Fringe World Buskers Weekend was a big success. It was the first time they had organised a weekend full of street performers. From comedians and magicians, to musicians and circus stunts. It was another fun and challenging Fringe shoot. The brief of the event shoot was to photograph happy weekenders enjoying the shows. I really enjoyed capturing the emotions of the crowds as well as the performers themselves. We were treated to some really cool shows all for free or for a tip.
Kek Lok Si Temple in Penang is one of Penang’s popular tourist attractions. During the Chinese New Year period, the temple is particularly popular with both tourist and locals. The temple is lit up throughout the night during the 15 days of Chinese New Year. You can see the lights of the temple from a distance. Leading up to the temple are also hundreds of lanterns lighting up the streets. We attempted to go to the temple twice, and we saw plenty of traffic on both nights. I did manage to capture the streets and the temple lights from afar which I quite liked. Enjoy the photos below.
Back in February, a small group of us from the Fuji X Aus Facebook group met up at Elizabeth Quay for a photowalk. We also had the guys from DigiDirect bring some gear for us to test out, which was good fun. The theme for the day was “make big things look small” which is the current competition in the group. We were split into pairs to roam the city. Coincidentally it was also the Fringe Buskers Weekend in Perth so there were plenty of people and activity around that afternoon. I’ve shared three of my favourite shots of the day in this post. As it was a bit of a competition and prizes were up for grabs courtesy of Fujifilm Australia, it was fun to really challenge myself with the theme. I was pleasantly surprised when I ended up with the shot of the day and walked away with some Fujifilm goodies!
Thanks for stopping by today.

Gnomesvilles is located down south in Ferguson Valley. We paid it a visit a couple of weekends ago when we were down in Donnybrook for the weekend. It’s an unusual little place which became affectionately known as Gnomesville. There are literally thousands of gnomes of varying sizes.
After years in the making, Perth finally opened it’s doors to our new stadium, Optus Stadium. It was a very warm Sunday afternoon when my family and I decided to check out the new stadium on open day. Public transport worked pretty well and the crowds were pretty well behaved. The stadium does look impressive up close and from a distance.
