A last minute fill in for a photographer,who was off sick, left me only time to charge a battery and get there
The event was incredible fun and thanks to everyone for giving me photos. It makes it much easier. That doesn’t mean I won’t sneak the good shots while you are not looking:)
Our Gallery
Thousands of people braved the cold morning to attend the Werribee 2024 ANZAC dawn service.
It was a fantastic weather for the Pre-ANZAC day march with hundreds of people in attendance.
The last year i have been low profile as I moved to Geelong to a broken old house and someone had to fix it. That someone, being, me.
I have not upgraded anything. The Nikon is looking very battered and may soon have to be retired but the Leica still looks good, a bit of brassing,but, other than that. It works.
My old OM1 has gone to a better home. I can’t ever see myself shooting film again so that is good.
Leica, my go-to brand, doesn’t exactly play in the super zoom playground, and to be honest, their price tag would probably have me hosting a yard sale for my spare kidney even if they did. So, I ventured into Nikon territory. I’m now the owner of a Nikon D7200, sporting a nifty 18-140mm zoom lens. It may be a bit of a classic, but it’s got a 24Mpx sensor that’s just right for my needs—great quality without overwhelming my hard drives. What a fantastic little (big) addition to the gear shelf
Leica Apo-Macro-Elmarit-Tl 60mm F/2.8
For my highly detailed photography of gorgeous things I needed something exceptional. It also shoots magnificent portraits of people
This lens is built to deliver exceptional performance. Designed for detailed close-up photography, it offers consistent, premium image quality at all focus distances. The apochromatic design of the lens effectively removes color distortions and chromatic aberrations, ensuring pure colors in your images. In addition, the inclusion of four aspherical elements minimizes spherical aberrations, enhancing the overall image clarity and precision.
Leica Summicron-T 23mm f/2 ASPH Lens
I have had this lens for a few years now and it never ceases to amaze me. Gorgeous colors and accuracy to the edges. A Leica TL reference lens for incredible unobtrusive photography.
The Leica CL
Out of production but absolutely not for sale. Leica just released the SL3 which may replace it. Eventually!
Manfrotto Tripod
A new ( old) Manfrotto tripod is probably my most sensible buy since the last time I did a gear roundup in 2022. This makes my camera equipment rock steady for long exposure photos that often use in product shoots. It’s not exactly lightweight.
The OM1 with the 50mm Olympus Zuiko Lens
The fantastic Olympus OM1. has gone to my daughter. I had shot a few nice shots adapting the lens for my leica Cl . I will probably end up buying a Zuiko 1.8 50mm just to fill that gap.
