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.
Photo Montage Dunedin Railway Station
Made up of about 20 to 30 images with Nikon D70s and 80-200mm lens.
I couldnt easily get further back without having an incident with traffic so the shots were quite large when it came to putting them togeather in Photoshop.
I like the way all the verticals are all still vertical but all the horizontals are slightly skewed. It appears to be coming out to meet you in the middle of the image.
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
Seals at Redrocks
Being one of the few days of the year when shops are actually closed the boys from the shop went on a 4WD mission round Redrocks… We must have had at least 9 cameras between 4 people and the boot of the Landrover was almost filled with camera equipment.
All of the female seals have migrated for the winter so only the singe males are left and with no female around the seals are reasonably placid as long as you dont get too close or get between them and the water.
All images with Nikon D70s 80-200mm f2.8 lens
Seal just about to eat Fergus
Iz be cute
What you lookn at?
Yawn
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
Angel
Karori Cemetery, Wellington, New Zealand
Shot in the middle of the day with speedlite on full power. This is pretty much how the image looked on the camera.
Home of the Lost Soles
Taken with speedlight on full power in the middle of the day at Castle Point, New Zealand.
Went out as a day trip after looking at a map and thinking it would only take an hour and a half to get there from Wellington. 3 Hours later we arrive and only get to spend 30 minutes before we have to leave to get back to Wellington to pick up the family from work and creche.
Very cool place to take photos, must go back and camp sometime.
Sometimes it feels like my D70s has more dust than sensor.
More Mushroom Hunting
This time the mushroom hunting is literal.
Speedlight directly above the mushroom but quite close so there is alot of light fall off.
Shot on Nikon F5 with Velvia 50 film
The Fall of the Last Tree Standing
This is the fall of the last tree left standing on a lone hill next to a power pylon.
I shot this wide because the tree was on a massive lean towards said power pylon and the tree fellers truck (which he moved before the tree came down).
It ended up being a bit of an anticlimax due to the fact that they tied a steel cable to the digger and pulled it down before it was cut all the way through.
Original series was 17 images but have narrowed it down a bit. I also kooked the focus due to using slow film so have made it small and “Lomofied” it a bit. Yes I know im a hypicrite
