‘More clouds than crowds’.
Excellent shots eveyone.
Hmm, where should I put my Silo Park 1st year celebrations shots? Not enough for a new post, and we do seem to have ‘covered the waterfront’ rather well on here.
This’ll have do for now. ;-)

Capture: Two Tales of a City, in reply to Ian Dalziel,
no pyroclastic-like clouds of dust smothering the city, meh!
I saw a few people running from the cloud in the TV One coverage all the same. I was wondering if they were familiar with the term 'down wind'. Looking forward to some HD footage on the news. Hopefully someone got lots of angles.

some rainy Saturday photos from today
Some great shots in there Jos. You're getting good at these little photo-movies. Must give it a try.

Reflections of Kingsland through the window in Kingsland.
I should add (for advertising purposes ;)Is that next to Atomic? I drove past during the day. Amazing stuff. Will have to return.

Sounds like a fun night. There seem to be a lot of photos floating around of the event too.
Here's one collection of photos on Flickr, including the winners with their books.

Capture: Cinema Scoped, in reply to Hebe,
Hey what about a thread gathering the most memorable scenes people remember from a movie at a particular theatre?
No reason why we can't do that here.
Mine would be coming from Whakatane to Auckland and seeing Battlestar Galactica in Sensurround at The Civic. About 1978 I think. The scale of the cinema itself was daunting, as I recall this was before the two parts were joined, and the seats shaking as the ships came into view was pretty exciting for a 10 year old. Just reading about it now, I didn't realise this was a TV pilot re-edited for the cinema. Bit of a story behind it, apparently. Cashng in on the Star Wars hooplah.

My father never forgot seeing Tora Tora Tora with the kamikaze fighters coming straight for him – he loved the place..
One of my Super 8 collection. The abridged version, of course. ;-)

Thanks for this Geoff.
My first cinema experience was in the Opotiki Deluxe Theatre, so this has a special resonance for me. I think it might have been Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, but as it was when I was about 6, I honestly can't quite recall.
The other cinema of significance was the Whakatane theatre, now called 'Flicks'. King Kong and The Fog both come to mind, at an age when lack of exposure to any larger than life depiction of monsters or thriller plots had me chewing a hole in the knee of my trousers, and having nightmares of a giant Kong climbing in the window.
Good times.

Capture: The Night Time Is The Right Time, in reply to Hebe,
I, having been the grown up when I really wanted to throw up, am recovering.
Probably shouldn't tell these stories, but that reminds me of a certain time when I was having the latest round of stitches checked and the doctor said;
"Hop off the bed would you. It seems someone needs it more than you do."

“Sky Tower, it’s always in the shot” … as someone said at North Wharf last night.
I moved the tripod to get it out of this shot. Another angle on the wind sculpture, covered here in an earlier post.
