hoppyman Posted April 17, 2016 Share #621 Posted April 17, 2016 (edited) Advertisement (gone after registration) David and Mark you are very kind. It was film. I was very fond of that M7. I'm sure that we all have particular cameras that we became very attached too, in part because or where and how we used them. Well that was 3 M cameras ago now...sigh. I was way off on my lens guess. Must have been a significant crop. Should have picked that from the building perspective shooting from a little below to put the roofline where it is. I actually found my wife's photo of me that I remembered and that was with the Summicron M 28 ASPH and I had their variable finder on top of the camera. There is the face of a happy M7 user albeit with cool fingers! Welcome, dear visitor!

MarkP Posted April 17, 2016 Author Share #623 Posted April 17, 2016 (edited) I really like the fly-covered roadkill Lucky you didn't join it. I hope you had a lookout. I was always very anxious taking my NT highway photos. Edited April 17, 2016 by MarkP Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
david strachan Posted April 18, 2016 Share #624 Posted April 18, 2016 (edited) I really like the fly-covered roadkill Hahaha...reminds me of a series I did at the Orange Camera Club many years ago. I thought they were sad, but quite interesting.."Road Kills"...I just about got lynched! A popular figure bandied around for the last few decades quotes 33,000 animals a day loose their lives on Australian Roads...sadly. Dave S Edit: A search shows lower numbers are now quoted...but who knows what's being counted. Numerous lizards, birds...are insects animals? Should they be counted as road fatalities. Who knows exactly...quite impossible to be accurate. Edited April 19, 2016 by david strachan 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
platypus Posted April 19, 2016 Share #625 Posted April 19, 2016 Paddock giant. Snowy Mountains region, NSW. Eucalyptus Viminalis, or riibbony gum, this is a very commodious example, every branch has a hollow and every hollow contains the nest of a native parrot, but it might be the world's untidiest species of tree.

david strachan Posted April 19, 2016 Share #626 Posted April 19, 2016 (edited) What a beauty Dee. I think the E. viminalis is also one of the few species Koalas eat. Do you see them up there on the Monaro? Love the story of the hollows. Any idea how old a tree like that might be?? I wouldn't roll my swag out under that one...but look at all the lovely firewood. I like the foreground litter and the distant trees...particularly the specimen so perfectly on the horizon. all best Dave S Edited April 19, 2016 by david strachan 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have no real idea how old a ribbony of this size would actually be, this one has been here all my life as a big, mature tree (and that's saying something!).....thankfully many of these really big trees are still hanging in there despite many times of prolonged drought. Regarding the poor little Koalas....there are none here now. Local legend has it that the Monaro absolutely teemed with them prior to white settlement. Apparently the early settlers found them really good eating and very easy to hunt, and so of course proceeded to eat the whole population out within a few years. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
david strachan Posted April 20, 2016 Share #628 Posted April 20, 2016 We see them around our city neighbourhood. They are super muscly,, and don't look like something to casually approach. You can have some to repopulate the Monaro...they are very overpopulated on Kangaroo Island, and culling has been necessary. Not sure about eating them though...fancy mutton with eucalyptus oil dressing?... all best Dave S 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Koalas of course are in the 'cute Disney like animals, worthy of saving category (the Bambi syndrome). Man will always interfere and our presence is irreversible of course. So often it seems that even the most well meaning actions have unintended and unforeseen consequences. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
david strachan Posted April 21, 2016 Share #631 Posted April 21, 2016 (edited) "So often it seems that even the most well meaning actions have unintended and unforeseen consequences."...Geoff Rabbits, Cane Toads, Starlings, Foxes...all cause devastation in various ways...introduced with naïve "good intent". Also Mesquite in the Northern Territory. And the Pacific star which was accidently introduced to Hobart's harbour. Today is Earth Day...we should all reflect on just what this means. To me a celebration day remembering when "we turned the corner" realising we pollute earth, and in many ways have taken steps to reduce these practices. all the best Dave S Edited April 21, 2016 by david strachan 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

david strachan Posted April 25, 2016 Share #636 Posted April 25, 2016 Dee...really lovely...can't add any more except...really peaceful too... Ooh and I still like your muted colours. Mark...what a bummer with processing. I saw your initial angry post and wondered about the warty bits...which you've removed here. Do you think they were just emulsion breaking down? Frankly...it all just looked like worst processing imaginable...but could even an amateur make such a disaster...I still wonder about a very bad batch, or emulsion deterioration, though I've never seen anything like it. But I love the light and a lot of repair in PS or LR could completely fix the problems. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
platypus Posted April 25, 2016 Share #637 Posted April 25, 2016 (edited) Thanks very much Dave! But looking at it here I am not pleased with it....It's the hopeless sky: too light altogether.
