A 3,200km Journey! - Part IV

Next morning after our Ayers Rock climb, we went for the 9.6km base rim walk around Ayers Rock. The walk will display different sites for gathering and hunting of the old Aborigines. The walk was pretty easy, except for the fact that there are no toilets around and the site is sacred! So we cannot pee as we like!

A 3,200km Journey! - Part III

Third part of the trip is the highlight! We are off to Ayers Rock! It's about 6 hours drive from Watarrka National Park towards Uluru. The first sight we caught upon nearing Uluru is something that looks like Ayers Rock! We happily alighted our campervan and took pictures with it. It was only after the trip that I realized that the structure wasn't Ayers Rock. It was Mt. Connor. Hahaha! Thanks to the viewers who viewed my Instagram. They are the ones who corrected me. If not, we'll be so embarrassed telling people that is Ayers Rock. Hahaha!

Mt Connor! 

Note the flat top...

A 3,200km Journey! - Part II

After Erldunda, it was another 270km drive to Watarrka National Park (aka King's Canyon). It was an easy drive, very straight road. The usual activity on-board the campervan was gambling (Big Two and Black Jack) and snacking (Tim Tams, Squirms and Red Rock Deli chips and grain waves!)!

Standard fare on the trip... Gambling and snacks!

Just before we reach our caravan park at Kings Canyon Resort, we were greeted by Kings Canyon on our right. After check in, we parked into our designated slot and it was just nice timing that it was sunset! Our campervan was parked in a slot with a clear front view of Kings Canyon! The sun behind Kings Canyon gave us a spectacle of how beautiful nature can be... I am still missing the sunset... Loving it! Makes me wonder how much more beautiful nature can get elsewhere in this world.

Beautiful!

Digital Street Photography

I've gone around to shoot using the Sony Nex-5N and the Leica Summitar which I have shown some test shots in my previous post. Here are some street shots from me using this combo!

The Stare. This is my favourite from the series! The intensity of the stare was captured at the decisive moment! 

NEX5N and Leica Summitar

Recently acquired a second hand Sony Nex-5N, so decided to do some test shots using a Leica Summitar 50mm F2 Collapsible. Heard that this lens is very sharp even wide open at F2, so decided to test it out. Also not forgetting that this lens give a wild swirly bokeh, so makes me drool even more!

All the cameras! Fall in!

Ok, I've always wanted to do a shot of all my cameras. Should have done so before selling my 60D. After a year, my 60D has to go because it was seriously under-utilized. Since there's still value for it, I might as well sell it off to fund the next camera.
