I think on a way to lake entrance spotting this gem along the way.
I am shutting down a few clinic commitments since the cost of living crisis. I will use this opportunity to explore other hobbies I have :)

No long exposure here. Just a quick snap that gives a totally different feel from the frame.
I am preparing this post as I had 2 failed to show attendances in my clinic this morning.

Joel works 5 days a week in a senior position of a retail chain. I brought some crispy pork to house during a workday as he works from home. Then I discover that he has yet slept for 48 hours as he is trying to get the server back up for the company. He looks terrible. It reminds me that it is a blessing that I do not need to work everyday anymore.
I discovered an old film photo from Year 9 that Joel and I travelled to Canberra Australia in 1993.
I was pissed off that he couldn't stop playing heavy metal on his Walkman.
This was taken from one of the street candid photo walk. There happened to be a sign. So this will do for the event.
I was lucky to be appointed as a moderator for Bestofglobe-Australia on Instagram. I don't know why I committed myself to this role, but it would be fun to find more like minded in down under.

In the last few weeks, I have been making efforts to take train to CBD doing my photowalk round and street candids. Some murals have been replaced by new ones in AC DC lane.
It was fun to snap murals like social landscape photography. Hoiser Lane is unrecognisable with so much tagging. It is definitely violence to arts.

I was lucky enough to spot it in a casual walk in Mt Baw Baw. Pity it was squatting in the shadow.

Their treasures are the canoes. Every time I walked the lake trail, they often went under the canopy of the trees off the central island. I loved the vibe,

This is a lovely spotting before I visited Wildlife sanctuary in the region. At the time, I was using canon lens converter for Sony A7RIV. Canon lens tends to give yellow cast to the image which is impossible to remove in software.

I realise I love photographing water and street candids. Street candids is an acquired taste due to my association with a former world class street photographer when I was in university years. Water photography on the other hand is a pattern I notice in my portfolio as well.

P.S. I finally received my camera after infra-red filter conversion. After 8 weeks! I will be testing the n520 wavelength filter in street photography tomorrow. Can't wait!

This restaurant is run by a well-known French chef who moved to Australia in 1993. I was stood up by my date on that day. At least, the food was great!
The escargots are just a delight (1st pic). The desert is so creamy and soft to taste.

It was a really low key weekend. Joel and I did not get the skating rink candid as they are all kids. We want to avoid the controversy. So it was just a lovely Italian lunch that we end up reading about climate change being the worst in 2023.

That is a shot I took when I was waiting for Joel to finish his shots. He always takes forever on the prime spot. So I took out my zoom searching for second best views to snap.

I did not wait until the sunset for this shot. The rock is called elephant rock which does not look like it from this angle.

There was this Nikon Guy who tried to stand in front of me while I already set up my tripod in this location. So I had to move forward to get him out of my view. Talking about etiquette

It was really overcast when Joel and I arrived this location on Saturday. We both busted our ankles by tripping on the steep hill down to this rocky area. My thighs are still sore 2 days later. It was a good work out though.
Not feeling so well after getting back to work again. This must be a sign of ageing.

The lips are very thick in this fish. The eyes look possessed too.
