Another Week Done
So in my last post I mentioned how good the weather had been with all the rain. Sadly that didn’t last and the sun is back as you can see. It’s been a fairly busy week for me since I was trying to finish my article on why I love 35mm and 85mm. If you want to give that a read, head on over to The Photography Enthusiast. Below are…
Recent Weeks
The weather here in Sydney has been a bit temperamental the past few weeks. We’ve had everything from rain to fog to sunshine. Below are a few photos from just over a week ago when we had some heavy fog on a Saturday morning. The image above was a several minute long exposure for the sky and a short 30 second exposure for the buildings and foreground. The last time…
Another Year, Another Vivid Festival
Here are some photos from the Vivid festival here in Sydney. Nothing really changed much this year so I didn’t take many photos. The few photos I did take were mostly candid street shots. All shots were taken handheld and I had to bump the ISO up quite. This is probably the first time I’ve used the A7III as high as ISO 12,800 and I have mixed feelings. As I…
Just Go Shoot
There’s a few things I want to cover in this post. First off, yes this is another self portrait. Any time I get sick of my display picture on social media, this is my answer to that problem. Rather than use a mirror like people typically use, I had the A7III and the Sigma 35mm f/1.4 Art on a tripod. I always do the same pose for all my self…
Here and There
Below are a bunch of casual images I took recently but don’t really need the own post. All except the lantern were taken last weekend. The lantern was actually inside the Westfield in San Francisco. I have a few more posts planned and some new projects too that I’m excited to work on. Once they are ready I’ll be sure to announce them here 😀
Devon Cafe Brunch
We took advantage of the quiet public holiday to try Devon Cafe in Barangaroo. On a weekday it is usually packed but being a public holiday, it was much quieter. Here are some photos of our food and dessert.
Fuji Instax
This is the Fuji Instax Mini 9. My girlfriend loves Polaroid cameras so I got this for her birthday. We previous owner a Polaroid branded one but if was a bit old now so a new one was needed. This Fuji model seems to be a bit better when it comes to metering and exposing the image. The photos have turned out quite nice and we’ve been carrying it with…
Celebrations
There was a few celebrations recently.  Both my girlfriend I have our birthdays in April, just 8 days apart. This cake in particular was for my birthday and it was my favorite flavor, Black Forrest 😀
Paddy’s Market
Here are some candid street shots from Paddy’s Market here in Sydney. My girlfriend likes to come here on a weekly basis to buy all her fruits and this was one of the rare times I had my camera with me. It’s such a busy environment so it’s easy to capture candid moments. I have to say the 35mm Art really worked well in the scenario. AF was spot on…
The Beginning of Something Special
As I previously mentioned, I recently got the Sigma 35mm f/1.4 Art. I was excited to give it a try so I went out on the weekend to do some portraits. Here are some of the images I took with my beautiful new lens :p
