Nikkor 50mm 1.4 AIS.
I love it so much i took some pictures of it.






I donโt need a miracle… I just need some church puns to make my day
This place (Church of the Good Shepherd in New Zealand) was a tough one to shoot on this evening, bland sky, windy, tourists everywhere and ugly fence to boot.
I am proud to say tho, i only cloned out two things, a plastic yellow A-frame sign and a tiny bit of the fence down the bottom right which I could not composition out. This was taken up on the path above the entrance to the church to get a high viewpoint to avoid the fence…

Donโt just survive, thrive like a tiger.



I picked up a really nice old manual focus 50mm 1.4 at the Sydney camera market, my kids are really disappointed now since that means more portraits ๐
goes a bit like this.. ‘are we done yet dad ?’
me “no, just trying get the focus right’
20 shots later and I get a half decent expression without a finger or tongue pointed at me

I joined Philomena Kaarma Wijsman and Matt Kaarma to do some street photography around the CBD, I had forgotten how enjoyable this can be.
A few shots form the upper portion of the metro train station.
All taken with a fav old lens, the 135mm f2.8 AIS – great to still be able to use these old lens and made so much easier with newer cameras with the ease at which you can focus them with peak focusing.









Some cool artwork commissioned as part of the west connex roads.
