Cafe

A bit funky and metallic feel.

Pink

Some ugly tram track bokeh in the lower portion of the frame.

6 Feet

Four Wheelie frame provides dynamic balance control. This view has an impact on me.

Group meet

The group meet was rather interesting. Some nice art work on display.

Lebanese food, Doncaster, Melbourne

This was a dish that really got my attention in this lebanese restaurant, Dunyazad. Really sour and spicy at the same time.

Brunch before work

A quick snack never hurts :)

Swanston Street, Melbourne, Australia

On Swanston street, there is always so much I could photograph. Everyone has a world of their own.

Run to induce endogenous endorphin!

A good habit to run every morning. I wished I could do the same and keep it up. In the winter times. it is just hard to bare any skin to run. 

Running exerts 10 times more force on our bones comparing to normal day to day walking. That is called weight bearing exercises to keep our bones strong.

This was captured on south bank. With 50mm f1.2 lens.

Outside Queen Victoria Market, Melbourne, Australia

Outside Queen Victoria market, it was fun to capture this moment: one lady yawning so badly while a man was eating the sausage roll. What a glimpse of modern civilisation!

Lord of Ring experience?

On the Princess Bridge - south of Flinders station, Melbourne, he is a common sight. The music he played was often masked by the wheels... 

Still he added the colour to my trip to the city every time. :)

Port Fairy, Victoria, Australia

I recalled this place being really wonderful: the end of drive of great ocean road, Victoria, Australia. This is the nearest spot before reaching Warrnambool - the city that I might work in the following year. 

The water here looks so tranquil and peaceful. In fact, there is all deadly rifts underneath. Still with this wonderful cover of magic hour lighting.

Really cyan blue everywhere I see. This was really a moment.

Glass bokeh

This is a photograph of the handle at the front entrance of Gothic style cathedral near Melbourne CBD. Somehow the day light was dull and there were no many interesting themes in the city streets.

So f1.2 aperture wide open with Nikor 50mm. Surprisingly the rear bokeh is supposed to be harsh and ugly. The result was acceptable.

Leica 50mm R f2 textures

Leica 50mm. The dream lens. 

The details in the shadow are recoverable. The texture on his skin is well preserved. The feel of pop is very prominent. A lens that is reliable and consistent for day to day snaps.

Banana man

Look at the skin texture and the hair on the arm.

Dont you just love 50mm :)

Chairs in Forbidden city

The chair does make a good subject to view. The bokeh is quite creamy.

Winter food

Main course at Enoteca

Fire Ball

The fireball and dragon foot. This is to cast enemy away.

Old time work

This was a photo that took a youthful me to get that acidic metallic look. Back then, the effects were not readily available.

Looking at the old photo I used to be frankly crazy with. I admired the old me :)

Moreton Bay Bug Rissoto

This was the entree I tried in Richmond on Enotecca - one hat restaurant. 

Extremely salty. Lobster was no where to be seen. Yet the texture was similar to baby vomitus.

God bless

Quail smoked and onion boiled
