Re: Yarrie Lake Billabong

Thanks Maris, yes the 250mm is no my go to lens for a lot of stuff these days, especially isolating things if they are reasonably close.

I tried to walk closer to help with the isolating possibilities of this lens, but I started to sink... :o

Yarrie Lake Billabong

A short walk from our camp to the billabong where I blew a few sheets.

Re: Paperbark Trees, Lake Weyba

I'm assuming this is a contact print, if so, I really would like to see this in the flesh; it should be wonderful. Not sure if you've held the corners a tiny bit, but the natural fall off in all the corners works very well here as it looks natural. With regard to paperbark and paper bark. My underst...

Re: Nude on Exercise Bike

Interesting view point. If you hadn't mentioned it was on an exercise bike, I would never have guessed.

I like the rim lighting on the upper torso as it gives definition to the silhouette of the figure.

Sort of an action shot using a view camera; not an easy ask.

Re: Field Mushroom

Quite a newsworthy subject, it would seem.

Unless it was a giant mushroom, I would think you've done a bit of bellows extension, quite striking image.

Re: Noosa Bushfire, Aftermath

Quite hard to depict bushfires with B&W film, unless things are really scorched or there is smoke rising. You have both of those elements, and the sparseness of the smouldering landscape gives this a further kick. Fireproof aluminium, interesting. Does it go straight from solid to liquid? We had...

Re: Lake Weyba, Tree Window.

Relaxing picture, I think it may work well on a wall.

Freestyle Private Reserve, any idea who manufactured it?

Country Estate, Inverell

Been on a bit of a trip. House on a hill on the outskirts of Inverell NSW. Nice sunny day, but really cool unless you were in the sunlight. Around 600m above sea level according to my GPS, which explains a bit of the cool feeling. Plus it was in July. :shock: Shen Hao HZX45-IIA Ilford FP4+ 4x5"...

Re: Lang Lang Station Points Lever

Thanks Maris. I hadn't thought of the Pillar of Power being the future and this being the past, but you are right, it is such. Yes the 250 is getting a workout whenever I wish to isolate things slightly, it is really quite good at that. I would have liked to have a 300, but there is a practical limi...

Lang Lang Station Points Lever

The trains have long gone from Lang Lang, as have General Motors Holdens from GM's test track. Nonetheless, I was visiting the area and decided to have lunch and chanced upon the now disused station, really only the platform; which the points lever is on, and the two sets of tracks adjacent to the p...
