The Shire Of Darton
Heading into town last Sunday I noticed some heavily armoured people with swords at the park across the road from where I live… I quickly pulled into the car park and went over and asked if it was OK to take some shots… They kindly obliged and went through a couple of their practice routines 🙂
They are part of The Shire of Darton which is the Wellington, New Zealand branch of the Society for Creative Anachronism (SCA), a world-wide society that recreates the better parts of life in pre-17th Century Europe.

Road Cones
I drove past this on my way into town for my usual Saturday shooting session, had to pull over and go back. Unfortunately it was hard to get an angle and I ended up nearly getting run over several times trying to get a shot…

Bowlarama Wellington 2012
I ended up going to the Wellington Bowlarama competition in the weekend and was seriously blown away by the level of skating. A friend of mine challenged me to get a shot of someone getting air out of the bowl using Rollei (Bowlarama-10 is definitely my favourite) so I went and stood up against the fence and watched for most of the day.
Since Rollei doesn’t have any kind of motor-wind you pretty much only get one shot so it was a case of pre focusing on one spot and then waiting for something to happen in that spot. After a while it got a bit easier to predict where certain skaters did their tricks, helped quite a bit by watching where the pro photographers went and apart from people standing directly in front of me from time to time it was cool.
The nice thing was that in between heats one of the pro photographers came over and had a chat about his Rollei that he had just had serviced and was saying about how good it was for street photography 🙂

Trials Styles
Yesterday I went to the Bowlarama skate competition (big post coming tomorrow if I get all the images processed) and about half way through I remembered that I had parked my car on a 2 hour park and that was something like 3 hours ago. Luckily no ticket when I got back to it and snapped this guy doing trials stuff on his bike on the way back…
I ended up shooting all the film I had with me at the comp long before it ended 🙂

Rugby Sevens
One of the shots I took during the Rugby Sevens competition over the weekend… If you aren’t familiar with Rugby Sevens its a seven aside short rugby tournament which is run over a couple of days… The fans all dress up and it is pretty much one big party…

Of Times Forgot
I love finding stuff like this where nature is slowly reclaiming what humans have placed in the landscape… This is only a couple of minutes from the centre of Wellington…
