foreign nationals at time of war… It has a lighthouse which was built-in 1900 to replace the lighthouse built-in 1866 (images to come) and the remains of an anti-aircraft battery not to mention its a pest free zone so there are no rats or mice or other nasties so it is a safe haven for many of New Zealand’s endangered wildlife.

Scrap Yard Cars
These were all shot on Ilford Pan F+ 50 ISO Film, I really love the tonal range of this film… unfortunately after I had developed these and seen how good they were I went to work to stock up only to find that someone had bought all that was left in the fridge… How Rude! I have ordered more but unfortunately it comes from Australia and wont be here before the new year 😦 . I’m going to try pulling Ilford FP4 125 ISO film to 50 ISO and see what results that will give.

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.

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 🙂

Bus Casuality on Manners Street
As I was coming back from getting lunch I noticed a group of people clustered around someone on the footpath. As I got closer it turned out to be someone who had just stepped out onto the street without looking both ways (day 3 of the new road layout where buses go both ways on a previously one way street) and was hit by a bus.
Lets just say that this was a really hard image to take and I think this comes across in the image itself… it probably didn’t help that I was shooting 50 ISO film… but I think the camera shake adds some anonymity to the image.

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.
