The whole square filters subject has inspired a lot in my interest in filters in general. The main reason I would use filters on my lenses would be to either protected them with a MC UV filter, or to make the colors pop-up with the CPL filter. Small intermission in my discussion about filters in […]

No, I have not purchased a square kit for my lenses. I bought round/circular filters. Before we get down to the purchase itself, I have to ponder about a couple more things in regard to the potential of buying the square filters. IF – and that is a big if – I buy square filters, […]

After the post earlier today, I kept thinking about how much of filters do I use and would I use (provided I had more). Short answer is, other the MC UV and CPL, I don’t really use filters.

So, on our Woodend photography expedition; where we will take photos, hike and eat vanilla slice; we found a lovely BnB in Gisborne that accepts dogs. It’s not as close to Woodend as we wanted, but the place is lovely. […]
View Article Ok, I have taken good landscape photos… I think and hope. This post is actually to talk about the prep-work behind landscape/night sky photography. I am planning a road trip on the long Labor Day weekend. So far, the best place I’ve come up with is Woodend/Mount Macedon. Why have I been looking at that? […]

With the road trip to the Otways Redwood Forest this past long weekend, I realized I need to use more of my tripod. I know my style of photography is more geared towards Street Photography, where I like to capture the moment of people and reactions, but along the lines of me going to a […]

Last night’s dinner was a double feature of ceviche… well not really. For dinner, I made a Mexican based ceviche and a Ají Amarillo based tiradito! It was delicious, fresh and slightly spicy.
