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.

3 Cape Barren Goose on Maria Island.
The overall colour of the picture is  very ‘pastel-like’ which I find is fairly characteristic of Tasmanian landscapes.

The Cape Barren Goose (cereopsis novaehollandiae) is a large goose resident in southern Australia.

These are bulky geese and their almost uniformly grey plumage, bearing rounded black spots, is unique. The tail and flight feathers are blackish and the legs are pink with black feet. The short, decurved black bill and green cere gives it a very peculiar expression.

Once considered a threatened species, the Cape Barren Goose was introduced to Maria Island in 1968 to start a safety population.
Now they roam freely around the island.

Puddle ducks, Romaine Reserve, Burnie.

A great park for a slow Sunday morning stroll.
There is a walking track that winds around a dam on Romaine creek. Domestic and wild fowls abound.

For this shot, I used Tri-X pushed to ISO1600 and souped in Rodinal. Great tonal range with much less grain than expected.

5 more days……………… soon.

See you then and wish me luck.

A walk around my neighbourhood.

A Seagull from a distance.

Seagulls naturally inhabit shear cliff faces but have recently come to live on our roofs and amoung our chinmey pots. This is because humans provide easy pickings and gulls are either clever or lazy depending on your point of view. They will eat or try to eat almost anything. Which probably explains why they can be found in all parts of Tasmania and the world.

Birds on Cables.

I have no idea why or how so many birds made their way into my frames in this particular roll of film that i shot.
They have a liking for Fujifilm i guess.
