Walking Arnarstapi to Hellnar and the Black Church, Snaefellsnes, Iceland

Snaefellsnes Peninsula in Iceland is a very popular spot for travellers to Iceland. Fjords, cliff walks, volcanic peaks, glaciers and beaches are some of the highlights.

The walk from Arnarstapi to Hellnar is one of the easier and more popular short walks in Iceland. We were very fortunate to have a blue sky sunny day when we visited Arnarstapi. We parked the car and leisurely made our way to Hellnar. We were treated to stunning sea side views, magnificent cliffs and moss-covered lava fields. It was one of my favourite places in Iceland. You could easily do a return walk in 2 hours. The landscape was a photographer’s paradise.

West Fjords, Iceland Part II

I’m back with more photos from Iceland after having a month off from sharing photos from Iceland. After a quiet day checking out Dynjandi Waterfall, we spent the next day exploring more of the West Fjords. The highlights from the day were the site of the old whaling ship Gardar BA 64, Látrabjarg, Rauðisandur (Red sand beach) and Breiðavík Church (The red-roofed church).

Perth Street Photography

Perth City street shooting

I was in the Perth city area on the weekend and had a spare hour before my next commitment. I figured I would take the opportunity to just walk around and shoot some urban landscapes and street photography. I don’t often do street portraits or intentionally include people in my shots. This time I tried to include people where possible to add some movement and story to my photos. I tried to keep this session simple. All JPEGs in Classic Chrome film simulation. I did import it into Lightroom and did some light retouching.

Fuji X Aus October Meet Up, Kings Park

Fuji X Aus Perth October Meet Up, Kings Park

Our awesome Fuji X Aus PERTH reps, Gus and Chong, pulled together a meet up for October (when they are already busily organise an over night trip down to Margaret River for November!) last Tuesday night with a pretty great turn out! Despite somewhat of a cold spring night in Perth, we had around 10 people rock up (might be the largest Perth meet up so far… yay Perth). The theme of the meet up was long exposure photography and Kings Park were we tried out hand at capturing light trail from the cars on the freeway.

It was a great excuse for me to take out my tripod and pull out my favourite low light lens. The Fujifilm X-T10 and my trusty 35mm f1.4 did a pretty decent job of capturing the night lights, if I may say so myself. Gus also had a surprise for us that night…. the brand new Fujifil X-T3! It was great fun getting to play around with it wit the 35mm f2 on the camera.Guess which of the 5 images on this shot was taken with the X-T3 🙂 Answer will be revealed at the end. Even though I was testing out the camera in almost pitch black, it was familiar enough for me to get it up and running. I really enjoyed using the X-T2 so I didn’t expect the X-T3 to disappoint… and it didn’t. If i was on the market for a new camera that would likely be my pick. But alas, my little X-T10 is still doing a fine job for me.

West Fjords’ Dynjandi Waterfall, Iceland

For the first time during our roadtrip, we were based at the same accommodation for two nights straight. It was a nice change to not be packing and unpacking daily. The thing with the West Fjords in Iceland is that quite a few of the sights that we wanted to visit were too far apart. This meant we only aimed to check out one thing this day, which was Dynjandi waterfall. As we had an early night the previous night, my friend and I woke up a bit earlier to walk aroudn the small town we were staying in. He flew his drone around while I explored the town on foot and took a few photos. The church above was a centre piece for the town. The illustrated map of Iceland on the wall was a pretty cool feature of the town.
