One of the great perks of my job is travel. Recently I was at rural Martinborough in the Wairarapa region for a couple of days. It was a great chance to take my camera and potter about a little. Single camera and lens for the trip – the Fuji X-T30ii with Viltrox 23mm f1.4. It…

Early summer
The temperature has hit 20c and it’s a clear day. Perfect for a lunch time walk. It was a good opportunity to try out a cheap plasticky zoom lens Fuji XC 15-45 mm on the X-T30 II. I noticed that I pretty much took most of the photos at either 15 mm or 45 mm….
Spring colours
That bright round yellow thing has been making an appearance in the Wellington sky recently. Even the antarctic breeze seems to have died down last few days. A few photo taken to reflect the change in colours that we’re seeing.
Old and New
Kuala Lumpur is a city in the middle of a rainforest with a combination of old charm and modern largesse. These snapped with the Fuji X-T30ii with primarily Viltrox 23mm AF 1.4 and Classic Negative film simulation. The lens wasn’t quite wide enough to take the photos of Petronas Towers, where I literally had to…
City of temples
A few photos from my current trip to Kuala Lumpur and surroundings. Amazing mix of cultures here, including many temples and mosques. Here’s a collection, taken with Fujifilm X-T30 ii with Viltrox 23mm F1.4.
Winter is here
We’ve had a really mild winter and finally the biting cold is here. So I though I’ll take the opportunity to take some snaps at lunch time using some Fuji like simulations I had found on Youtube. Today was actually much better than yesterday, so don’t think the mood quite came through. Images taken using…
Gear envy
I’ve owned a DSLR for 20 years. However, as the phone cameras have got better, I had almost totally stopped taking that out with me, just to avoid the bulk. A couple of years ago, I got a Sony A6400 as the compact mirrorless cameras made taking one along more palatable. I do a lot…
City in transition
Late night stroll around central Auckland. Noticeable that the city is a combination of old historical buildings, new builds, hosting the FIFA Women’s World Cup, and a bit of a construction dump with the City Rail Loop. Took some abuse from an aggressive guy on the streets that didn’t seem to appreciate me walking around…
Lonely Christchurch
Captured with Sony a6400 APS-C camera with Sigma 56mm DCDN lens on a cold Christchurch evening. I used to come to Christchurch every second week when I was consulting with the Canterbury Earthquake Recovery Authority. It is great to see all the new facilities. However, it was quite noticeable that there was hardly anyone in…
Little India
Taken using Sony a6400 with Sigma 30mm F1.4 DCDN lens. Taken at Serangoon, in Little India quarter of Singapore on 17 September 2023.
