A Travel, Photography and Points Blog
For Father’s day last year in September, we spent a day in Perth Hills with the family. We kicked off our day at Masonmills Garden and Restaurant. We enjoyed the autumn sunshine while we had lunch outdoors. After lunch we walked around the gardens. We were greeted with an amazing bloom of cherry blossoms around the gardens. After lunch we enjoyed a late afternoon snack and drink at Core Cider House to finish off our day.

A couple of weeks ago, I was approached by friend and developer IE House to do a fun collaboration with a coffee roaster Pastel Coffee and newly opened Sanctum Cafe in Victoria Park. The premise of the photoshoot was to do a lifestyle branding shoot featuring Pastel Coffee’s Sanctum blend that is purpose roasted for Sanctum Cafe. The key photographs we were aiming to achieve were day in the life style images of enjoying coffee at home, making coffee at home (espresso style and pour over filter coffee) and also some product shots of the coffee itself.

This is my impressions and review of the their canvas print and ultra gloss metal print.

Over the Easter Long weekend back in early April, I went on my first proper photowalk in 2021 with my Fujifilm X-T4 camera with the Fujifilm 23mm f2 lens. It was the first time I was using The X-T4 for full on a casual walk. So far I’ve only used the X-T4 for client work and just haven’t had much free time this year to just do photography for fun. For the walk I decided to use Ritchie’s Kodachrome II Film Simulation recipe. It has a bit of an old school nostalgic look.
