Floral Friday – The orange flowers in the backyard
I was out in the garden yesterday and around my greenhouse are these orange flowers. I believe they are called Calendulas and they are growing everywhere. I don’t pull them out because I don’t mind […]

Last weekend when I went out for my walk I took my new infrared camera with me. It was fun to walk around everywhere stopping here and there to take photos. I do live next […]

Can you guess? Yep, I got my Fujifilm X-T3 back from Imaging by Design and it is now fully converted to Infrared. It took a while, but I’m not too fussed about that, I have […]

Floral Friday – A Chrysanthemum kind of day
Did I tell you that I got more chrysanthemums? I wouldn’t say they are my favourite flower, but they are up there near the top. I love so many different flowers. I have to admit […]
Floral Friday – Before the rains came
We have been getting so much rain. Don’t get me wrong I’m happy we are getting it, but it has been hard on the flowers. I know the plants will be loving it, but the […]
When is it time to buy a new camera?
I’ve been asking myself this question a lot lately. My Nikon D800 is over 10 years old now. The Nikon D850 I’ve had for about 6 years. I was given the Fujifilm X-T3 in 2019 […]

Last Friday I did a post on using the Tamron 150-500mm F/5-6.7 Di III VC VXD lens. It is a big lens and great for taking wildlife photos. I’m sure there are lots of other things you […]
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?
Floral Friday – Outside with the Velvet 56
Now that I have the Fujifilm X-T3 I find I’m limited when it comes to macro, but I did get the Lensbaby Velvet 56 for it and the photos for Floral Friday were taken with […]
