Yesterday we did a skip from Lonnie to Melbourne, and have overnighted in the airport hotel. It was pleasant to while away the hours plane spotting from our room using the Flight Radar app to find out where they had come from or where going to…

Just a few more hours to go before making our way to the international terminal, and skipping to Perth and then a mighty jump to London ! For those of you interested in photography, a quick note on the gear I am using.

The little camera on the left is a Leica CL. A very capable crop sensor unit coupled with 11-23mm and 55-135mm zoom lenses with a walk around 18mm pancake lens. This has manual and autofocus capabilities and can be easily carried in a small bag. It’s ideal for quick, but good images. To the right and back is full frame Leica M10R, with 2 Summilux, f1.4, lenses at 21 and 50mm. This is a digital Rangerfinder, no autofocus, and is only limited in image quality by the operator. You need to slow down and think using this, but the super wide 21mm will be great for evening walks along the river. Finally the little unit in the front is a Olympus Pen F, fitted with a pancake 14-42mm zoom and 60mm Macro. This is a great camera for Hazel to point and shoot, and I’ll use the Macro lens when visiting gardens.

Well that’s all for now, see you on the other side, of the world!
