A Travel, Photography and Points Blog
Instax Australia recently shared another article I wrote on their blog. I had so much fun writing about my experience using the Instax SQ1 for my trip down in the South West, but also photographing and creating the content for the article. If you’re into instant cameras, Instax Australia frequently releases articles, tips and tricks on using their various instant cameras. Definitely check them out! Below is the article I shared.

Just because you can’t travel overseas doesn’t mean you can’t travel and explore.
Take this opportunity to explore your own backyard. I guarantee you there are places to see and things to do in your own city and state!
Maybe it’s somewhere you’ve always been interested in felt “you can do that any time” and instead opted for an overseas trip.
Broome in WA is one of those places for me. People from other parts of Australia and the world dream of travelling to Broome to explore the sun-kissed lands in the North West of Australia.
Yet being a WA local, I have yet to go myself.

In my view Fujifilm has dominated the instant film camera market. It’s great to see Polaroid making their own push into the market to drive up competition and innovation. I have always been fond of the idea of instant film but until recently have not owned an instant camera of my own. There is something alluring about instant film. For a digital photographer like myself, taking photos then bringing it into a whole workflow process that involves post-processing software such as Lightroom and then sharing onto platforms like your own blog, instagram or facebook, can sometimes feel like a lot of work. Shooting on a camera that produces instant film and have relatively have few controls to slow you down, you get to focus on light and composition when taking photos.

Since I stopped working in Perth city a few years ago, I’m not often in the city during the week. A few weeks ago, I was in the city for a work-related meeting on a Thursday afternoon. After the meeting I took the opportunity to hang around for an hour or so to do some late afternoon street photography. Fellow photographer Robert also managed to join me briefly towards the end of my walk. The 4.30pm to 5.30pm was pretty good. I loved the long shadows and warm light. As it was a Thursday afternoon, there weren’t a lot of people out and about in the City. It was mostly people rushing home after work. After 5.30pm the streets were relatively empty. I managed to get a few street scenes with people in it.

My name is Janice and I’m a blogger and photographer from the sunny coastal city of Perth, Western Australia. For as long as I can remember, I always had a passion for the arts and creative pursuits. When I was growing up, I loved writing, drawing and arts and craft classes. While I currently work in the healthcare industry, photography and writing has become my creative passion and creative outlet.
