A Travel, Photography and Points Blog
I’m writing this in the second week of the new year. The busy end of year rush in December meant I didn’t get a chance to sit down and reflect on my 2018 year of photography. Better late than never! As usual I’ve set myself a variety of goals for the new year and several of them of course include photography, blogging and travelling. Before we dig into my goals for 2019, lets have a look at how I went in 2018.

Christ Church one of 38 colleges of the University of Oxford. It’s also probably one of the most famous buildings in Oxford. Being a Harry Potter fan, it was very exciting to be able to visit the Great Dining Hall of Christ Church. It was the inspiration for the dining hall in Hogwarts castle in the Harry Potter movies.

After spending a day exploring Cambridge, we drove 2 hours southwest towards Oxford. The traffic on the motor way between the two cities was quite bad that evening. We didn’t make it into Oxford until quite late at night. We headed straight to a local English pub for some pub grub for dinner and called it a night.

After spending 2 weeks driving around and exploring Iceland, it was time to head back into civilisation. I didn’t capture many photos on our last day in Iceland before we flew out. We spent the day slowly driving back to Reykjavík. We checked out a couple of lesser known locations in the morning and spent the afternoon at the Blue Lagoon. Unfortunately for us, the hot water system broke down and the lines to check into the lagoon was massive. We did eventually make it in but the water was tepid in certain areas of the lagoon. I can see the appeal of the lagoon. The blue colour was very cool. But it was probably one of the most touristy activities in Iceland. We got up very early in the morning to make it for our morning flight back to London. We picked up our rental car at Heathrow airport, drove up to Cambridge and stayed the night.

This is the fifth and final post of the blog series on Open House Perth 2018. I had a great time volunteering for the event and met a bunch of interesting people who were volunteers. I really enjoyed volunteering as a photographer and shooting with the Fujifilm X-T10 and the 23mm f2 lens. Its not a normal lens that photographers would use in real estate or architectural photography. However I really approached the 2 days of photographing with an event photography approach. Capturing the people attending the event and enjoying the space. As well as capturing the beautiful architecturer and the fellow volunteers at each of the site I visited. I feel like I’ve grown and improved my skills as a photographer with two full days of photography. In addition to being able to check out some well designed and beautiful buildings around Perth.
