If you live in Victoria, you may remember that brief interlude we had in May, between lock downs when life seemed to back to normal. We went walking Warrandyte on one of those weekends, and it was great to see so many people out and about enjoying the lovely weather and sunshine (at least Melbourne did give us that!).
The El Dorado Dredge is an impressive sight – it’s enormous! – and definitely worth a visit. I’m inspired to get back there we can travel again and Go Local First.
My first test of Ilford SFX 200 with a red 25 filter. Taken during lockdown, my subject matter was restricted to what I could see from my house.
The Lorne Dog Beach was the perfect place for a stroll, and having a water dog, it was a must!
This series is from another photography assignment in 1999 – night photography. The top photo is one of my favourite all time photos, it printed (in a darkroom) beautifully. One of the positives of lock-down is rediscovering some of these old negatives.
We took a morning walk from our apartment building at Charlottehaven to the Kastellet (Star Fortress) and then into Copenhagen for morning tea at the Design Museum. Passing the Ivar Huitfeldt Column, Gefion Fountain and St. Alexander Nevsky Church along the way.
Tallinn Old Town is one the best preserved medieval towns in Europe, with cobble stoned streets, intact medieval walls and towers, St Olaf’s Church (1267), Alexander Nevsky Cathedral (1900) with it’s iconic onion domes, The Parliament Of Estonia (a 13th century castle) and the Telegraph Hotel (housed in the old Estonian Telegraph building, 1878). No wonder it is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Varenna is in the centre of Lake Como, on the eastern shores of the lake. It’s a gorgeous little village and was quite stunning on a bright and sunny winter day.
Dogs were the big winners in Melbourne’s lock down. I’ve never seen so many out and about while walking mine. Being a water dog, she takes every opportunity for a swim.
I had my camera, but only a roll of ISO 400 film and there was too little light to shoot by hand. I thought I’d try out pushing it to 800. Like so many photos of this time, the streets and station were eerily quiet. I like the dark blacks and the washed out highlights.
