Sleeper?
This one is possibly a cheat as I’m not really sure if this guy was asleep or just lying in the sun…

Googlie Eyed Squid
The eyes were a nice addition… I wonder if they were added by the artist or someone else?

Going Slightly Crazy And A Picture Of A Dragon
The start of week two without shooting due to a combination of a back and rib injuries from a miss-spent youth. The weather hasn’t been especially friendly either and the few times I have tried to venture out with either half frame or D70s (yes I have dusted it off, literally) it has either been raining or has started to rain when I was in transit to where ever I was going.
Carrying a digital again has been due to a Fujifilm competition which wont let me enter scanned images…Um don’t they make film too? The first prize is an Fuji X100, which I have to say would be a quite nice camera to carry around to compliment Rollei. It is quite hard to be inspired when it is raining and not shooting 6×6 (everything seems to look better square) but we will see how it goes. It is supposed to be a nice day tomorrow so I might take Sam out in the push chair and have a look round and see what is up.
I think Sam is going slightly crazy too with not being able to get outside much… She is currently under my desk untying my shoe laces (hopefully she’s not tying them together) and talking a mile a minute.
Anyway here goes a shot from earlier in the year at the dragon boat festival…

Sand Relocation
A truck coming back from dropping off a load of sand along Oriental Parade. The trip before this one he really booted it through the water sending spray everywhere but toned it down this trip possibly since I was standing there with a camera and Sam was too impatient for me to stick around for another pass.

Giant Bubbles
It was finally a nice day on Thursday so me and Sam went for a wander along the waterfront shooting after not being out for a couple of weeks. As we were walking past the rowing club we both noticed some rather large bubbles out across the inlet. Upon further investigation we came across the bubble maker who was testing out his bubble mixture. This is one of the few times I wished I was shooting colour…
I don’t think I have ever seen bubbles bouncing off the surface of the water before and Sam was more than happy to stay and watch where as she usually gets bored easily in the backpack if we stop for too long.

Half Frame Night Pano
A 4 shot pano from a couple of weeks ago when I went out with some friends to shoot stuff at night.
I like the simplicity of creating panos this way without all the high tech stitching programs…

Solace In The Wind
I really like this statue on Wellingtons waterfront but I can never get it looking the way I want it to… This one was close…

Lunch
A couple of groups of people having lunch last Saturday.

Diver
Prepping for a dive… Not sure if this was a training dive or something to do with checking the piles under the pier which is soon to be redeveloped…

Pajamas On The Waterfront
I came across these girls (and guy obscured on the airbed) a couple of Mondays ago. They were filming something but it was after the 48 Hour movie competition had finished so I’m not really sure what they were filming for. I love the expression from the girl on the left, she was probably wondering why some guy with a small person on his back was taking her photo 🙂

Titahi Bay
Last Sunday I went on a shoot with a friend to Titahi bay. We predominately went to take landscapes but old habits die hard and I ended up taking more images of people than of landscapes. We probably looked a bit odd since I was shooting with Rollei and he was shooting with a Mamiya RZ67.
Its a great area to shoot and gets the last of the sun so the light is awesome in the late afternoon. We also found a couple of places I hadn’t been before. I think I need to go back and try and take more people shots of the people in the boat sheds…
