film

A dragon kiln, the last one in Singapore produced 1000’s of plant pots with each firing. Managing one of these beasts was in itself a real art and a fascinating thing to see. Fuji film on a Pentax SV or MX

An Echidna close up these are normally quite shy secretive creatures this one popped out of the bush and scrambled up on this rock giving me a rare opportunity to catch a portrait

Unloading a kiln at Royal Crown Derby. This film is going to get a bath any larger than this and it looks like it’s been sand blasted. Taken in the late 80’s Pentax

12 days ago in southern Tasmania a farmer friend took this photo on her sheep farm and tomorrow it’s 31 deg C Our weather this last 6 months has been crazy!

Back in Sept Launceton (Tasmania) received a lot of heavy rain over 48 hrs Both rivers rose dramatically Around dusk we had remarkable light For 10 minutes or so light from the sunset was reflected off blue black clouds almost everything except new spring plant growth had a blue purple cast

A watercolour a scene from my back garden

For my first post… A tiny bit of blue sky in Launceston. I haven’t been developing much film recently but this is about as analogue as it gets. The current state of my developing watercolour skills🤔🤣
