This is one goods train ( now called freight trains ) sitting in the yard at Cairns, while another goods passes behind it on the main, in 1974.

Sorry about the poor quality but the picture came from a slide.

Brussels, 2005. Not bad considering I didn't use a tripod.

Taken on Tuesday night while I was up in Deua NP testing out the Chocolate Mugcake recipe in the camp oven.

The exposure details for those who care about such things are: f2.8 with four bits of bracken fern.

Remember the days when photographers exposed a photo by removing a cap from the lens and igniting a measured amount of magnesium powder in a tray?

Exposing this shot was a bit like that. The digital camera I was using was nowhere near as good as my old Pentax ME Super at coping with extremely long exposure times. The ME Super could cope well with 2 minute exposures as long as I allowed for reciprocity failure.

So I just set the shutter speed to 30 seconds and threw four bits of bracken fern on the fire. Six bits of bracken fern gave me an overexposed shot.

Not really very good at photography, just a point and click sorta person. But though this turned out OK for a hand held job.

Hope panos are not against the rules.

I watched it finish spinning the web and start to settle in the middle.

Wodonga Water Tower,

The council added lights to the tower early last year to brighten up the place, it changes colour all night. they added some more lights through the park end of last year yet to spend some time with that.

Will post other pics in another thread later.
