The last week has been a little hectic (or chaotic), though I have managed to keep a camera fairly close by as I have been travelling around.  The following photos really are just another random collection from the last 10 days.  The photos are shot of people/places that interested me or stood out while I was wandering around. They are all shot on the streets of Brisbane with whatever lens or camera I had with me at the time.  In some cases this was just the iPhone 4s or the Olympus OM-D with usually the Voigtlander 17.5mm lens.

My random wednesday was cut a little short today, however I still did manage to get a couple of photos out on the street.  Its often very easy to find an excuse not to take a photo but one of the things I have learned in street photography over the years is that if you are not out taking photos then you are not learning and possibly missing a great moment that may have appeared right in front of you as you were walking.  As far back as I can remember, my approach has just to randomly walk (often with som eflexible idea in mind).

This weeks collection of photos really is just random - really random!  It includes a little astrophotography with the GH3 mounted directly to a telescope to photograph the sun and the moon.  I did also photograph Saturn - but was not at all happy with the resultant photos (mainly due to the tracking not working on the telescope.  I also used the Olympus OM-D E-M5 and the iPhone 4s.  I seem to always have some device on me that I can use to take the occassional random photo and if that is an iPhone or something similar, such as the Samsung phone then thats what I will use.

Over the last three months I have had the opportunity to play with the new Panasonic GH3 and each time I go to take photos I always opt to take the Olympus OM-D EM-5. Don’t get me wrong here - the Panasonic Gh3 is a great camera - there is just a few things that annoy me when I am on the street taking photos. From a video perspective - I only use the Panaosnic GH3 now. I have been meaning to write a review about this camera for a while now but I like to ensure I actually use the camera regularly before making any wild claims about what it can and can’t do.
