and sometimes i just sits » photography by ferraby ling

I rarely shoot close ups nowadays as i much prefer to see the bigger (wider) side of things. It is for this same reason that my telephoto lens (Nikon 100/2.8 E) sees very little use these days. 

When i started getting serious about photography, the aim was to get lenses that can cover from the widest to the longest.
Well, how was i to know – i was still too green to have my picks and preferences. Now that i’ve been doing this for more than a year, i can say for certain that i prefer to see the bigger (wider) side of things – focal lengths 28, 35 & 50mm is home territory for me

P.S. will talk about super-wides (sub 28mm) in the near future.

The Emu Valley Rhododendron Garden is located 6km off Burnie township.

To be honest, i wasn’t expexing much intially – expecting it to be a small little garden
BUT……….
It is HUGE. You can even take an 80 minutes walk within the garden !!! Unfortunately i didn’t have proper shoes on so i only strolled around a little bit. The garden is very well landscaped and pretty. Will definitely return for a more through visit.
