Fringe World Buskers Weekend was a big success. It was the first time they had organised a weekend full of street performers. From comedians and magicians, to musicians and circus stunts. It was another fun and challenging Fringe shoot. The brief of the event shoot was to photograph happy weekenders enjoying the shows. I really enjoyed capturing the emotions of the crowds as well as the performers themselves. We were treated to some really cool shows all for free or for a tip.
Perth Fuji X Aus Photowalk
Back in February, a small group of us from the Fuji X Aus Facebook group met up at Elizabeth Quay for a photowalk. We also had the guys from DigiDirect bring some gear for us to test out, which was good fun. The theme for the day was “make big things look small” which is the current competition in the group. We were split into pairs to roam the city. Coincidentally it was also the Fringe Buskers Weekend in Perth so there were plenty of people and activity around that afternoon. I’ve shared three of my favourite shots of the day in this post. As it was a bit of a competition and prizes were up for grabs courtesy of Fujifilm Australia, it was fun to really challenge myself with the theme. I was pleasantly surprised when I ended up with the shot of the day and walked away with some Fujifilm goodies!
Thanks for stopping by today.

Exploring Thingvellir National Park, Iceland
Þingvellir National Park is a UNESCO world heritage site that is easily accessible from Reykjavik. It’s also known to be part of the “Golden Circle”. A very popular tourist area in Iceland. This national park was the first stop on our first full day in Iceland. We headed out early from our accommodation for our 9am Silfra snorkeling tour.
Silfra is one of the few, if not only, place in the world when you get to swim/snorkel between two tectonic plates. It’s the clearest water in the world, where you visibility is easily 100m deep. Floating/snorkelling between the American and Eurasian continentals plates definitely an experience. Be warned though, the water is absolutely freezing at 2 degrees Celsius. Even the thick dry suit provided by the tour company can’t stop you from feeling cold to the bone. By the time the snorkeling tour ends at the 30 to 40 minute mark, I couldn’t wait to get our of the cold. Getting out of your dry suit with frozen fingers was also quite the feat! The hot chocolate to warm us up at the end of our snorkel was a nice touch though.
Exploring Rekjavik Iceland on foot
Hallgrímskirkja Church, Iceland’s most iconic church
We flew into Iceland from London Heathrow. By the time we got out of the Keflavak airport with our 4WD hire car it was mid afternoon and pouring rain. It took us around 1 hour to get to the capital. The first stop we made was to the iconic Icelandic church. Hallgrímskirkja is a Lutheran church located in Reykjavik, the capital of Iceland.Thankfully the rain had stopped when we got into the city.
