Just got myself an #AppleWatch. Seems I’ve gone all in with the Apple Ecosystem.

Testing to write with Ulysses into Micro.blog

Got the Macs! I went ahead and purchased my new #macbook and #iphone. Spent the majority of my afternoon going through all the settings and getting these things ready for use. Exciting!

Can’t wait for the week off next week. I need some more time out in #nature to get more photos and practice #birding and #sound recording.

On another note, I’ve decided to invest into the #apple ecosystem and will get a #Macbook in the coming weeks. Goodbye huge #PC case.

Been looking into the #Apple ecosystem. I’ve been a Linux and Windows guy for years and even my phone is a pixel. But would anyone recommend switching into the apple ecosystem and taking advantage of the benefits that offers?

Enjoyed the day out #birding today in #BrimbankPark. I spotted 87 birds which consisted of 17 species. 3 of which I had not seen (or noticed) before. They’ve since been added to my #LifeList. This is a fun hobby!

I signed up to #ebird and got the app. Going to enjoy #birding and developing my photography skills some more in this area. Going to go check out a local spot and see if I can get some nice snaps!

It’s mine and my wife’s 13th year wedding anniversary and we both forgot about it, until cousins messaged us congratulating us, therefore reminding us. 🤦

I made a #video of my last #photowalk while out taking photos of #fungi and practising my #FocusBracketing skills. Check it out!

Got the #ZoomF6. Now just need the mics and I will be ready to dive into #FieldRecording while out in nature. Going to have a lot of fun with this when doing #birding at the same time. Would be nice to not only take photos of birds, but capture some in slow-mo video and such :D

I think that’s it for fungi photography this season. I’ll be focusing on #birding and developing that skill over #spring. I have a #ZoomF6 coming and a pair of stereo mics. I intend to try out field recording with the bird walks!

New video: a quiet photo walk in Wombat State Forest, Blackwood VIC. I make three wild fungi macros using focus bracketing on the Sony A7R V—no talking, just forest ambience. I’ll share the finished photos over the next couple of days. Watch: www.youtube.com/watch

Mum just had a fall 🤕 Getting #XRay now. Thinking possible broken arm. As we get older, we look after our young kids, and also our ageing parents.

Feeling great this morning. Had a great time yesterday on my day off. Managed to take 3 nice photos which were composed of around 250 photos total. I am stacking and editing them now. But I also have a photo walk video to go along with these shots :) Should make for a nice nature walk video.

I have the day to myself today, and it’s a beautiful day. Will go out and see if I can still spot some fungi to #photograph. If not, I’ll look for bugs and birds!

Apologies for not being too active with posts on here. I am here, just been busy focusing on editing a new website for my photography hobby. Adding my newest photos to it that I took with my new camera. Expect to see more :) www.samuellison.photography

I’m juggling between using #Shopify or #Photodeck to host my photography for downloading and to integrate into #WhiteWall for physical prints.

Thoughts?

Pretty tired this morning. Might need to take a nap after taking the kids to school. I have the day off tomorrow, as do the kids. Trying to plan for things to do on a rainy day.

Back to work yesterday, after 10 days off. That means less time to go hikes and walks for all the photos, though I do have a lot in the backlog to edit! And I do have my new diffuser and flash setup for insect macro that I plan to try out!

Went to #CapeSchank and the #PeninsulaHotSprings with the family yesterday and had a wonderful time. Hope to do it again in the future. Took some beautiful photos too!
