The Brookfield Winter Lights festival has been held in Perth for the last few years. Every year there is a different theme to the light projections. I can’t quite remember what the theme was in 2017. Last year they had a cool arcade theme going on. This year they had a fun and whimsical circus theme. Along with some food trucks and performances.

I headed straight to into Perth city after work on Friday night to meet a friend for dinner. I had a spare hour before it was time to meet and decided to bring my camera along to do some shooting. I shot with the Fujifilm X-T10 and the 23mm f2 lens. A great combination for some street and night photography, with the fast focusing and lightweight combination. As always I enjoy shooting urban architecture. I tried to incorporate some people into my shots where possible but I’m still not that brave to do any street portraiture where people are the focus of the shot.

A couple of weekends ago I attended a kids birthday picnic party that was hosted at the Perth Zoo. It was a beautiful autumn day for the event. After all the food, fun and socialising wrapped up, I took the opportunity to walk around the zoo. I have not photographed pets or animals before so i thought it would also be a fun challenge to see what I can get. I decided to bring the 18-55mm zoom lens with me instead of a prime lens for better versatility. Here are some photos from my afternoon walk around the zoo. I was going for a muted tones look in my post-processing.

Last night we probably had the biggest turn out at a Perth Fuji X Aus meet up yet. Around 19 people were in attendance. I was excited to head out to the meetup as a rep for the first time. It was great meeting new faces who haven’t made it to the meetups so far and also to catch up with some familiar faces. We even had “surprised” guests from across the Nullarbor from Melbourne. It was fantastic to have Ian and Rena Tan (fellow Melbourne reps) join us for for the night. They are a wealth of knowledge and fun.
