Boomrock

Tuesday, July 6, 2010

Located on 8km of stunning coastline North West of Wellington is Boomrock.  We headed out there on a fairly non descript, dull Wellington day to help test some equipment for the Fleetsafe NZ programme.  Fleetsafe NZ has been developed to create vehicle awareness and driver training. In conjunction with Mercedes-Benz and assistance from the late Peter Brock, Boomrock has a purpose built car testing circuit where one can experience hot laps with professional drivers to hands on driver training.  Because we were there to help test some in car equipment no hot laps were experienced but we were lucky enough to be driving around in a brand new Mercedes-Benz C class car for a couple of hours.  You can read all about Boomrock here at www.boomrock.co.nz

I had also just purchased a new Canon 70-200mm f2.8L IS II USM lens and these were some of the first test shots with this lens.

Emma & Nic got married

Saturday, June 26, 2010

After a successful engagement shoot with Nic and Emma I was asked to assist Annie la Rue as a second shooter for the wedding day.  It was an epic session with more than 6 photography sessions spread across the next couple of days.  I started the day at Nic’s place with the Groom and his groomsmen (and some beers) before Nic & I proceeded over to Emma’s hotel for the ‘First Glimpse’ shoot at Club Street.  After the stunning bride revealed herself (and dress) to her husband-to-be we all headed over to the wedding venue in Rochester Park for some wedding group shots followed by the ceremony. Due to the heat in Singapore and the busy wedding day we had a follow-up shoot a couple of days later in Portsdown Road. This shoot was a great idea as Nic and Emma were relaxed and we had some fun using different lenses which resulted in a great variety of photographs for the happy couple to look back on over the coming years. Below are a selection of shots that I took over the numerous sessions.

Little Lily Scott

Monday, June 14, 2010

Meet little Lily Scott, Lucy Boo’s best friend. Lily is an extreme monkey bar expert! After a morning of negotiating an obstacle course, including monkey bars and trampolines, at ‘Tumbling Tots’ any little girl deserves a hot chocolate with extra marshmallows to wind down. As you can see below, Lily not only enjoys a hot chocolate but she just loves hanging out with her friend Lucy, what a pair!

Being back in New Zealand for a holiday gave me an opportunity to spend some time with my gorgeous niece and obviously take some photos of her.  She is the cutest wee thing and sharp as a fox – although she’ll prefer to tell you that today she is a Giraffe or a Zebra, depending on how she feels.  Nothing gets past her and you can see the intense concentration as she processes her carefully thought out reply, which more often than not simply amazes everyone.  I found myself wondering how someone so young knows so much…….scary.  She is a precious little human being and we all love her very much!

Tanya Black - Hey Craig
Fantastic photos! I love the ones of the little blondinis.
Great action shots of the mountain bike race, also loved the ones from the ironman – everyone swimming with the ships in the background – brilliant!
Keep up the excellent work, look forward to seeing more.

Gardens By The Bay – Off-Site Part 1

Sunday, May 30, 2010

Forming part of the new Gardens By The Bay development in Singapore are two large conservatories designed by UK Architects, Wilkinson Eyre Architects.  The two conservatories have their own roles to play in this 54 hectare garden at Marina South.  The cool-dry conservatory will explore issues related to plants and people, whilst the cool-moist conservatory will focus on plants and the planet.

I have been documenting the construction of the conservatories on a monthly basis.  Due to a media ban on all images taken on site I can only only show images that I have taken from outside of the site.  Here are a few progress shots taken during April and May 2010 of the Cool Dry Conservatory during the earlier stages of construction.
