    Fuji GSW690III Professional – The Texas Leica

    October 11, 2016 /

    There is a saying that “everything in Texas is bigger”.  So, let’s take the svelte Leica M camera, and visualise what it would look like if it came from Texas, but to add a twist, has the build from Japan.  We have just described the Fuji GSW690III Professional camera.  This is a camera capable of some amazing results, has an extremely sharp lens and is quite mobile.  It also shoots big 6×9 negatives with so much detail that suck you into the picture.  Not a street shooter, but a great companion for travel photography. Specifically, the GSW690III, is the third generation of a successful line for Fuji, and as per…

    Icons of Sydney

    September 22, 2016 /

    Each city in the world has its own image and style defined by its people and landmarks.  Each city has specific icons, which help define it to the rest of the world.  As photographers, we sometimes concentrate so much on capturing something so different that we forget to capture the defining beauty of our city. In this project I am aiming at capturing what tourists know but locals forget is sometimes there.  This will be an ongoing project for me, I suspect years in the making, but in the end, it will encompass all of the well-known Icons of Sydney, but will also include some lesser known ones which normally…

    Tale of two festivals, with two different camera bags

    September 14, 2016 /

    Last weekend Sydney hosted two quite different festivals, The Festival of Chocolate and The Festival of the Wind.  Both with a tonne of photographic opportunities, but to my mind requiring very different approaches.  I attended both of these and thought it would be interesting to show what I chose to use and why.  I will be posting the photographs I was able to make soon, but this article is primarily on the different camera bags of equipment. I actually wrote this article because I get asked quite often by people what type of camera or equipment they should buy and use.  While I do tend to try and help people,…

    Kodak No. 0 Brownie Model A – Shooting at over 100 years strong

    September 7, 2016 /

    Sometimes there is a real sense of clarity by stripping back to basics.  There are of-course basics and then there are real basics.  That is what using a camera that is one-hundred years old and is effectively designed as a box brings us.  The Kodak No. 0 Brownie Model A is a camera which helped introduce photography to the people, but how is it to use in the modern age? History Kodak has a long and very focused history, of which is well known and too long to include in this article.  The Brownie history is also a very long one, starting in 1900 until the final model being produced…
