A Couple Of Sleepers
A couple of sleepers… The first one is in Civic Square and the second one is trying the time-honored profession of sleep begging on Dixon Street

This Would Have Been A Good Valintines Day Image
Such is the way with film…Sometimes you just have to wait…
Hope everyone had a good one 🙂
Still haven’t heard back to see if Rollei is fixable yet…Starting to get a bit nervous…

Technical Difficulties
I am currently waiting for my Rollei to be assessed by a camera repair person (Phil Jacobs in Petone) due to the fact that the shutter has been lagging a bit which I have mentioned in previous posts. Hopefully it just needs a bit of a clean…Fingers crossed.
It feels a bit weird walking around without it and I keep seeing shots that I am missing… Luckily I have just processed 5 films so I have a few images yet to put up 🙂
Anyway here goes an image of Boba Fett doing a live cross from the rugby 7s catwalk…

Bollywood Filming in Wellington
Caught these guys a couple of weeks ago filming a scene for a movie… This scene involved a bus fallen into a bomb crater… Guess it was mostly CG

Shooting Stance…Who’s Best?
A couple of shooters at the Gardens concert…
Who has the best style?
Exhibit A…Looks like a 70-200 f2.8 of some description…Nicely braced for the low light
Exhibit B… Some kind of compact zoom with a viewfinder?
Who has the best style?

Rugby Sevens After Party
The Rugby Sevens wrapped up last night(apparently New Zealand won)Â 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
