Adventures in Kyoto, Uji and Nara
After much delay I’m finally done with editing the images from my time in Kyoto. Now despite having 52 images to post there was obviously a lot more, but I tried to narrow it down to what I would consider the better images. My impressions of the 3 places would come down to this. Kyoto… Read more

The Sigma 50mm f/2 DG DN Has Arrived
Last week I received my Sigma 50mm f/2 DG DN Contemporary lens. This lens will be something small I can carry around with me when I don’t feel like dealing with the added weight of my 35GM or 85mm Art. Also, once I get the a7C II this lens will primarily be used with that… Read more

I Got the Apple iPhone 15 Plus!
After 4 years of owning an Apple iPhone XS Max, I finally upgraded. Like anything I thought I’d share some images of the new phone which I took with the Sigma 105mm f/2.8 DN Art. This is now my go to product photography lens and it’s continuing to impress me. Below are the actual images… Read more

Blue Hour at Blackwattle Bay in Sydney
Last weekend I had some free time so decided to go to a location not too far from me to capture a sunset/blue hour shot of Anzac Bridge which you can see at the top of the page. The details for that shot are as follows: I’ve shot this bridge before from a further away… Read more

I Finally Gave in and Bought a New Fujifilm Body
I have some exciting news as I am the proud owner of a Fujifilm X-S20! I sold my X-S10 back in May as soon as the new body was announced and was waiting for some decent sales. Those sales finally arrived and I’m sure if I waited until the end of the year they would… Read more

Our Short Stay in the Cities of Himeji and Kobe
Despite visiting there in March and having less than 30 images across the two locations to share, I’ve only just finally finished this post. Now although I labelled it as Himeji AND Kobe, majority of the images are from the latter. My sister in law was living/working in Himeji at the time so we mainly… Read more

My Short Trip to Queenstown, New Zealand
Almost two months ago I went to Queenstown, New Zealand for my 1 year wedding anniversary. This was my first time visiting Queenstown and I have to say, I really enjoyed it. I’m not much of a nature person but as you can tell, this is certainly a nature type of place. We were only… Read more

During Christmas last year I got the Lego Bonsai Tree as a present but hadn’t found the time to set it up. As I needed something for this week’s entry, I figured it was time to make it. I used my grey background with natural light coming from the window to camera left. The gear… Read more

![My Favorite Animal [27/52]](https://photosbydlee.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/07/The-Welcoming-Party.webp)
This is a post I was hesitant to make. If you do read each of my 52 Week Project posts, you’ll notice I’m behind by two weeks I believe. I’ve been having some eye issues which has prevented me from both shooting and editing. This eye condition can last up to 4 months and my… Read more
