Lens-Artists Challenge #340 – Portraits
I’m not going to lie, when I saw what Ritva had set for us for this week’s challenge, I was bummed. I hate photographing people. I think I always have. It is something about the […]

Monochrome Madness – Creatures in monochrome
On the weekend my friend Suzzanna and I took a trip to Kyabram which is a little over two hours away from Melbourne. The reason for the trip is because Melbourne Zoos has just taken […]
Which one – The Fujifilm 150-600mm or the Tamron 150-500mm

Review – Tamron 100-400mm lens
Taking photos with a telephoto lens usually means compromises. They are often too heavy to just hand hold and you have to use a monopod or tripod. They can come with a very expensive price […]
