Photography I Created
- The main camera on iPhones today is a 26mm equivalent, and the iPhone is where I fell in love with making photography
- With an R5 I can punch in with a 1.6x crop, which is a 38mm equivalent, so I can still get a tighter shot and although it’s cropping the 44.8 megapixels from the sensor, there’s still plenty to spare.
- My photo kit had gotten too big, particularly if we’re travelling.

The one with a Britt in front is our Airbnb … the other is just how damn cute Tamworth homes are

Took the girls to the office today. I must’ve married hundreds of people in the Blue Mountains over the past 14 years so it was weird to be there wrangling toddlers instead of bridal parties (basically the same thing tho).

Got a new 24mm
I acquired a new lens for my Canon EOS R5 camera today, the new Canon RF 24mm f/1.8. I’m generally a fan of a long lens, like my favourite 70-200mm. If I had a pack horse with me (and endless money) I’d have the $20,000 600mm on me at all times. But for family photos, portraits, some landscapes, and vlogging you need something a little wider.
Britt loves a 35mm, me not so much. I’ve enjoyed my little 50mm, but it’s not wide enough, in that it’s not wide at all. I trialled the RF 16m but that’s too warped and wide.
When Canon announced the new RF 24mm I had three positive thoughts:
So I sold my 16mm, 35mm, and I’m about to sell my 50mm, and I’ll be left with this 24mm and my 70-200.
How does the Canon RF 24mm compare to an iPhone 12 Pro 26mm? Here’s two moments captured by both, and edited in Lightroom on the iPhone with my friend Bec’s Story Keeper presets:

Everyone goes shopping and posts a selfie of the new clothes they bought while I’m over here like, I got some more camera things

I truly struggle to understand why we - as a global community - are so weird about immigration. That because of the genetic lottery you were born in a certain fenced area so you mainly just stay there for most of your life.
And we all fight to maintain that level of normalcy.

Sunday morning at Bondi
It’s amazing to me that the least valued, least used, and most uncool social network in the world is constantly the most important.
What’s the most you’ve paid for an Old Fashioned?
Finally the Pringles people have removed the unnecessary lids. If once you pop you can’t stop, why have plastic lids?
An opera I’d go to
You can say what you want about the downfall of a Sydney institution like Bread & Circus after being sold but I can’t trust a cafe that takes my order on an iPad with a 30 pin dock connector.
The Withers’ in Wonderland (at The Grounds of Alexandria)
Experiencing Sydney through the eyes and words of a three year old is marvellous. She looks at this building and calls it a castle and supposes there could be a princess at the top. I said there’s more than likely a few princesses inside.
Luna upon seeing Circular Quay and the Sydney ferries for the first time: they’re like pirates!
