Photographer in Perth, Western Australia

While walking in Bateman a few days ago, I spotted a park with pleasant rows of red-flowered coral trees, and decided that I must revisit it in the next few days. This afternoon, probably a couple of hours before sunset, I made it back. The light was not as golden as I had hoped it… Continue reading Crimson flowers in winter
In many Asian martial art systems, particularly those from the easternmost countries, a belt forms part of the uniform worn during training. Often, the colour of the belt denotes the rank the wearer holds within that system, with rank generally reflecting technical proficiency or expertise. The founder of Judo, Jigoro Kano, introduced this practice to… Continue reading Kataaro deluxe brushed cotton black belt
For today only, Camera Electronic is offering to match Nikon’s cash back offers on selected equipment, effectively making it a double cash back. If you have been waiting for good prices on Nikon equipment, take a look today.
Nikon appears to be offering cash back on various pieces of photographic equipment through December 2018 and January 2019. As of this afternoon, bonuses range from $100 to $350 back for selected DSLR bodies and from $50 to $500 back for selected lenses. Camera Electronic has released a list with the items available from them,… Continue reading Nikon cash back offers from December 2018
Nikon recently announced its new Z system, a high-end consumer mirrorless camera system. I haven’t read through any of the many on-line commentaries in depth, but I’ll comment on a few things in the announcement that stood out in my mind. The Z system is a “full-frame, Nikon FX format” system, so it will have… Continue reading Nikon Z announced
A week ago, Nikon announced its new D850 camera body. I haven’t taken a look at the technical specifications or studied any commentaries in detail yet, but initially there seemed to be little that was exciting about this new camera. Of course, it has a better, higher-resolution sensor than its predecessor (the Nikon D810) and… Continue reading Nikon D850 viewfinder
Camera Electronic is having a sale to celebrate Nikon’s 100th anniversary. The sale apparently lasts for 100 hours, and they are offering 15% off the price of most (or perhaps all) Nikon equipment. This could be well worth a look, if you are a Nikon shooter.
Last month, Nikon introduced its new mid-range D7500 camera body. This is the latest in the line that extends back to the Nikon D70. The D7500 uses the same sensor as the more expensive D500. Viewfinder coverage: approx. 100% of image frame (0.63x magnification relative to full frame). Autofocus (AF) points: 51 (15 cross type). Base sensitivity range: ISO… Continue reading Nikon D7500
Camera Electronic is currently advertising double cash back offers on selected Nikon bodies, lenses, and kits. Some of these are not particularly good value, in my view—for example, the latest Nikkor 70–200 mm f/2.8 zoom lens still costs more than $3,000 after cash back. Most of the offers seem reasonable, if you have had some specific… Continue reading Nikon double cash back offers in April 2017
First Tae Kwon Do held a special grading examination in Perth recently, with one candidate undergoing the test for 1st Dan black belt. Following a rigorous programme of breaking, sparring, patterns, and self-defence techniques, she was promoted by Master Vernon Low. For the photographs above, I shot with my Nikon D700 and Nikkor 70–200 mm f/2.8… Continue reading February 2017 action
