Just thought i'd share a little something for those of you that aren't following me on Instagram. My account is currently private though and i'm still contemplating if i should make it public. Probably once my pictures are good enough to grace your feed will i then consider revealing to all.

Finally took my new D7000 for a quick run. The picture quality is astounding and i'm finding myself falling even more in love with each click. Pair that with my wide angle lens and i've got myself a dynamic duo.

Was talking to Jen Mei and she reminded me of this shoot we did ages ago. My first ever photoshoot to be exact, taken with the standard kit lens. Now do you see why i really dislike this lens? The quality is horrifying and i had to do whatever i could to salvage them through Photoshop (and let's be clear, my Photoshop skills aren't nearly satisfying enough). But the transgression of photo skills are really evident hey. Definitely not my best work but to me it shows how i've improved over the past 3 years. Given the opportunity to shoot with them again, i think i could do a whole lot better.

I've always had this fascination with old architecture; brick-wall buildings with archways that make you feel like you've stepped into a magical world (or in my case, Hogwarts). Coming here actually made me mad at my uni for not establishing a building like this. Now how am i supposed to find a building equally as grand for my winter convocation? *sadface.

Certain shots would have looked much better with someone posing inside but i'm leaving all that when Melissa comes. In the meantime, i still have a lot more to discover about beautiful Sydney.

P/s I'm thinking to get a good zoom lens since i'm currently living off my wide angle and (neglected) prime. Deciding between the:

Sigma 17-70mm f2.8-4 DC Macro OS HSM lens

Sigma 18-125mm f3.8-5.6 DC OS HSM lens

Sigma 18-200mm f3.5-6.3 II DC OS lens

Suggestions?
