Modern sun worshipping in Paradise. In the OLDEN DAYS it was a good book, today it’s a SMARTPHONE. Not to sure if it’s an improvement to the experience. Paradise = Urunga AU. X100F
Morning coffee with flowers. Everyone needs a quiet time to meditate. Playing with the Fujifilm XPRO2 & Fujinon XF 35mm f1.4 Lens
A typical summer Saturday morning in most Australian beachside towns. Baby lifesavers ( Nippers ) training with lots of parental help. Woolgoolga NSW beach. Fujifilm XPRO2 & Fujinon 50mm f2 lens.
Trees can grow anywhere. Even on the side of a hill overlooking a watercourse near EBOR , NSW Australia. Taken with the ever reliable Fujifilm XPRO2 & Fujinon 50 mm XF f/2 lens. Used Lightroom mobile then Snapseed on IPAD.
A random image using The XPRO2 & Fujinon 23mm WR Lens taken when a little shutter therapy was needed.
What’s not to like about living in Paradise on a fine winters morning on Hungry Head Beach. Using the Fujifilm xpro2 & Fujinon 50mm WR lens.
Two working dogs moving a mob of first cross ewes with lambs in the Central West Of NSW. This part of the country is in a deep drought. Rain is desperately needed.
A girl fighting a rather large bull at the Bellingen Show. She was winning 😎. An image taken with the Fujifilm Xpro1 & the Fujinon 18mm Lens, even though it been around for awhile it still goes a fantastic job.
Anzac Day in Bellingen. A very good turnout but veterans are ageing and who knows what the future holds. A lot of young people lining the street to watch. Used my XPRO2, it does a marvellous job.
An afternoon visiting friends who must have the best lounge room view in the world. Kalang Valley half an hours drive from Bellingen. Used the Fujifilm XPRO-2 & my new Fujinon 50mm f2 Lens
I had a great family morning at the Coffs Harbourside Markets. Fine sunny weather, lots of interesting people, stalls & entertainment. Right next to the water and the Coffs Harbour Jetty and Marina. On every Sunday weather permitting. Used the little Somy RX100iii to great effect. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED, well worth a visit.
The Burren Junction Hotel. A image from my trip to the Central West of NSW. Big flat country, cotton country, cattle and grain. The people are friendly and warm. Friday night at the Junction is recommended. Using the Fujifilm XPRO2 & the Fujinon 35mm f/1.4 Lens
This elderly gentleman ( and his wife ) look after 3 of these little dogs. If you were reincarnated as one of their dogs you could do worse. I see them regularly when I am having my morning coffee. Using the the Fujifilm xpro2 and the fujinon 23 f/2 Lens.
An interesting old building. Seen in Wee Waa a nice little town in the Naomi Valley cotton country. Small but very neat and tidy with some really nice old homes. Using the XPRO2 & the 23mm f/2 Lens
Stock on the LONG PADDOCK in the need of a good feed. It shows how serious things are when you pass hundreds of cattle walking the stock routes because their home property if in the grip of drought. Just walking the stock routes trying to find feed. #fujifilmxpro2 #fujinon23mm
On my road trip to the western part of NSW the country is really dry. Some area are desperate. This image taken with my iPhone 8+ shows bare dirt near Dubbo. The iPhone 8+ is a pretty good camera when you don’t have a camera. #dubbo #drought #centralwest #iphone8+#failed_hippy
Visited the Magnolia Cafe in Dubbo for the morning coffee. Great little relaxing cafe ☕️😎
A nice walk in the wetlands. If you need to find a place to let stress, pressure, craziness of today’s world this is it. 😎
Bellingen Community Markets. A great market to just wander, grab a coffee or food & plenty of stalls selling all kinds of things. Using the Fiji XPRO2 & 23mm f/2lens. My new toy. 😁
Overcast afternoon, the local seagulls being extremely optimistic that they might get a feed of leftovers. Still using the Fujifilm XPRO2 with the 23mm f/2 Lens.
