Walking across Brooklyn Bridge was one of the highlights of my trip to New York. I will never forget the sweltering heatwave that day was feeling like we were going to melt while we were in the sun, our friendly Uber driver who was so excited to be taking us to Brooklyn his hometown where he grew up & seeing in the far distance storm clouds brewing and having our fingers crossed it might just rain to give us a break from the heat! Afterwards, we made our way to Soho where we spent the rest of our afternoon exploring and shopping.

We got dropped off by our Bber to the markets to try umami noodle burgers, only to realise the markets weren't open when we got there. We ended up spending some time at the nearby park instead trying to figure out where to go next while also being slightly disappointed - we missed out on noodle burgers!!

Walking across Brooklyn Bridge was one of the highlights of my trip - I would love to come back in winter one day!

LUMIX S5II Autumn Portraits in Japan

In November, I was invited to Japan by LUMIX to attend the LUMIX Global Summit for the announcement of the new LUMIX S5II. Paired with the new camera body and an array of lenses, Dan and I took to the streets of Tokyo, Japan to film our review video of the camera body.

LUMIX S5 Street Photography, Japan

In November, I was invited to Tokyo, Japan by LUMIX to attend the LUMIX Global Summit. They didn't tell me what was going to be announced, but I was very excited to find out because it sounded like it was going to be something big. On the morning of the event, I met Pav and we went for a little photo walk around the streets of our hotel. For this trip, I decided to bring the LUMIX S5 with me to test it out for photo and video.

LUMIX S5 Autumn Portraits and Exploring Tokyo

In November, I was invited to Japan by LUMIX to attend the LUMIX Global Summit for the announcement of something new. I left Sydney with Dan, Aaron and Simon in the evening and we landed in Toyko, Japan the next morning. We were all a little tired from the overnight flight, but we decided to head out and explore Tokyo since we had a free day before the event.

Lake Gosau, Austria with the Sony A7IV + GM 35mm f1.4

We set off the loop walk around the lake and it was such a stunning stroll. I loved every minute of it and kept stopping to take photos. I was contemplating coming here for sunrise but I'm happy we visited in the afternoon. The second half of the lake was all backlit and I captured some of my favourite photos where you can see the moon plus the jagged peaks of the mountains. Austria is SO incredible!

Sunset in Hallstatt, Austria

It's been a long day starting at 4am for sunrise landscape photography, then a trip to Lake Gousau and finally a stop in the town of Hallstatt. I have visited Hallstatt a few years ago during the spring. It's strange on that trip I was wearing a thick turtle neck jumper and on this trip just a light dress!

Moon photography in Purgg, Austria

As I was getting ready to go to bed for a sunrise start the next day, I noticed the moon outside our bathroom window. It was in a crescent shape during blue hour and headed towards the jagged mountain peak. Dan quickly set up the tripod for a timelapse while I snapped a few photos. I started with a closeup shot of the moon with my 200-600mm f5.6-6.3 OSS lens.

Wide angle VS Telephoto Lens for Landscape Photography in Austria

I set my alarm for 4am, Dan and I hopped in the car while it was still dark and drove to our first location. We had scouted a couple of sunrise spots the day before. This spot was a nothing place - not a landmark or a viewpoint. It was by a little carpark for an army base just off the side of the road.

Prague on 35mm Film

This is the last part of my mammoth blog series from my time in Prague, Czech Republic. I have recently been loving shooting on 35mm film again, specifically with point and shoot cameras. I brought the Contax T2 and Olympus Mju-ii with me on this trip and I used both those cameras to take the photos in this blog post. I used 2 film stocks including Fujifilm C200 in the Mju-ii and Portra 160 in the Contax.
