Take Flight

Street photography is fun.
However, where I live……. not a lot of street for me to indulge in street photography.

Nature, on the other hand, is in glorious abundance all around.
Used to do quite a bit of landscape photography when I had my Nikon D700. Problem was, the filters, tripod lugging and also the ‘Golden’ hours eventually got the better of me. Photography became too slow. Heavy too.

Nowadays, I just walk and click.
Not saying that this is a better way – just the kind of photography I prefer.

I am doing it

Beginners do it.
Hobbyist do it.
Amateurs do it.
Professionals do it.
I am doing it.

Here is me with my Leica MP, Tom A Rapidwinder, 50mm PreAsph Summilux, Artisan and Artist ‘Kobe’ Strap.

Have a good weekend.

The Enchanted Walk, Cradle Mountain National Park.
Beautiful, short and easy stroll. I would do it over…. and over again.

Discovered a really nice song over the weekend.
Song is called ‘Pretend’ by singer, Lights. I prefer the piano version.

Light, of course, is what makes a picture.

Paw Steps

Paw Steps, Burnie beachfront.
Was working last Sunday and it was unusually quiet. Thus, I managed to sneak down to the beach and shot a roll of Tri-X.
A storm was approaching, the tide was high, the waves pounding and the beach deserted – there was a strange sense of peace.

Beyond The Sea

Somewhere, beyond the sea……
Burnie seafront.

Enchanted Walk

Mixed myself a fresh batch of Ilford Rapid Fixer – hhmmpphhhh the reassuring smell of ammonia hah.
Developed 2 rolls of Tri-X.
Tried Rodinal 1:75 this time around instead of my usual 1:50. Can’t wait to see the end result.
Listened to Jimmy Smith’s Moonlight In Vermont in my ‘Darkroom’
…………………..aaahhhhh, my sweet escape

Meanwhile, this is Dove River, Enchanted Walk, Cradle Mountain.
