By now all you ruby nuts knew, talk about, boast about how the Wallabies won their thrilling Rugby World Cup
quarter final against South Africa in
Wellington.
Me? Whatever! Do I care? No!
After a week of rain and groom, the sun finally shone on Wellington as if to welcome the thousands of visitors from all over the world! So I was in town this afternoon too, to take in the quarter final atmosphere :)
It only took me 10 minutes to drive from my house (in Karori) to the CBD, then in another 5 minutes I have park my VRX in
Courtenay Central!
Did I tell you I love Wellington?
I had with me my 3 year old Nikon D300 with the 25 year old 80-200 f4 manual zoom, the Canon G12 came along as backup.

This is what I saw when I came out of Courtenay Central, the whole
Courtenay Place has been blocked off from traffic since Friday night.
|
 |
| Looking to my right, outside Coutenay Central; towards the CBD. It is
not often you can get a shot (G12) of Courtney Place like this! |
 |
| Further down from Courtenay Place, the ever busy Taranaki Street look strangely deserted! |
 |
| Who are they supporting? Kentucky Fried Chicken? |
 |
| Are these South Africa supporters? You can see how clueless I am about rugby! |
 |
| Believe me, that bum is not real! Ha ha ha... |
 |
| Notice the "quality" natural light here, it is strong but not overly
harsh to wash out the details. Picture like this reconfirm how good
this 25 year old zoom is! |
 |
| This is a 200% crop from the same photo above. What a lens! If you can
get it in focus, that is; the D300's focusing screen don't make it
easier!! |
 |
| No prize for telling who he is supporting! |
 |
| Even little baby are not spared from this rugby craze! | |
|
It has been a nice afternoon stroll in town, I even drop into
Little Penang; they open for business just for this special Sunday. Good on you guys!
