Fort Buckley At Night
Last night Fergus (Cunningvision) and I revisited Fort Buckley for a bit of night shooting. Aside from camera malfunctions (D70 is definitely on its last legs losing about 10 shots and having to have the battery removed a couple of times to make it work again) it was a pretty good shoot. Although none of the images are spectacular, they definitely have promise and with a bit more planning could be pretty cool.

Abandoned School
Last weekend Fergus AKA Cunningvision took me to an abandoned school out by where he lives. Lets just say I wasn’t expecting the school to be quite as large and run down as it was… In short it was way cooler than I was expecting 🙂
Apparently it used to be part of Hutt Valley High School but hasn’t been used in quite a while… Must go back again…

Sleeper Manners Mall
More sleeper action… This time on Manners Mall.

African Drummers
Walking through Civic Square at the moment there pretty much always seems to be something on… I guess the rugby world cup tourists need something to keep them entertained between rugby matches.

Dog At The Window
Some things just make you smile… Samantha spotted this one so I just had to take the shot 🙂

Rollei/Ringflash Test 2
This is the second attempt with a ring flash on the Rollei.
I’m still trying to make this work to apply to street portraiture but even at f22 @1/500th of a second the background is still pretty bright.
In the second shot the flash didn’t fire so you get an idea of the difference….
Today’s test subject is Heather (her blog HERE)

Tall People
This is from a couple of weeks back when the South African rugby team received a Powhiri (po-for-re)Â or traditional Maori welcome to the city.

Rugby Ticket Information People
Bumped into these guys on the same day as I locked the keys in my car. They were giving away fliers about the Rugby World Cup and small bags of Jellybeans.
Hamish distracted them and I took their photo. This diversionary tactic seemed to work quite well and I used it again later in the day 🙂
Not sure what was going on in the second image though.

Whats Wrong With This Image?
Another shot from the Petone Fair. This time of another photographer.
So what is wrong with this picture? Anyone who knows me know I hate cheap tripods (See previous rant here) and this guy sporting two camera bodies and seems to have forgotten to spend some money on his :). Its probably lucky that it was an absolutely still clear night for those firework shots latter on 🙂
I’m not judging… Just saying

Book Reading On Cuba Street
Before the Rugby World Cup Wellington was a much more peaceful place where people knew how to interact with each other in interesting ways that made for good photography. Now with lots more people around you would think this would happen even more, but no… Lots more people and not a shot to be found, well maybe a few :).
