Collaboration

Collaboration with Dining With Gunz

Amusing because both of us were thinking of doing this but neither of us wanted to ask the other.

Hopefully there will be more collaboratons in the future.


Death of a Tree

Sequence of a pine tree being felled.

Amusing things to note: Shot on Ilford Pan F+ 50 ISO film so had to shoot at f2.8 so not to get motion blur and had 9 month old Samantha in the backpack trying desparatley to grab the camera strap.

More tree related shots coming.


Fatherhood Friday 2

Just finished developing these last night (yay black and white film)

All I can say is “when the heck did you grow up so much?!

This picture really sums up Samantha in my opinion “its all about me!”  It is possible at 9 months that she has a diabolical plan to rule the world.

This is a picture of Emily posing, not quite sure what she’s being… I only put it in because one of this weeks big things was watching them cut down the trees that she is standing in front of…Those pics with action sequences of trees being felled coming soon 🙂


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.


Red Splat

Red Splat

Originally shot for the Canon Eos Photo5 Competition

Nikon D70s ISO 200 f8 1/640 sec (which is kinda odd cause the D70s is only supposed to sync up to 1/500 sec)

Red Splat 2

This one didnt make the cut for the comp but was kinda cool

Nikon D70s ISO 200 f8 1/640 sec

A small setup montage.

I really like how crap the setup is (random piece of perspex with holes drilled into it balanced on an upsidedown chair on the family table) but how good the end result looks… I feel its a good example of what you can do without spending a whole heap of money on fancy equipment.


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?

Found Victoria Street, Wellington


Lomography and a short Rant

Taken on a Lubitel 2 (borrowed) 5 minute exposure on Velvia film

One of the things I find increasingly funny in the photography world today is the large proliferation of people who have expensive DSLR’s who spend large amounts of time in Photoshop making their images look like it was shot on a cheap Lomo type of film camera with a plastic lens. You know who you are!

BUY A LOMO AND SHOOT SOME FILM!
