On the evening of 28/10/2010, Abby, Aimee, Keriann and I met in the town (Or officially known as a City) of Rotorua, for some evening street photography! Since it doesn't get dark in Rotorua until past 8.00 O'clock, we started off with some 'Afternoon Street Photography'!

Every Thursday, there is a night market in Rotorua, it starts at 5 o'clock, and finishes at around 9 o'clock. This night market was our first photograph destination! There were heaps of cool stalls with heaps of cool stuff in them!

 



  

Some scrummy food from one of the cool stalls!
Th people in this stall gave me
a free sample for taking this picture!

During our stay at the markets, there was a great big Zombie Walk, raising money for brain damaged people. It came right through the markets! People were dressed in their zombie suits, with blood (Jam, or Fake blood) and fake severed limbs! They looked cool... AND SCARY!

The zombies walked around, feeding on brains and McDonalds (Weird diet for a zombie huh?).

These zombies made their way to the City Focus, a big city center area where loads of stuff goes down, for a big performance! THE THRILLER DANCE!!! It was amazing!

I didn't manage to get many awesome shots of this dance, but I got a couple...



Dancer in action!



This was the lead dancer (MJ)
I think he was my man crush for the evening...

Zombies took up most of the day light shooting for me...

After the dance, they did a zombie sprint!

I did get good shots of this!



The start...



The middle... I didn't get an end... =P


When night fell, the team and I headed back to the markets! We met the market organizer and she told us that if we took photos of all the stands, and send them to her, she would put them on the website and facebook! Cher!!!

These are just a few that I took of the stalls...

I also made some new contacts for my photographic career! But above all, I, along with the 3 gals, had HEAPS of fun! It was really an awesome evening! I can't wait to do it again!

On the 18th of October, 2010, I entered my last photo into the Photo5 Competition! I am pretty confident in my photos, but it is up to the judges whether I get into one of the final 5 photos for each brief. Then it is up to the public whether one of my photos wins, and joins the other legendary photos that have won. This competition has been so much fun! I feel I have learnt a lot, and have found an even greater love for photography! I can't wait to enter it next year! Thank you Canon!

Here are my entries!
