I have a camera showdown planned for March, when we go to Byron Bay to shoot the surfers. I want to put our Canon cameras and lenses against the Sony A6000. The idea is not to compare image quality or anything like that, but how they perform photographing sports at long distance.
One of the things we didn’t get to see in our trip to USA was a sunflower field. Back in Australia, Roberta found out that there are a few in Queensland. So we did a quick research and went for a drive to the Queensland countryside.
Note: the photos in this post will have a caption with the camera and settings used. The reason for that is I got myself a little Sony A6000 but also took my Canon 5D III (with the 85mm f1.2 only) and you can see the difference between the cameras and lenses. Soon enough I will have a post about that.
Back in Australia, it’s time to go back to normal life. But normal life is also good 🙂
Roberta found out about the LEGO Brickman Experience exhibition on Brisbane Convention & Exhibition Centre, so there we went.
The North Shore of Oahu was the last part of our holidays. We added Hawaii to our trip so we could rest up in good weather before coming back to Brisbane’s summer, and also because we love to shoot the surf.
We left New York City to Fairbanks, Alaska. Our main reason to go there was to see the Northern Lights again. Unfortunately, it was snowing the whole time and the Aurora activity was not that strong, so no lights for us.
Also happening in New York while we were there was the Star Wars and the Power of Costume Exhibition. It was literally 5 minutes walk from where we were staying, so we couldn’t miss it.
Sometimes we get lucky. A week before flying to the USA, we found out about a free event in Brooklyn about the Sony A7 lineup hosted by Focus with Dani Diamond and Tony Gale talking about some stuff. We signed up for it straight away! We are huge fans of Dani’s work and we were very happy to be able to attend and meet him. Tony was a good surprise, very nice guy and super talented photographer.
