This blog is going to be a mix of what I'm up to now, a look back at some of my past favourites, maybe some equipment and technical stuff and whatever else you would like to see...but primarily with a photographic theme.

Time for a catch up

Hi all…it’s been way too long.

For those of you with a memory good enough to recall the topic of my last post (Art in the Landscape) here is a bit of an update.

The artist responsible for the stunning cloak, Anzara Clark, is currently examining publishing options for a book combining my images and her prose. The sample layout looks great. I will keep you posted.

Hopefully, you have seen a few of my pics (Insta and Facebook) from my recent trip to Melbourne. Here are a couple more that didn’t fit the Insta format restrictions.

All the Melbourne images were taken with my new go to street shooter…the Fujifilm X-T3. I am rapidly falling in love with this camera. I bought it specifically because it takes me back to the basics. It is very reminiscent of my very first ‘real’ camera, the Fujica ST605n…back when everything was manual. I can run the X-T3 very old school…a shutter speed dial, aperture ring and manual focus…love it! Of course it is capable of much more than this, but that is why I bought it. I am much happier if I don’t have to trawl through menus…give me mechanical dials and controls anytime.

Another one out of the Fuji…our little Lulu.

I have the best intentions of capturing BTS images for you but invariably find myself fully focused on the job at hand and totally forget. I’ll try to get a few at jobs over the next couple of weeks.

Cheers.
