Birrarung Marr Carnival for Melbourne Street Signs

 

My recent photo series included many candid shots, with various signs appearing in the frames. It was an enjoyable challenge to limit myself to just a 35mm f/1.4 lens. Despite the constraints, it required creative thinking to capture unique moments.

On Christmas Day, Joel and I are planning to visit an inland area to fly our drone, after enjoying some festive feasting with family, of course. I've noticed that there aren't many photography lenses on sale this year, so it's probably wise to save the money for next year.

I hope you have a wonderful holiday season and enjoy your photography adventures!

Melbourne Night at Birrarung Marr

 

Just too many people in the city. After that long gig 2 nights ago, I am binge watching Lord of the Rings on Netflix instead. Such a tragic story to watch.

Miss Batterham Bendigo for Treasure Tuesday

 

Cold winter in Bendigo increases my appetite

The place offers tasting menu less than 500 metres from where I live. A french set for 75 AUD. Not bad. It comes with free house Redwine pinot

Last few weekends have been plagued by torrential rain and rather cold temperature. Finally Joel and I were aiming to go to Lego festival in Ascot Vale on Saturday. Then Joel ended up vomiting in his car on the way to the exhibition. So we had to cancel it in the end. He is trying to wean his antidepressant down going through withdrawal

I also heard that a lot of people said they want to make "dent" in universe? What the heck does that mean?

Little Lonsdale St Signs for Sign2

 

Last Friday, I decided to take a photowalk in CBD again. I can take away some Japanese Cheese Cake from Uncle Tetsu for mum. She likes it. 

The first shot was nice for a Chinese acupuncture store. 

The 2nd shot does make me think a bit more. A little too much wokism

Their pricing have not changed despite the inflation over the past 4 years. I am very surprised.

Listening to Joel talking about his kids' troubles is a reminder that we all have a story to tell. 

Metal Art Museum in Port Melbourne for Treasure Tuesday

 

This metal art museum is a wonderful exhibition. It features up to 300 metal robots. Some of them are from my childhood Manga memories. Joel and I spent a long time trying to do bokeh shots in there. This place is really reserved for nerds.
