Photo Diary
It is so good to revisit old photos looking for interesting signs that I would never have thought of posting. This was one of the famous bronze pig statues in Segovia Spain.
The town is renowned for a chef that roasted the best suckling pig in Spain chef competition of some sort.

Melbourne Council at night - same light projection for 5 years in a row - we need innovation!
Hectic last few days - getting my skin spot biopsied, running mum's appointments, getting my supply to live through the remote Australia town this Xmas and New Year

I remembered walking through this place in awe. They are all pictures of saints I believe.

This was taken from a few years ago. The mural in the past looks better than what is available on offer.
Really excited to get my hands on Sony A7RV by this weekend. More sunset and long exposure at the coast lol

Royal Alcázar of Seville was one of the places when I travelled in Spain. Love the facade.

When I was taking a day walking in the streets of Barcelona, I spotted this. Apparently there are many similar sightings around Europe.

Love the mist and the light and the fresh air. Best to detox from the mundane life.

I ended up doing most candid street photography in Melbourne CBD over the past 3 days. Funny it really feels great! I will add them to the queue in my other blog Melbourne Street Photography
Sorry about late response to all the comments. I was held up in 3 consecutive days of conference in CBD.
This pic was taken when I had to detour due to shut roads all around country Victoria.

This is a well-known mural in Melbourne CBD. A fitting message actually. Some people even do lots of reflection photo of this mural in the puddle too.

This is a scene that reminds of the "No Face" in game of throne series. The spotlight happens to shine on the mask which is kind of spooky.
I was on the mission to get some street candids. Then an unexpected view turned up.

Iconic waterfall in Grampians National Park is becoming busier as time goes by. The place might turn into a shopping mall soon.

Well, that big rock was meant to be my focus of the day for an ultra long exposure. I misread the tides that it was actually a high tide instead of a low one. So I walked to the deck for a timely sunset. The couple was already there trying to suck on each other's tongue.
So a snap

A while back, I was organising my albums. I came across the images I once tried so hard in capturing them. Funny how mood has changed over time that I even forgot about it.
Sipping my Latte while writing this post. It does feel right in winter Melbourne.

Cost of living went up. I am trying to get some photos to farmer's markets near my home in country Victoria. I came across this one. So I put it up here since I already made the effort of finding it lol

Lately, I have tried to reorganise some previous travel photos that I have yet properly catalogued. Among them, I spot this whole album of this waterfall in Japan. It is considered as the tallest single span cascade fall in the country. Well, one of friends said to me, "What Fuk u Roda waterfall are you talking about, James?" That is what boys do in a group bantering on innuendo.
As a tourist, it is a great effort to change transport from bullet train to subway, railway, local tram, then buses. In the end, I got lost. I hired a local taxi to bring me to the mountain foothold in the end. Crazy.

I prefer microfourthirds camera on long trips or overseas travel. Just lighter weight and reliable quality.
This is probably one of the most photographed waterfall in my home state. Everyone has to get a shot of this location before they die.
I have been here since the high school days. A lot of memory here. Now there are far too many kids and photographers that the natural vibe is forever lost.
The shot is more high key because microfourthirds sensor easily get blown highlights. Taking the waterfall shot requires a homogenous lighting that one should only attempt in early morning or late evening time. I am lazy lol. So a high key conversion.

This was taken on a trip to North Hot Spring few hours of train from Tokyo. The place is packed by people. The hike is quite laborious too. The scenery is not bad for the entire journey though.
