My new favourite Camera Strap

In the Olive colour-way on my Fujifilm X100F

Hi friends! I copped these awesome collab straps early from my good friends over at Create Explore x DSPTCH. I gotta say that they’re awesome. I’ve already ditched my previous camera strap and got these on instead.

P.S. How sexy does the strap look on my (brand new) Fujifilm X100F!

They’re made of a softer and more comfortable material (but just as strong) and look really cool. These are the first DSPTCH products I own and I am very impressed. For those who don’t know, they’re a company based out of SF, USA. The build quality is high and their packaging is grade A. You can always tell how much a company cares by how much effort and attention to detail they put into their product packaging.

The zipper bags (below left) they come in are high quality and I will definitely be using them to store things in. The velcro strap ties (below right) used to wrap the the camera strap together in the packaging will also come in handy as a cable fastener for all my charging cords! Lastly the Create Explore logo is a cool velcro patch that can be taken off and swapped!

These straps are now available for purchase (they’re in limited quantities - so jump on this quick). You can pick them up here:

Hope you liked the info and pics. Let me know if you have any questions and which strap you’re currently using in the comments.

3 days in Mt Fuji
3 days in Mt Fuji

Friends! I got some photos (and a vlog) for you from a weeked trip away to Mt Fuji. We head to Mt Fuji for the weekend to chase some Autumn colours (with Fooj in the back obviously). If you have never been to Mt Fuji, be warned that depending on the time of year, it might not always be visible. It is kind of crazy thinking about how huge the mountain is and how it can just hide from you so easily in the clouds. I was once told by a tour guide that Mt Fuji is female because she likes to hide from you and will only appear if you are nice. Click through for more word and some photos to match.

Solo Travelling New Zealand: Queenstown to Milford Sound

Come with me as I solo road trip from Queenstown to Milford Sound and back. I stayed at an epic Airbnb in Queenstown and finally shot a full night (10 hour) astro photography sequence. I am also pretty sure I caught Venus, Mars AND a meteor shower in the astrolapse. I also do the epic drive to Milford Sound TWICE in two very wildly different conditions. Watch here:
