I have used social media for years…first it was Facebook, then I moved onto my current obsession of Instagram. But as I have been getting more into my photography…both film and digital…I was wanting something that was less commercial…less in your face…less sneakily snoopy. And I have found it! Say hello to Ello… Ello […]

Rescuing Vintage Film Cameras

Over the last few months, I have fallen back in love with film photography. I used to shoot film when I was younger, but like many others, quickly switched to digital as soon as I could. But the call of the past has got me, and I now use film cameras alongside my digital of […]
Being a Photographer
By Sarah in Photography Tags: film photography, photographer, photography, vintage camera
On the weekend, I was asked what my favourite genre to photograph…I was a bit lost for words, mainly because I never really thought about it. I am very much an amateur photographer, but I am very keen…have been for years. It is a rare occasion where you won’t find me with at least one […]

I have been increasingly annoyed by the neck strap on my Fuji X100s camera…it keeps getting in the way, and getting caught on things. And to be honest, I rarely carry my camera over my shoulder or around my neck. So I investigated an alternative solution and discovered the wrist strap…and by golly, there are […]

Yesterday, we attended the Dawn Service, held at the Shrine of Remembrance in Melbourne…an amazing experience that everyone should do at least once in their lives. The Shrine itself is imposing…built on top of a man made hill, looking directly up St Kilda Road towards the city… This iconic building was originally built after the […]

I always take at least one camera with me on holidays…and for years, it has always been digital cameras. But on our recent holiday, there was another camera that made it into my hand luggage…a vintage Yashica Mat-124 G… This camera was made around 1971…so is almost as old as I am…and it uses film. […]
Captain Cook Highway – Rock Stacks

About 10 mins drive north of Palm Cove (just after where the Captain Cook Hwy divides into two), there is something that is definitely worth stopping for. Seemingly in a random spot, stacks of stones can be seen precariously balancing…a man-made phenomenon which is happening across the world… No one seems quite sure when this […]
