I know there have been a few minor changes here and there in the blog and I haven’t really commented on it. The most important change is that now I have a photographic calendar. At the end of the page, you will be able to see a section called “Upcoming Events”. I created an online […]

View ArticleNot really WRITER’S block, more like photographer’s block. Next weekend I will take photos of my friend Cintia, it will be fun. Not really sure what to ask of her. I was thinking some photos around the Carlton Gardens: on the benches, the grass, close to the Royal Exhibition Building… maybe in the Melbourne Museum […]

So I started looking at doing a bit more progress with the What the Eyes Can’t See. With a new IR filter that arrived, I decided to give them a try. Not particularly happy with the results. I struggled with the IR photos as I needed a slow shutter speed for me to be able […]
