Just some photos I took during my travels last year.

Just some random shots with the new lens

Been out of the game for awhile due to partially losing my vision. Some photos I've taken while going through my bucket list.

Winter's in full swing and I checked out the Firelight festival by the Docklands in the Melbourne CBD. Its so hard not having a PC, even something as simple as uploading a sharing photos becomes so long winded. I can't wait to get a replacement.

Did my annual Melbourne to Sydney long drive to visit my family at Christmas time. Just some random shots of me mucking about with my sisters while snacking on cherries.

I decided to go hiking and camping for a week around the Franklin-Gordon national park in Tasmania 2 months ago. While camping and enjoying the great outdoors is a popular past time in Tasmania almost everyone I know reckons I'm a complete lunatic for doing so for a couple of reasons 1. Camping...

I had a gander at my local photography shop for a UV filter for the 16mm, Some people swear by them some people don't. Personally I couldn't care less either way, I just thought it would be good to have some protection to the front element. Took some random shots of buskers and carvings while...

Just a bit of background, I have mentioned in a thread somewhere that I feel there are times that listening to a particular music or song influences the way you shoot or the way your photos end up looking after processing them. Though I don't mind his music I wouldn't call myself a big Johnny...

This is not a review of the 16mm 1.4, there are already heaps of reviews of this lens all over the net. This is just my personal rambling regarding the 16mm framelines in the OVF. Finally bit the bullet and got the 16mm 1.4 today (which pretty much means I'll be living off 2 minute noodles for...

Instead off going off topic in another thread, I’ll start a new one. Bill coined the term “Fujicron” and just for yuks I called the 16mm 1.4 (which I am planning to purchase) a “Fujilux” I was watching some reviews for the 16mm 1.4 in youtube and came across a video by bigheadtaco and he did...

I came across this interesting clip regarding Fuji's resurgence after the advent of digital photography.

I was trying to embark on a personal project of shooting a collection of long exposures, but I was finding it difficult due to time constraints, general lack of motivation and inspiration. So instead I'll share the photos I took in between shots which is a lot more than my planned project.

Just some photos of the annual Moomba festival and some random shots along the way. My new favourite band

Just some random photos I took of my sister when we were mucking around Sydney around Christmas when I dropped in to visit.

I was talking about my camera I am I joking?? Maybe...

A bit of background first I have been very busy (and still am) for the last 6 months, and at the same time I am still undergoing therapy, part of my therapy is to do some volunteer work, which I do on my spare time. I volunteer at my local community arts centre teaching photography with...

Day 1

I came across this article today. Because of my preferred genre I used to hang around people who take these kind of shots and this is something I have always felt but never voiced out. I ended up distancing myself for them as I did not want to be accused of “not being able to see their vision”...

If you’re thinking ‘huh?’, read on, though I will warn you it will be a lengthy read full of whining on my part due to my ineptitude. I haven’t really taken any photos in a month or two and was experiencing a photographic lull which was primarily attributed to not being able to use the 23...

Crop or Crap: Math or Moment I saw this a couple of days ago and he does touch on some very enlightening and sobering facts about gear, particularly sensor size. Whether you subscribe to his point of view or not one cannot deny that Zach Arias is a working professional who chooses to shoot...

Just some photos from the Luna 1878 Night Market in Melbourne Victoria.

I came across this in Fujirumours regarding a rumoured Fuji medium format camera, while it’s not really ‘new’ per se and it is just a rumour, I would love to hear other people’s thoughts about it. I myself am interested on what it could do, what features could it have,why the skip from full...

Also shared in Fujixspot I traveled to Sydney and spent a week with my family just to take it easy and to help me recuperate. Usually late in the evenings my baby sister (I say baby in comparative manner since I'm prehistoric) would just hang around with me in the lounge in between messaging...

I attended the annual Melbourne Zombie Shuffle last Saturday. Here are some of my images

I picked up from the "Please Introduce Yourself" thread some healthy discussion regarding what we would like changed, retained, improved. etc.... on the X-Pro 1, XE-1, X100(s), etc.... I thought I'd start a new thread to specifically discussing these. As always, it's just a discussion on a...

Just an update, the Fujinon XF 23mm F1.4 R has officially been announced I saw this from Fujirumors today, and I'm starting to feel my wallet panic.

I took some photos when I went to the Queen Victoria Market, they have a winter night market which they call Luna 1878 (please don't ask me why they call it as such as I have no idea myself) According to the Victoria Market official website: "This August the Market will...

The weekend was was quite nippy it was only 5 degrees (41 F) and quite rainy (very typical Melbourne weather). I went to a Chinese Night Market and a Peruvian festival to try my luck at some photos, but it was just too wet and rainy and ended up with just a handful.

There was a "Light in winter " festival recently in the Melbourne CBD which is supposed to be the night closest to the true winter solstice. According to the schedule there was supposed to be a light show, a lantern procession, a choir performance, and so on and so forth. The light show ended up...

I really haven't done any photography lately, I had to deal with some personal loss that I am not going to discuss as well as being preoccupied with other things, so when a local meet up group organised a streetphotography themed shoot in Melbourne's CBD, I took advantage of the opportunity to...

The city of Melbourne has held it's first annual Glow Run. The idea is to hold a 5 km fun run at night where participants of all ages were encouraged to wear costumes and glow in the dark apparel and paraphernalia. There were DJs pumping out dance music at every checkpoint to help energise the...

I'm feeling in a bit of a lull lately, I went with a local meet up photography group that took some photos in the Werribee Mansion. It's a turn of the century estate transformed into a park since it sits next door to the Melbourne state Rose Gardens. Just some images I shot...

I have attended the annual Japanese Summer festival held in the Melbourne Docklands with my local Meet Up group. It was a lot of fun, There was a lot of girls dressed in a Yukata (a kimono worn in summer), there were also cosplayers with costumes ranging from the mild to the wild across all...

A bit superficial this thread :p, but one thing I do like with my Fuji XP1 is it's retro design and the ability to customise it to your liking. I use the handgrip which I find really helps with the ergonomics I have replaced the squashed coke can lens hood with a vented hood lens cap purely...

I joined my local photography Meet Up group for a photographic walk around the CBD this Australia Day. As expected there was a lot of parades, flag waving and costumes which everyone was taking photos of, so I decided to take photos of the photography group members instead when they were taking...

I went to the Fairy and Folk walk on the weekend with my friend and took some shots, and while the official theme of the walk was fae and folk it did not stop some people turning up dressed as Dragon Ball Z characters or Sailormoon heroines. I found myself a bit off my game as well, due to the...

As some of us use photography as a livelihood I understand that sometimes the artist's vision does not necessarily meet the client's demands, and art being a subjective subject I came across an interesting article that I thought touches on this issue. - The Age article.

I went for my annual Japan trip, a trip that I really look forward to every year, this year's trip though was really quite short though, it was less than a week and I did not have much time to go out and about to take photos, but that's alright the main reason for my trip this year other than...

I don't usually take long exposures, but the XP-1 and Silver Efex Pro 2 has me exploring photographic ideas I usually shy away from. Here are 2 examples

I attended the annual Melbourne Zombie shuffle last week, it's an annual event where people can dress up as zombies and parade around the Melbourne CBD through a pre-determined route. This year's shuffle attracted more than 3000 people which made it the biggest zombie shuffle to date. I signed...
