A Long Weekend in Melbourne

Lune, Melbourne

A few weeks ago, I took a Friday off to have a long weekend in Melbourne. It was an awesome weekend of eating and catching up with old friends. Food photography was actually one of the genres I got into when I first picked up a DSLR many many years ago. Melbourne is well known for it’s food and drink culture. So I was not short on opportunities to take photographs of food! In this blog post, I’m sharing some of my favourite photos from my weekend in Melbourne. All my photos were taking with the nimble Fujifilm X-T10 and the 27mm f2.8 pancake lens.

Shooting Sunset Colours at South Perth Foreshore

Yesterday was the first day in few weeks that we’ve had good weather in Perth on the weekend. I headed out to do some solo shooting with the intention of shooting reflections for a photo competition. I was almost joined by a fellow Fuji X Aus Perth shooter. While I didn’t manage to get any decent shots of reflections, I did have a fun time experimenting with my Hoya 10 Stop ND filter. I shot with the Fujifilm X-T10 and the fujinon 18-55mm f2.8-4 lens. My trusty combination when I’m doing any landscape shooting. The 10 stop ND filter allowed me to take Long exposures up to a couple of minutes which meant I could see the cloud and light movements. I shot from when the light was still in the sky to after the sunset when the lights lit up in the city. Despite the freezing cold hands (should have brought my gloves!) I was pretty happy with some of the long exposure shots I got.

Discovering the Margaret River Region

Margaret River region is a popular place to escape for the weekend. For those who know how large the state of Western Australia is, you’ll understanding that the 3 hour drop down south is a short trip! A weekend away in the region usually consist of good food and wine, and hiking or beaching. You really feel like you’ve left the hustle and bustle of the city behind.

We hopped into a car straight after work on Friday afternoon and made it into Margaret River town just in time for a quick dinner. After dinner we settled in for the night at a bed and breakfast 5 minutes away from the town centre.

Luna Park at dusk, Sydney

These are some of my favourite photos from my trip to Sydney last year. It was dusk when we were exploring Luna Park. The light was fading out from the sky as the sun set over the horizon. It made for great photography to have this backdrop behind the bright lights of Luna Park. Photos were taken with the fujifilm X-T10 and the all round zoom the fujinon 18-55mm F/2.8-4.
