Sydney Airport 24 Jan 2009

Today I went to the airport to meet my friend who was coming back from a holiday overseas. Taking the opportunity I grabbed the Fuji S5 Pro and headed up to the observation deck to take come photos before her flight arrived. Not great photos but I thought I would share

New Review/Thought : Fujifilm FinePix F100fd + WP-FXF100

The Fujifilm FinePix F100fd has become my compact camera of choice, it combines a formidable arsenal of features that makes it one of the most capble cameras of its type. Add the WP-FXF100 and you have an even more capable camera…more

Botanical Gardens

Another trip to the gardens, this time an early morning one with the hope of catching the dragonflies before they get too active, unfortunately they did not come out to play, but here are some pictures from the walk in the gardens.

Removal of Google Adsense

After consideration of the success (the lack of) of the implementation of Google Adsense I have decided to remove AdSense units from all locations with the exception of the sidebar. If you have been using these links in the past, please continue to do so.

Ducks, Geese and even a Pelican!

I decided to have another shot at those water hen chicks this afternoon, I didn’t do too well with them, but I did manage to get some great shots of ducks, geese and even a pelican. All the photos were taken with my D300 using my Tamron 70-300mm lens, once again this lens proves to be capable of producing good results.

Sony Alpha A350…

Although my system of choice is Nikon, to people that know me I am pretty much a cross platform junkie; I will play with anything that I can get my hands on whether it be Nikon, Canon, Olympus, Pentax and now even Sony. Just give me a camera and a lens and I’ll happily play with it.

At the present moment I have in my possession a Sony Alpha A350 courtesy of a close friend. I have used this camera at Sony events in the past but have never really been able to put it through its paces so I am relishing the opportunity to really test this camera that has proven fairly popular…..more

This is the first of my collection thoughts and reviews, stay tuned for more reviews.

Sydney Festival Opening Night…10 Jan 2009

The opening of Sydney Festival 2009 saw a massive free festival of live music acts and performances at key venues in the city CBD. I decided to get out there and enjoy the night, bringing with me a small kit (not small enough as it turns out) to take pictures of the festivities. Here are some of my better pictures from the night.

Nikon Active D-Lighting…It works!!

Nikon introduced this feature with their ground breaking D300 back in August 2007 and has been used in all their new DSLRs since. What is it? Does it work? How is it different from D-Lighting?….more
