Chasing Light on the Streets – Melbourne

Circumstances have meant that for the most part my street photography sessions take place during the day. Why? Well I have children and so I fit in street photography sessions during school hours on week days and when I can get family to be with my youngest during the weekend. And that is great for…

Street Photography with the Fujifilm XF14mmF2.8.

It is interesting as a photographer of any genre that you will get advice or direction as to what a specific lens focal length is used for. Plenty of commentators on social media, blogs and YouTube will be very specific about this kind of thing and will even say things like ‘you should never use…

My Street Photography Camera Bag – ONA The Bowery

Like most photographers I know that suffer some form of GAS (Gear Acquisition Syndrome), I am forever searching for a ‘better’ bag to carry my camera gear. It is an endless pursuit as our gear changes regularly or the needs of the day require different gear to be with me. Or, at times, it is…

Travel Plans – Tokyo 2017 – Fujifilm X70

Last year when I travelled to Japan my kit was far too heavy. Even for Fujifilm. I took with me my X-T1, 23mmF1.4, 16mmF1.4, 18-135mm, 27mmF2.8 – that 18-135mm is heavy. And to make matters worse – one slightly drunken afternoon in Kyoto – I walked into Yodobashi Camera Store and purchased the 50-140mm! Thankfully,…

Prahran – Melbourne – Fujifilm X70

I grew up in a fairly vanilla suburb in Melbourne. Not a lot happened on the streets. There just wasn’t a scene unless you count the gangs of kids on their BMX’s. I lived with my parents in the home I had lived all my life until around my 21st Birthday. They are still there…

Wedding Photography – keeping it in the family!

When I first took up photography and then later decided that I would make something more from it, I always believed that I would never be a wedding photographer. I am not sure why to be truly honest. Perhaps, it was a kind of fear that the expectations placed upon me would be too intense.…

Street photography with the Fujifilm X70

In a recent blog about what I pack into my camera bag, I talked about the Fujifilm X70. I originally purchased this little powerhouse as a vlogging camera as it is light, has a great wide angle and shoots video in HD. I am still getting the hang of this camera as a video unit…

The B-Sides – Japan 2015

If you read my last post you will be well aware that I am suffering from a bit of a creative block. Looking for inspiration in a busy life can be tough and usually personal pursuits such as hobbyist photography take the back seat when the family needs me. In my previous blog, I talked…
