Sixteen - Don't do this

This? Shoot a portrait with a really wide lens... Unless you're going for weird distorted facial features.

A coffee drinker, drinking tea, out of a Starbucks mug - What else could go wrong?

Sixteen - The walled city

The development down the street was supposed to be well and truly complete by now, by last year... It's still a big old block of empty mud. The 12' high black fence that runs the length of a block on all sides is testament to over-supply of expensive apartments.

Sixteen - The bag guy

I was speaking to a bloke today about photography. He challenged me to choose a camera, focal length and to take a photo a day for a month. Not only self portraits, but any photo, daily surroundings but push the boundaries. 

I choose 16mm and my Sony a7R Mk2

This is the start of that journey, just because it's late and I'm not going outside in the rain.

Centering thumbnails in SquareSpace

A quick look how to best place your images in your SquareSPace website. Using a 3x3 gallery with a particular crop, in this case 1x1 / square, you need to be able to choose the viewable area of your cropped thumb to make the most impact - the video shows you how to adjust your images, it'd dead easy - drag the little circle to where you think is best, click apply, relax. Hi Ted!

Packing the Yashicaflex in the thinkTank TurnStyle 10

This one's for you, Laviotette!

A quick pack up of the thinkTankPhoto TurnStyle 10 with my Yashicaflex 635, Zeiss Ikon, Sony RX100Mk4, MindShift memory card wallet and my regular wallet (Bellroy) to show it opened and closed. 

See the original thread here

The thinkTank TurnStyle 10 with the Yashicaflex 635 and Zeiss Ikon inside.

For sizing, I've stuck a Zeiss 16-35 f/4.0 on the left, Zeiss Ikon, Yashicaflex 635 as well as Sony RX100Mk4 / Memory Card Wallet (MindShiftGear) and my own wallet in the front. 

Hope this helps some of you that want to pack light with a larger style / format camera and extra bits and pieces.
