Tree on the Lake

An archive post today. Shot in 2011 at the Sydney Chinese Gardens, I captured this beautiful tree overhanging the stone work and small pond.

For anyone visiting Sydney Australia, if you have time I would urge toy to visit the gardens. I think (?) at the time of my visit, it was the largest of its kind in Australia. Worth a few hours slowly walking around, and perhaps getting a cup of tea, the garden has some beautiful stonework, plants and an amazingly isolating power – being it is in the middle of the city.

Originally in colour, I converted to B&W in Gimp as it gives it more power and emotion in my opinion. Shot on the Sony A230 DSLR with a minolta 50mm Lens.

Penn an Wlas

Penn an Wlas, better known as Land’s End in UK is my photo for today. Taken in film some years ago, I just got around to scanning it today. Just out of Cornwall, Land’s End is the western most point of the UK. I recall the beautiful scenery of the area, and the high walled jagged cliffs that dropped to the ocean.

I like the noise from the film used and the almost painting like scene that the colours produce. Cropped in Gimp to remove some of the foreground and Sky, the photo was likely taken on my Minolta 700si.

I received another 35mm camera in the post today, an old Russian Zorki 4. I think I will give it a CLA before sticking a film through it, but overall it seems to operate great for a model dated early 60’s. At some stage I will post up a ‘my gear’ page featuring both digital and film cameras I use or intend to use at some stage.
