/ Jacky Cheung / Leave a comment

Hi Folks … here is my daily updates of the Melbourne trip.

Due to the excessive driving and late night updating photos (…excuses), I have snoozed in until midday today … Melbourne STYLE!

Wandering around town and dropped by this awesome cafe tucked inside a South Melbourne laneway – Chez Dre. It is a French inspired cafe, food is top notch and the atmosphere is even better! Would definitely recommend!

Not too many photos today, but I have visited a very unique spot for some sunset photos. Continue reading →

Evening folks… it’s 1.44am now and I have just came back to the hotel not long ago… (well … not really… I have finished all the editing already… just for all of you!)

I haven’t been to the Great Ocean Road for nearly 9 years now … it is still the same! Still so breath taking!!! I have always loved this coastal drive and couldn’t find anything like this to match in Sydney today.

Just like yesterday… the travel blog bit will come later, but promised you that I will bring you all photos first! Continue reading →

Spring is coming … with some beautiful Cherry Blossom.

This is probably the first time that I took Miss X-T1 out for a day shoot, I must say, I am in love with her more and more after today.

Auburn Botanic Gardens have this specific Japanese Gardens with traditional Japanese set out and planted heaps of Cherry Blossom trees. The event itself runs for 2 weekends and today is the last day. These 2 weekends are filled with fun and activities for those that visit the gardens, from martial arts demonstration to Continue reading →

Mr Postman is the Santa for me today! Just received some goodies for my XT-1 this morning from Korea!

Gariz – a boutique camera accessories brand from the land of Asian fashion capital, Korea (arguably). I took notice of this brand since my DSLR days, but have not tried any of their product until now. Gariz, named after it’s Chief Designer’s name Gary. They are running this “Mirrorless Project” to design products for different mirrorless cameras.

DSCF2304Let’s starts with the half case, tailor made for the X-T1. It comes in a very cool box and a protective pouch.  I have chosen
the brown colour case to match the retro feels of Miss XT-1. Genuine leather has been used throughout with a metal base plate that lock onto the camera via the tripod mount. Continue reading →

My “non-expert” review of Fujifilm X-T1

/ Jacky Cheung / Leave a comment

Okay folks… as per my promise from the previous blog post, here is my “non-expert” review of the mighty Fujifilm X-T1. When I said “non-expert”, I really mean it. The camera is not the newest out there, and with a simple google search, you can found millions of expert reviews that wrote in any languages you want. I won’t bog down in technical details too much neither, not that they are not important, but I believe if you Continue reading →
