17/11/2011 First Post!

My first post on my first blog! :D
Brief introduction, I am a street photography addict, and also a photo gear nut living in Melbourne Australia, so this blog will mainly about photography and occasionally gear review (when I can afford it :) ). My goal for this blog is to share my photos, what I learnt in photography and of course learn from other photogrpaphers.

I have been trying to use 35mm focal length exclusively for street photography at the moment. I have found it a bit more difficult to compose than the 50mm focal length which I had been using the most. The main difficulty is since its wider, its harder to visiualise the composition before framing, and also I tend to get closer to the subject, and end up lose the surrounding environment.

Anyway here are few street shots taken with 35mm last weekend in Melbourne CBD area. Melbourne is not a huge metropolitan city like Hongkong or Shanghai, so theres alot less things happening, but it does have some interesting achitectures and diversity of people, which makes it an interesting place to live and document, afterall it was voted the most livable city in the world :).

One thing about Melbournions is that they are pretty laid back, and pretty cool about having their photo taken, I haven't been punched up yet :)
