Rollei Police Pan
Panning shots with most cameras can be difficult… When your camera is inverted left to right you pretty much have to wing it.
Still even though I missed most of the car the part I did get was pretty bang on… Might have to try it again.
They were racing up to Manners Street where yet another person had been hit by a bus after then whole road layout change thing from late last year… I have that image for another post.

Mushrooms
Mushrooms spring up in the most unusual places…

Monopod Man
Saw this guy scoping out places to shoot just before a lunchtime concert at Frank Kits Park. They were supposed to be recording a song for the Christchurch Earthquake with a big crowd participation but it didn’t look like too many people turned up and I got bored and wandered off to go shoot elsewhere… I walked back past as they were packing up so basically missed the main event so I wonder if they got a good turnout?

London Street Photography Festival Entry? And A Shot Of Me.
I have been thinking of entering this competition for a little while now and there is only a week and a half to go before entries close… Any images people liked or were memorable? Cant be a posed shot which is most of what I do anyway and can be a single image or a set of images…
Let me know
Cheers

Here’s a shot that Andrew aka Saturday Harrasser took of me when we were out shooting after the rugby 7’s earlier in the year. Shot with a Nikon D700 and processed using Silver Effects Pro to look like Ilford Delta 3200 ISO Film (which was what I was shooting that night). There’s not many shots of me I actually like but this is definitely one of them and I have to say that the film grain is pretty damn close to what Delta 3200 actually looks like… Good work Andrew we should got out shooting again some time…

Sleepers Seem To Occur In Sets Of Two
For some weird reason shots of sleeping people seem to happen in sets of two. These two images were taken within about 2 minutes of each other.

The Performance Arcade 2011
On another wander around the waterfront we (Samantha and I) came across this series of art installations. Samantha was very interested and kept wanting to go back and look some more. You can see her hanging out of the backpack in a window reflection in one of the shots with the photography studio.
I think my favorite images is the very last one…

Pigeon Swarm
Samantha in the backpack really didn’t like this… It was a point and shoot moment… well as point and shoot as you can get with a Rollei

A Spot Of Fishing
A bit more waterfront action from the weekend. He had to leave shortly after I took this shot due to the swimming leg of a triathlon going straight through where he was fishing.

Return Of The Rollei
Rollei has been away for the last 3 weeks having some repairs done as well as a bit of a general service… The Rollei withdrawal has been a bit harsh but the 35mm fix has been helping to stop the cold sweats and occasional bouts of shakes.
Anyway I got it back last week and have put about 3 rolls of film through it already and I’m feeling much better…
There is some sort of Karate tournament on at the moment so there are people doing stuff like this all over the city
