Photographing my birthday flowers
Yeah, it was my birthday last week and since both my daughters were unable to be with me my youngest organised to have some flowers sent to me. She said it was so I could […]
A past trip to Port Campbell
Today I thought we could look back on a trip I did back in 2019. I went to most of the same places that I went to on this last trip last month, but wow […]
Loch Ard Gorge and Port Campbell
Another quick post today. I’ve been trying to get some stuff done in the garden and use some of the produce. Who knew a zucchini plant would produce so many zucchinis?
Instagram Photos
I used to do this a lot, but haven’t for a while and I have decided it is time to do it again. While these aren’t the photos from this week, they are all ones […]
A couple more
This is a quick post and I thought I would share another couple of photos from my trip to the 12 Apostles. I need to get processing on them, so, as I’ve said before, I […]
Starting a new year
Another year is ending and who knows what the year ahead will bring. It has certainly been a very strange couple of years.
What Santa left me
I hinted a couple of weeks ago, but now I can definitely say, I got a Lensbaby Composer Pro II for my Fujifilm cameras for Christmas. I also got the Sweet 35 optic to go […]
Merry Christmas everyone
It is that time of the year again. I wish I could say I was prepared, but now that it is Christmas morning I realise I wasn’t. I mean I had all the shopping for […]
Going away for two days after 2 years at home
The recent trip to Port Campbell was meant as a way to get out again, but also to experiment with new gear. I did do that with the Tamron lens, and I got to really […]
First look at some photos taken with the Tamron along the coast
I’m back from my trip to the Great Ocean Road, well really just around Port Campbell. I’m so glad we went when we did, especially as this new variant omicron, it was good to do […]
Heading away with new gear
Recently I was loaned the Tamron 18mm to 300mm lens for the Fujifilm camera. I was so excited because it is the first lens that Tamron has done for the mirrorless Fujifilm cameras.
Burning – Documentary on the worst bushfire season in Australia
Before Covid happened Australia experienced the worst season of bushfires, or wildfires, ever. It wasn’t a surprise to some, but the enormity of it all was a massive surprise and wake call to everyone.
Looking at old gear
The Fujifilm macro lens is going back this week and I have to get back to using my old gear for macro photography. One of the things that has been hanging around for a few […]
Trying to make Christmas more environmentally friendly
When it comes down to it, I’m not sure how possible this is, but I know there are some things we can do to help.
Trying the Fujifilm macro lens
I have been loaned the Fujifilm XF80mmF2.8 R LM OIS WR Macro lens again, but this time I am trying to decide if I really want it.
The dahlias are planted
It is that time of the year. I’ve been out in the garden a lot in the last few weeks, and there will be more posts on that to come. However, while I was weeding […]
Getting the garden ready
As I said the other day I’ve been spending a lot of time in the garden. I really want the garden to work. There is nothing like being able to walk outside and pick what […]
Right now it is all about the garden
Spring has sprung and it is full speed ahead for the garden getting it ready for summer.
We had an earthquake
Can you believe that? I mean we can hardly believe it and there were several million people thinking the same way. Australia doesn’t get earthquakes.
Trying more food photography
Do you know what one of the biggest problems with doing food photography?
