This blog entry is a continuation from recent post about my short trip to Perth, Western Australia. Every time I made a visit back to Perth (5 visits now, since I left in 2008), I cannot help but feel a tinge of regret. What if I have done things a little differently back then, what if I took more chances, what if I was more courageous and braved my way through all the challenges. Perth will always have a special place

It has been a while since I last caught up with my friends Jackie and Jaslyn and we made a last minute deicision to have a Sunday Brunch. We went to the new (well, new to me, it was my first time here after the relocation from Publika Shopping Mall) Red Bean Bag, which was renowned for their good coffee and Aussie-styled brunch menu. The new location looked much bigger and the menu has mutated since the last time I ate

For the longest time I have been complaining about how the newer budget 50mm prime options (from many third-party manufacturers) are made unnecessarily large in size. Kudos to Viltrox for breaking this mold, finally, we have a compact sized, yet highly capable 50mm prime priced in the budget category!

I went on a short holiday to Perth, Western Australia last week, mainly just to have a quick break and an escape from my non-stop work schedule. This was a much-needed relaxation and recharge session, so no video-making/YouTube was on the agenda, and certainly photography was not a priority.

I have just returned from a short holiday trip to Perth, Western Australia, and man I have not felt this exhausted in a long time. I feel physically and mentally drained, and I suspect something else could be happening. One day after returning from the trip, I tried making a full video for the YouTube channel. I finished filming the video, and as I was about to start editing the video I was so tired I could not even open my

This blog entry showcases the last of the series of portraits taken during the test of Brightin Star 50mm F0.95 on OM System OM-3. The model was the ever-amazing Lily (IG @lilyayumiii). For the final look, she changed to a more casual looking outfit, and we contrast that faded, pale overall colors against bold, bombastic rainbow themed stairs! Of all the locations we were shooting Lily, this was the most fun to me personally, I enjoy the loud, bright and vivid

Continuing directly from the previous blog entry, this is the second series of portraits taken during the test of Brightin Star 50mm F0.95 on the OM System OM-3 camera. The awesome model Lily (IG @lilyayumiii) was on her second outfit of the day. All images were shot with available, natural light, and it was a cloudy day with the sun light diffused heavily through the clouds, creating soft overall look which was working on our favor for this portrait session. I
