Beau­ti­ful weather in Hobart today if only it was like this every day..

Back­yard with the Canon 50mm 1.4

I could write a really cliché title and descrip­tion but I hate it when peo­ple dribble.

Some­thing com­pletely dif­fer­ent, a can­did shot from a fam­ily bbq cap­tured with a newly acquired Canon 50 1.4.

Some­thing a lit­tle dif­fer­ent

Pok­ing around in the back­yard on a nice sunny after­noon with the Canon 24–70.

This was right before I dropped my 50mm 1.8 arg! Fun lens too.

I can’t believe the year is almost over.. Here are some of my favourite pho­tos from 2008

To start is two pho­tographs from an aban­doned men­tal hos­pi­tal with the Canon 10–22. These were taken at the begin­ning of the year which feels ages ago.

I hope you have enjoyed my pho­tographs from this year, I appre­ci­ate your sup­port and wish you a good 2009.

I think he missed some..

Mess­ing around with the Canon 24–70 2.8 L.

Another final shot with my Canon 50 1.8 (nifty fifty) before it broke, argh. Cap­tured in Sandy Bay, Tas­ma­nia along a busy stretch of road dur­ing a quick break at uni. I really love play­ing with auto focus points (Click for the con­fused) with the nifty fifty as I use it some­what dif­fer­ently to if I was shoot­ing landscacpe.

Flower phase over for a while haha back to nature photography

Taken on a quick break dur­ing lec­tures at uni today in Sandy Bay, Tas­ma­nia. I noticed these flow­ers as I was trav­el­ling home yes­ter­day from uni and per­haps it may be just me but they reminded me of Japan in some ways with the beau­ti­ful colours they have in dif­fer­ent seasons.

A lit­tle dis­s­a­pointed that I dropped my cam­era just a tiny bit and the Canon 50 1.8 now has focus issues. Four­tu­nately it’s a cheap lens to replace but still bit of a downer argh fun lens too! I recomend it for every­ones kit.

It’s so cold at the moment, 7 degrees for most of the day until it warms to a scorch­ing 10 degrees. To keep warm I love my daily fix of cof­fee as I read of the prob­lems encoutered by less devel­oped coun­tries who receive haz­ardous waste for quick finan­cial gains. The read­ing is not by choice but for an essay but four­tu­nately it’s not too bor­ing as my playlist of down­tempo music like tosca, kruder & dorfmeis­ter and blah adds a nice back­ground tune.

This was shot with my Canon 350D, Canon 50 1.8 (nifty fifty) of a Ran­cilio Sil­via espresso machine with freshly ground indone­sian beans.

Any Aus­tralian stu­dent read­ers may be inter­ested in this web­site which offers dis­counted mag­a­zine sub­scrip­tions. I’m decid­ing whether to sub­scribe to the econ­o­mist at the moment, deci­sions.. (Click)
