All About Still Life
Welcome to my first fortnightly update for April 2020. Smaller Celebrations Despite still not being allowed outside,I have been shooting a bit more. As you can tell by the featured image at the top of the page, we had some birthday celebrations over the past fortnight. Prior to this whole pandemic, we were actually meant…

My First Update for 2020
Here is my first update for 2020. I was originally planning on uploading these earlier but my holiday to Auckland and redesigning of TPE took up more time than I planned. This is a combination of images I took over the holiday period. Some are of my new lens which I have reviewed here. I…

A New Style of Product Photography
Over the past week I’ve been trying to decide (and still deciding) if I should sell my M5. It’s not that I don’t like it, I just don’t use it enough and the money could go to a drone or new monitor which I really want. I watched this really great tutorial on removing backgrounds in…

My Newest Obsession
I’m very pleased to say my Sony FE 35mm f/1.8 has finally arrived 🎉 I have had very limited use with the lens so far but from my limited use, I’m very impressed. It’s a tiny bit bigger than my Canon EF-M 32mm f/1.4 which is a crop lens! I tried taking a few images…

Sony WF-1000XM3
Here are the recently released Sony WF-1000XM3. I couldn’t resist but get myself a pair and so far I’m glad I did. I’m surprised to say the audio quality of these can easily match my Bose QC35II’s. They’re just a few days old so this may change over time, but i doubt it.

Replay
Recently I started my second play through of The Witcher 3 Wild Hunt. When I originally played it on PS4, I didn’t get to play the DLC. Back then I didn’t have a decent PC and with this game always on sale, I got the complete edition on PC. So far I’ve played for 105…

Time
Although I don’t particularly like wrist watches (aside from Smart Watches), I really love pocket watches. This one I bought from a local store as I’ve always owned cheap ones off eBay, but never anything of decent quality. This image is actually taken on my bed with some fairly lights hung up in the background.…

Nike Air Max 97
These are some sneakers I got on sale a few weeks ago. I always take a photo of my sneakers before I wear them for the first time and this was no different. To light this image I used my Godox AD200 and it is composed of 5 separate photos. Each photo was taken to…
