Capture: Two Tripods, One Night, in reply to Jonathan Ganley,
I had a roll of Kodak Tri-X in there at the time.
Used to be my fave, you could push that bugger so far you could take pictures of black cats in dark rooms that weren't even there.

The bogus lowball number had already become a de facto truth because it appeared repeatedly in the Herald.
A bit like the $90,000 a year Wharfies eh?
And I am really worried about the authoritarian streak I see in the current NZ government...
And that, coming from someone that lives in China, should be a wake up call to all those that thought voting for rich people would make them better off.
I keep hearing that the industrial actions we are currently experiencing are the first for more than a decade, funny that, who was running the country back then?
Does nobody remember the "Employment Contracts Act"?
Same shit, same cunts.ETA. I just dropped an email on Linda Herrick, the link in the blog don't work, just heads you to the Herald but it's not hard to cut and paste eh.
We need to start getting angry about 7. -
While we're on the subject. Here's something I found from a local, goes by the name, The Pitbull Press.
Can't embed so here's a Link to Vimeo Auckland Timelapse 2011 -
All this talk of dollys and cranes and night shots reminds me of This Guy Tom Lowe.
Saw some of his early stuff a few years back and still watch it in awe now. Can't find a copy on line of the stuff I have but here is a trailer for his upcoming feature.
Really worth looking for a hi res copy though.
Here's one on Vimeo which I can't embed. -

Oh I don’t think it’s your fault my PC won’t connect ;-)
Have you tried a connection over ethernet direct to the router?

Hard News: Notes in My Pocket, in reply to Sacha,
winning
I found this in my pocket when I got home last night.
There's something weird about winning something with winner stamped onto it -
I used a Tripod for this shot.

And here's the Skypodermic, pokin' out'a city of light.
Shades of Jim Morrison.
Out on the perimeter, we are all stoned.
:-p
Canon 1100D f3.5, iso 6400, 1/25s sittin on a low wall. -
So, ignoring all advice...
Canon EOS 100D f8, iso 6400, 1/40s and waited for someone else's flash to go off...
(I could have said I used a remote flash but I don't have one)
(oh, and I didn't wait, it was luck)

Speaker: Who are the news media?, in reply to HamishFraser,
Classic current example is the current headlines “$220,000 a month living expenses” re the Dotcom story.
Slightly off topic but those numbers are rubbish, they are apparently the total amount requested including one-offs to cover back payments to staff and other expenses. The ongoing amount is much less.
William Akel, representing Dotcom and his business associate Bram van der Kolk, argued that a monthly payment of $28,000 for living expenses, $29,000 for staff and “one-off” payments were requested.
There is a valid on topic part to this though. What responsibility does a news outlet have to not colour the public’s thinking in matters like this, in this case they are making out that Mr Dotcom is as bad as a finance company boss who stole from “Mums and dads”.
