And I say black and white is part of the colour spectrum….no? =D
Been preoccupied with something else so my blog has been kinda neglected over the past weeks. Hopefully I can get back to more regular updates soon.

3 Cape Barren Goose on Maria Island.
The overall colour of the picture is  very ‘pastel-like’ which I find is fairly characteristic of Tasmanian landscapes.

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.

My Leica MP and 50mm Summicron in a Zhou’s half case @ Delish Fine Foods.
……. and of course the latte =D

On a side note, i have exams (hate!!!) coming in a few weeks time!! So updates might be a bit erratic and less frequent.
Also, i am very very close to developing my own negatives. After much consideration and deliberation, i’ve settled on Kodak Tri-X  and D76 as my film and developer combination. How exciting!! Should be able to ‘soup’ my first test roll after the bloody exam.

Just got my first roll of Fuji Pro 800Z developed yesterday and i must say that i am more than pleased with the result.

LOVE  THE  GRAINS  !!! 

Also, being ISO800, it gave me a few more hours of shooting time which was fun.
(I have Fujipress 1600 in my fridge that i am dying to try!)
