Perth
In today’s issue of The West Australian, Harvey Norman has advertised the Canon EOS 1200D with 18–55 mm kit lens for $338. This is some $200 off the regular price (roughly 35% off), and is probably the lowest price I’ve seen for a DSLR kit yet.

You’ll find memorials of a similar nature, if not on the same scale, throughout… Continue reading ANZAC Day 2015

This is $100 to $200 cheaper than most other major retailers in Perth currently. The 7D Mk II is one of the two main bodies I’d currently recommend for… Continue reading Canon EOS 7D Mark II on special
Welcome to my photography weblog. I’ve created this website to reflect on and share what I’ve learned on my journey so far as an amateur photographer. Much of what I know comes from reading about the experiences of expert photographers, and I hope that others will be able to benefit from me in a similar way. Initially, I’ll concentrate… Continue reading Welcome
