Occupy Wellington
Some shots from the Occupy Wellington Protest… These were pretty early on and seem to have gotten much bigger as the week has gone on…

Feet And Hands
Saw this girl wedging herself into this gap to pose for a photo by her friend and couldn’t help but get one too 🙂

First Roll Through the RZ67
Went out yesterday to put a roll of film through my new (second hand) Mamiya RZ67 and 180mm f4.5.
Now don’t get me wrong I’m not really going to use this as a street shooting camera but I was testing to see how it would handle and to make sure it was all good 🙂
The 180mm lens kind of threw me after shooting pretty much nothing but an 80mm for the last year or so not to mention the rectangular aspect ratio.
I still have to get used to it but its a freaking sweet camera… I cant get over how bright the matte screen is compared to the 50 year old one thats in my Rollei (apparently you can put the RZ one into the Rollei with a but of tweaking)
Next its time to try some studio stuff and maybe some colour film…
The shot of the guy reading is a good example of how sharp this lens is… Its not a particularly good shot but if you look at second shot you can pretty easily see that he is reading Neil Gaiman’s Neverwhere (which is one of my favorite books… I have signed first edition 🙂 )

Motorway Half Frame Pano
I haven’t done one of these for a while…
This one was taken from Fort Buckley on the night before we did the painting with light.

Sleeper And Sunblock
I have to say that this is the most prepared sleeper that I have found so far. He was pretty much covered in sunblock which almost made him look like a sun loving zombie 🙂

Burnt Out Building
About a month ago there was a large inner city fire which Cunningvision caught a few shot of (you can see them here). I went up the next day to see what I could see. The house was up a million steps and I had Sam on my back, by the time I got to the top of the hill I was seeing stars 🙂
What was worse was that there wasn’t any good vantage points but I did manage to get one of the neighbors and security guard.
The house was abandoned and empty at the time it went up.

Getting High
A couple of weeks ago while the girls were at judo I bumped into the All Blacks (Rugby Team) Roadshow which was traveling round New Zealand for the Rugby World Cup.
These shots were all taken as the All Blacks were arriving and people were trying to get a better view…

In The Navy
Last weekend the New Zealand Navy was in Wellington port to present their colours to the parliament for their 70th anniversary (yes our Navy is only 70 years old). All the ships except one on active duty were there and although there is only seven in the fleet it still made for a rather impressive display.
The ships were all open to the public but I didnt get a chance to go and have a look.
This image was taken just after they had docked…
