Down Ramping

Taken at my local shopping centre complex. Wondering whether I would be checked by a security guard, I assembled everything ready to go in the shade of one of the wing doors on the truck, then all I needed to do was walk over, compose, focus, and wait for an appropriate amount of automobiles moving ...

Whroo Reservoir

Taken early in the morning before cyclonic winds started for the day, and thereby making any image on the water opaque.

Re: Black Stone in Beach Sand

Maris, this is simplicity and strength personified. I'm not sure how you managed to get a wet rock and wet sand, but the combined effect is what grabs you. Were you standing in waves of water? I agree with the comparison to the standard Japanese flag, so simple, yet so powerful. Their military flags...

Re: Wanted: 20x24 Easel

It was a long shot, however I found out that a 12"x16" LPL easel has been procured.

I've never seen a Photon Bear easel, only pictures.

The Saunders easels with the yellow base are great to use with white paper, you know exactly where the edge of the paper is if you have the blades up.

Re: Looking to downsize

As I understand it, you can convert any Sinar to 4x5, 5x7 or 8x10 by changing to the relevant standards. But I get your point, I have and use a Toyo 45G which while not quite in the same company as Sinar equipment, the bulk is there. I have a Shen Hao HZX45-IIA, which is still manufactured today and...

Re: Wanted: 20x24 Easel

Jon, what part of Australia are you located in?

I'm not after one, but I know someone who was looking for something like this last year, he is in the Bendigo area.

Re: Fall, University of New England Campus, Armidale

Interesting Barry. My wife is German, currently she is learning French from a technical point online. Her French vocabulary is pretty good, her spoken French is, as far as I can tell, pretty good. She can also get by, sort of with Spanish, which was helpful when we visited Spain a decade or so back....

Re: Fall, University of New England Campus, Armidale

Nice capture of the fallen leaves. Quite interesting to see a scene like this coming from Qld, not quite what one expects. Did you chance upon this, or is it a known thing of yours? Regardless, a perfect example of what is possible with camera movements, what's next Maris, a snow scene? :o With rega...

Re: Aloe Vera

Maris, I am watching this plant in the hope I get the right conditions for most of the flowers to be open at the same time. But I'm not holding out too much hope for that, the bottom flowers are already wilting. In general this plant seems to flower for a considerable time, and to do it all at once ...

Aloe Vera

This sits on our back verandah table. Late in the day to utilise natural sidelight and less wind/breeze as the flower is atop a 400mm long stem from the base plant.
