Statue Stare Down

Its always a bit disquieting being stared down by a statue…

Standing In Front Of A Bus

I walked past this the other day… Im not sure why they are all standing in front of the bus. I thought that maybe someone had been hit, but there was no one on the ground… But no

Spook The Horses

A couple of weeks ago Alex and I did a photo shoot for Wellington band Spook The Horses for a publicity shot for their upcoming album Brighter.

This was the first time for me shooting on a roof and the logistical quagmire of setting up lights and getting angles. Luckily we had a couple of extras to hold lights since light stands weren’t an option an apart from my equipment showing its age and a few workarounds with duct tape things went pretty smoothly (shots of setting up to come).

It was a great group of guys to shoot and I really enjoyed the shooting them 🙂

The shot was used at http://www.undertheradar.co.nz/utr/interviewMore/CID/407/N/Spook-The-Horses.utr

Information Kiosks

I was wondering what they were going to do with these information stands that are left over from the Rugby World Cup… Apparently they will be used for tables for bottles 🙂

Fort Balance Revisited

This was straight after we had come down from Kau point… Fergus and I were already pretty tired from climbing up cliffs and down into underground passages but decided to go to Fort Balance which was just round the next point. We have been there before but not for a couple of years. We drove round to where the gully was and parked the car and then proceeded to follow the track up the hill… Unfortunately it was the wrong track and we ended up climbing through bracken for 45 minutes before coming out way too high up and being blocked going down by a large and vertical cliff. Luckily the was an unmarked radar station of some sort which had a road up to it that we could go down to the fort.

When we got there there was a couple of people taking photos there already and I think we gave them a bit of a fright since technically it is still military land and it probably didn’t help that I was wearing khaki cargo pants that were a bit military looking 🙂

Anyway as it turned out the light was pretty much at its best just as we got there even if we were a bit worn out…

Fergus finally got himself a TLR… Still haven’t seen the shots out of it but here is hoping that it is good 🙂

Another Mo

I know Movember has finished but when you are shooting on film sometimes it takes a bit to develop/scan them 🙂
