Month: July 2013

Hit up Katoomba this weekend with my Fuji and this is what the built in panorama stitches together.

 

First time using my new 70-200 2.8L for some documentary work. This is what the lens was designed for! Love it.

And so part 2 of this week continues onwards as I head back home to the country. This would be my first time home when there was close to no moon, I had a tripod and I had brought my UWA lens. A perfect opportunity for some astro photography. I have tried to do some in the past but I haven’t had much success. I think that I have finally read enough and practised to get what I considered a semi-decent shot.

Another thing I’ve been wanting to do is get up BEFORE the sun rises and try some shots. So up I got in -2.5 degrees to see if I could capture the morning fog. Unfortunately I didn’t end up getting that many good photos.

Well, after a massive break away from my camera, I have had to break this week up into parts because I just took too many photos this week and despite having culled quite a few down, there’s a few different photographic expeditions I wanted to highlight. This week was a culmination of many factors: exams finalising, purchase of a grad ND kit and a fair chunk of travel out of the city.

First off, I headed out to the Blue Mountains. Wentworth Falls to be precise. This is my first time that I got to properly test out my 70-200 2.8L since I got it a month or so ago. I also took my UWA along since I knew that there would be quite a few good landscape opportunities. Wentworth Falls was beyond anything that I had imagined.

Regardless, it was certainly worth the trek down (and up again). I would recommend anyone do it.

I also wandered along the Charles Darwin Walk and here is where you would walk if you wanted to see a tonne of birdlife.
