City Saturdays
Just a regular breakfast, bridge, city, street kinda day with Simon and Hannah.
Mount Mitchell (South Peak)
This weekend seems to have been about climbing mountains. I bought some new hiking shoes yesterday and on a whim decided to drive out to Cunningham's Gap again and hike up Mount Mitchell on the south side of the highway.
Mount Cordeaux (North Peak)
This morning I left home at 4am with the intent of climbing Mount Cordeaux to the main lookout, about 1,100 metres above sea level. To my surprise I met another photographer named Fred McKie, who does anything from commercial photography to architecture, lifestyle and landscapes.
We both ended up walking the extra 30 minutes to Bare Rock north along the ridge from Mount Cordeaux lookout.
ALC Meet Up
Had breakfast at Blackstar with Simon, Hannah, Alex, Cameron, Rhys, Tyler and Fiona this morning then wandered into the city.
Tinkering with the Leica Q
I met up with Simon and Hannah. Simon just bought the Leica Q 28mm fixed focal length camera. It is fantastic, and I sincerely hope Leica releases a 35mm version. These aren't actually from the camera, though.
Photography Revolves Around Breakfast & Lunch
Met up with Simon and Hannah in West End for breakfast then wandered into the city.
Melbourne Part 4
After seeing the Shrine of Remembrance, we headed back through the city to the hotel, stopping for soup at The Soup Place (Degraves St) and hot chocolate at Koko Black. I had a stunning sunset flight home to Brisbane.
Melbourne Part 3
We turned around after dinner at Split Point, where the lighthouse is. They filmed the classic Australian TV show "Round The Twist" here. Then Hannah, Simon and I wandered Melbourne on my third and last day. I managed to get a few good street photographs in. More photos to come.
Melbourne Part 2
We stopped at Torquay and Anglesea along the Great Ocean Road, then had wood-fired pizza and dessert at Split Point before heading back to Melbourne that night. These are from the earlier portion of the trip.
Melbourne Part 1
I booked flights to Melbourne this year on a whim without any actual plans. What came together was one of my favourite weekends down there so far. I was still relatively sick with a cold on the first day so I wandered around, caught up with a friend then went back and slept the night off.
The next day I caught up with Genevieve and her friends before heading down the Great Ocean Road for a short road trip with Connor, Simon, Hannah and Lana. It was wild and raining at times but beautiful. The next post will have more of that.
Portrait of Hannah
Just a simple portrait of Hannah at work today.
West End City Walks
Breakfast at Blackstar with Simon and Hannah with a walk through South Bank into the city.
ALC Meetup
We had an ALC meet up today then wandered over to the West End markets.
Killing Time in the City
What a gorgeous day to hang out in the city. Thanks to Simon for the portrait.
New approach to my VSCO Grid →
I've begun a new VSCO Grid with pictures taken from my iPhone mainly with the C8 filter and in portrait orientation.
