Bike Jump Competition Practice
Couple off shots of one of the guys practicing on the jumps across the road from where I live.
These were both shot at 1/500th which leads me to believe that Rollei is due for a bit of shutter maintenance.
The competition was a couple of weekends ago now and unfortunatley I had to work and then it rained before I finished so didn’t manage to get any more shots…
Developing a whole heap of stuff from the Rugby Sevens today so should have more from that tomorrow….

Rugby Sevens After Party
The Rugby Sevens wrapped up last night(apparently New Zealand won) with a street party on Courtneay Place.
The party was supposed to start around 7 so I got there around 730 while it was still light because I wanted to try out Rollei with my Nikon SB80DX Speedlite and once the light drops its pretty much impossible to focus (photos still need to be developed). Lets just say it was pretty dead until 10 when people started surging in from the stadium at the other end of town.
Things started to get good around 11 and I ended up bailing round 12…
Somewhere in the midst of it all one of my developed films went missing from the side pocket of my bag which is pretty gutting especially since I don’t know if it was stolen or if I was just a dumbass and let the pocket open… It was a roll of black and white Ilford Delta 3200 which is a pretty rare film to use and only one place in Wellington develops it so I will give them a call on Monday and see if it turns up… Fingers Crossed.
Anyway here goes a quick selection of shots from D70s… Enjoy

A Bit of Slow Flash Sync
The rugby Sevens are on in Wellington at the moment. Its one of those great times where people dress up get drunk and want there photo taken.
Up outside the stadium we were getting dark stares because we weren’t taking people’s photos and lots of “thank you” when we did… It was a bit weird

Ferry Services
A list of services provided on the Somes Island Ferry 🙂
I wonder how long that took to do with no one watching.

A Bit of Surface Flooding
Driving home from work last Sunday I drove past a drain that consistently floods and in the torrential rain decided to pull over (risking the wrath of being home late) and take some images out the window of cars going past through the large puddle.
Unfortunately there wasn’t a lot of traffic around at that time and after about 10 minutes and only two cars I gave up and went home 🙂

That Refreshing Flavour Pt 2
This is part two of yesterdays post…
This was on the next day and I managed to not only get an image but snagged a drink as well 🙂
Free stuff is good even when it is not.

That Refreshing Flavour…
A large drinks producer was giving out samples at the bottom of Cuba Street… Missed out on the free sample but got a shot of it being drunk instead.

Asleep on Cuba Street
Nothing like a wide brim hat on a hot day for you to be able to go to sleep under…

Flowers in The Alley
A lovely bunch of dying flowers left in the Alley amidst the discarded spray cans and empty bottles…
