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).

Maternity shoot at Hyde Park, Perth

Maternity shoot in Hyde Park, Perth

Last month, I had the privilege and joy of doing a maternity photo shoot for my good friends at Hyde Park, Perth. When my friend first approached me to do some photos for her and her husband before her baby came along, I was excited by the challenge but also hesitant as it’s not a photography genre I am familiar with. I did some basic research on maternity photography and also threw around some ideas with her. I suggested Hyde Park in Perth for the location of the shoot as it’s one of my favourite parks in Perth.

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.
