1/80 sec, 150mm, f/2.8, ISO100. Trying out the lens' 70cm minimum focusing distance. Probably should have increased the aperture, but wanted the bokeh instead. I particularly like the purple background due to the sun setting and the shade.
Again, it's been awhile since we last posted. A lot has been happening for us both. Commencement of a new job, far away in Campbelltown (meaning hellishly long 2 hour commutes, one-way), preparing to move to Strathfield and of course, ongoing wedding planning.
One of my aims, when returning to Sydney was to start going on photo walks with friends. And last night it finally happened. Andrew and I drove to Milson's Point, next to Luna Park to take some shots.
It was pretty quiet. Luna Park was open, but we're unsure if the rides actually work or they just use it as a function centre.
And...we're officially starting the touring! Because of the huge number of pictures, I'm splitting this post into two parts.
We arrived in Hiroshima via Willer Express from Osaka late the night before (maybe 11pm-12am ish?) and we had to take a taxi to our backpacker accommodation because all the trams had stopped running for the night. Luckily we had the address of the place in our emails because I don't think the driver knew what J-Hoppers was. We originally wanted to try to walk to the hostel but Google maps told us it was 45 minutes away on foot. Or something like that so we decided to splurge on the taxi :P
So it's Sunday Heyday again and this week I've decided to dig up a treasure from my 6 month Asia travels with Martina. As the title suggests, it's about turtles on Selingan Turtle Island, Sabah Malaysia. 1 hour boat ride north of Sandakan. This blog post is about our 1 day and 1 night stay on the island and a beautiful and exclusive moment with a turtle mother.
This post marks the start of "Sunday Heyday" blog posts. I'm hoping this will continue as a weekly affair for as long as I can keep it up. I was initially thinking of calling it "Sunday Funday", but thought it was an overused catchphrase. Hope it catches on ;)
