How It All Started

Way back in February of 2012 I was about to go on a long, long holiday to New Zealand and Hong Kong. Somehow I decided that it was time I bought a camera so that I could record all the fun times I'd be experiencing. Having had no previous photography experience apart from trying to get an archaic Sony DSC-F828 to do what I wanted (I failed) and "artsy" food shots with the RetroCam app on my Desire HD, I really didn't know what I wanted. 
After some research I decided that a Sony NEX-C3 was the way to go as I wanted the option to change lens without the bulk of a big black DSLR.

Before the trip, I went out with the camera and tried things out. I tested out Aperture and Manual control and by the time the holiday rolled around, I was able to get quite decent photos.
However, as time went on, I realised that the Sony range of lenses weren't the best and I wanted to take my photography to the next level. So naturally I bought a big black DSLR.

A D7000

The D7000 is a sweet thing and I knew I couldn't go wrong after seeing the spectacular images that my friends produced whilst also using D7000s.
Just recently I also added another camera to my collection. The wonderful Olympus OM-D EM-5.

Awesome looking thing

I've started doing more and more photography, both in casual and professional capacities. Working for RailCorp has allowed me opportunities to get out of the office and experience different events and I aim to cover both past and future assignments on this blog. I also bring my cameras to a lot of restaurants and parties and so those will also be covered. I guess I aim to be a bit like Robin Wong's blog in that I'll talk a bit about what I'm covering as well as the challenges of the particular environment. Finally, I hope to present to the reader something different in terms of a photography blog. Something that's not purely street, wedding, landscape, portrait, architecture, HDR, food, etc, etc.

Hopefully you find something you like and stay for the ride!
