Hi all.
My name is Joe and just the other day I joined the Fuji-X tribe (courtesy of an XT2 and a bunch of lenses).
Some of you may recall seeing me around every so often at Serious Compacts (I recognize many familiar names here)....I started out taking photos about 5 years ago with the...
As my health (and outlook on life) slowly improves I've begun to muck about with my gear again, also, I've begun to trawl through my Lightroom catalogue and tinker with old photos as well. I typically shoot and process within a day or two of the shoot.....these however have been parked on my...
Hi Loungers.
Been a while since I've posted, I've been busy coming to terms with a rather inconvenient bastard residing in my head...Anxiety! This unwelcome squatter made its way in entirely unannounced, like a bolt out of the blue, and has meant a total rethinking of how I go about living my...
This is one of my favorite times of year, the dark grey dampness of winter begins to be periodically broken by bursts of glorious sunshine and blue skies...the promise of things to come. At first its sometimes just a splattering but more often than not, false promise....but then you get that...
Went for a short walk along the Yarra River in downtown Melbourne, it was chilly out but in a refreshing kind of way and feeling the sun on my face felt so good after such a horrid 2 weeks of nothing but miserable greyness, wind and rain. Best part of all was that I actually had the morning free...
Picked up the Nikon 20mm 1.8G the other day, a good wide was on the cards for some time now and it was a toss up between this and the CZ 21/2.8....a cracker of a lens. Ultimately decided to opt for the Nikon as it was a cool $600 cheaper on the local market and readily available, unlike the CZ21...
G'day friends...and welcome to the 12th Photographers Lounge Salon Challenge....and the theme is....MUSIC.
Music has been and still is a huge part of my life, and I'm sure many here could say the same thing. For those of you that love it, it has been your constant and you could probably relate...
I've posted a handfull of these up already in various threads, done and dusted with the post processing of the whole set so here they are.
Spent the summer holidays on the Gold Coast with family and friends, Coolangatta to be precise and it was my first time back since 2005 when I spent almost...

Melbourne served up a brilliant winters day yesterday and gave me a great opportunity to mess around with some new camera gear. (EM1, GX7 and Nikon A)
Skater kids, bless their shattered little ankles and elbows they are always an interesting subject to shoot.

Hi all.
Just got my hands on a Nikon A today, love the GR and have no plans move it on just yet, but, I have become increasingly frustrated by the way the camera simply does not respect my ISO limits that I've set up for shooting street....in EVERY other shooting scenario the camera is a dream...

Like many of you folks here I tend to shoot primes in the 28-50mm range...be it the GR(28), the RX1(35-ish) or my personal favourite the Pana Leica 25(50 eqv)...and like many of you I just find primes to be easier to shoot with, once I get my head around a particular focal length it's almost as...
Not sure if this has been posted before but I've stumbled across a really inspiring video showing both photography being used for good and of interestingly enough, capturing the 'the decisive moment'.
Hope this is new to someone. Enjoy.
Fondation Mimi - "If Only For A Second"
Been a while since I've gone out and shot, health issues have kinda put a dampener on things for me in recent months.
About 3 months ago I started getting headaches/dizzy spells and chest pains and a general feeling of great unease and of 'things' just not being quite right......naturally...

Picked up this grip recently from Japanese photo stuff guys ULYSSES....they make grips, cases, straps etc. They make a decent looking GR and OMD case for anyone interested, but my interest was for the RX1....I wanted something that protected as much body real estate as possible whilst...
Being as lazy as i am I've come to grow tired of constantly changing lenses, I'd much rather just pull out another camera...at the wide-standard focal lengths i find it to be not such a big issue, but longer is where it gets tiresome. My solution, albeit a tough one to make, was to sell both my...
Hey.
Great lens and although I find it kinda long it's always fun to use.

Hi all.
Recently did a lens swap with a fellow forum member from down the hall at mu43....nice to meet a fellow photo nerd and it's really great having someone nearby to swap gear with. Anybody in Melbourne have an RX1 they can swap for a week ?
Worked out really well, for a week i...
G'day folks.
Took this shot the other day in the city, middle of the day bright with the sun high.....was walking through a dirty back alley and snapped this.
Tricky light for the sensor to deal with. This is essentially straight out of camera jpeg (proNeg Hi i think)....put through LR4.4...
Not sure if this has been posted before, if it has, I apologize in advance, but its a new to me Fuji X100S review.
Informative as a 'users perspective' gear review in it's own right, no epic statements or fanboyisms ...and really nice photos to enjoy.

Degraves Street in town...always a nice place to go for a quick snap or 2 when there's no time to go wondering.
The luscious coffee is a bonus.
First run with the X100s and kinda liked this shot...but these X-Trans raws are going to take some getting used to I tells ya, the slightest push...
Oh my how things have changed in a week !
Pretty soon summer will be a distant memory as Melbourne assumes its more sombre winter tones.

G'day....just wanted to share some shots I took over these most recent summer holidays. Took these up in Victorian alpine country, a part of Australia that I try to visit 2 or 3 times a year...and more if its a good ski season. It's a stunning piece of country, much of it untouched and pristine...
When the October photofest began I had major doubts about being able to join in, this is a hell of a month for me with stuff flying at me from all angles, but having looked through the related threads and seeing all those awesome images and seeing how you are all supporting each other I would...
G'day SC friends.
For this salon challenge I'm going to ask you to tap into the part of soul that still feels the urge to bark at the moon.
Growing up from mischievous kid to wild young adult and finally to settled man the night was always my favourite part of the day. It was when as a kid I...
Went for a drive to a portion of coastline 2 hrs out from Melbourne which most famously is home to the "12 Apostles" rock formations....gigantic, limstone stacks that were formed by millions of years of erosion, the harsh seas of Bass Strait and southerly winds never cease and so the erosion...
G'day.
Went out the other day on a mission to try some long exposures using the filterthread free Panasonic 7-14mm. A member on the sister site recently posted a fairly simple and elegant solution to the filter issue so I headed out to a site that I'd never visited with a camera....the old...
Was feeling a little seedy on Sunday when I woke up thanks to a big Saturday night, luckily though, mother nature was in a much better mood than myself. I headed out in the hope of getting some of that energy to rub off on me. It did. My hangover ills were soon washed away and in the process I...

Hey....while you lot up there are about to enjoy the finer summer months, spare a thought for us down this end of the globe who have just entered winter.
Caught a bit of the remaining early winter color before it all vanishes away.

Hi all.
Went for a walk into town yesterday and captured some images. Decided to set myself a theme which was Urban Textures, an 'easy target' theme I guess where I could focus on trying to familiarize myself with the EM5, it was my first proper day out with it. Although I'm still fumbling...
Hi SeriousCompacts folk, thought I'd finally wander in and join the extended family.

You guys look to have great...
