What the bokeh?!... @sigmaphotoaustralia Melbourne Photowalk 03/03/23 Starting this series with some of my favourite photos of the night. Since this was my first photowalk I did not know what to expect and what I was met with was @sigmaphotoaustralia getting together a group of amazing people for an awesome night out.  One of the highlights was the chance to try out different lenses. Thank you to the guy who let me borrow his Viltrox 56mm F1.4 I was finally able to experience the world beyond F2 and, wow, this lens is amazing! The sharpness and bokeh just made me grin in amazement. Now, will I go out and buy one? Which brand should I go with?

Is it a bird? Yes, it’s a bird… After getting my hands on a zoom lens with greater reach than what the basic kit copuld achieve, I finally try my hands on some wildlife shots without scaring them off the animal. While there wasn’t much around that day and looking back my settings weren’t quite right, I managed to take this ‘nice enough’ shot of a New Holland Honeyeater. #choigraphy #fujifilm #xt3 #justgoshoot #thisweekoninstagram #agameoftones #newhollandhoneyeater #dandenongbotanicalgarden #wildlifephotography #olinda (at Dandenong Ranges Botanic Garden) https://www.instagram.com/p/CoTniPvpIi4/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Nice to meet you, my name is Miffy… I found this nice Japanese homeware shop @minimaru.home while visiting a café nearby which my friend recommended. The shop had a contemporary/traditional hybrid vibe and it was cool to browse around the various products they had to offer. Especially this Miffy lamp display that was the centrepiece of the store. It’s not every day you see a giant Miffy chillin’ at a table with a smaller one. 📷 1: Edit / 2: Original #choigraphy #fujifilm #xt3 #justgoshoot #thisweekoninstagram #agameoftones #minimaru #mrmaria #miffy #japanesehomeware (at Minimaru) https://www.instagram.com/p/ClLId-4Lgs2/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Spring shower with a splash of ice... In classic Melbourne weather, it decided to have a sudden downpour of hail in Spring. Also, a great opportunity to test out my macro extension tube and get some nice close-up shots. 📷 1: Edit / 2: Original #choigraphy #fujifilm #xt3 #justgoshoot #thisweekoninstagram #agameoftones #hail #spring #macrophotography #melbourneweather https://www.instagram.com/p/CkmwprMJgOX/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
