Unproductive Times
Welcome to the first update for May 2020. To say it’s been an unproductive time would be an understatement. As you can probably tell by the amount of photos in this post, I haven’t been shooting much. The image below I took on evening when I went to get some takeaway for dinner. Although we usually try and eat at home as much as we can to save money, it’s…

In this post I’ll share my thought on both the event itself along with the lenses. The Event The event started at a hotel in the city. Before the presentation started we…

One Lens Leaves While Another Arrives
This past weekend, I said goodbye to one lens and hello to another. Recently I posted about selling my Canon EF 16-35mm f/4L IS in favor of the Sony FE 16-35mm f/2.8 GM. I already went into why I made the switch on my review, so I won’t repeat it here. Despite the fact that the Sony 16-35 GM is one of, if not the best lens I’ve used to…

I have several friends that live there and one had described Auckland as being like Perth. I have to admit that in the Uber ride to our hotel, it did seem really quite despite being a…

Here are some photos from around the Christmas Markets at The Rocks here in Sydney. I went during the day when it was quite warm so I didn’t take too many photos. The best part…
