Location
On the way to Birdsville, QLD from innamincka, SA. It is not the Birdsville trackTime
Pretty late in the day as you can tell by the shadowsLighting
All natural, 1% humidity very little bulldust Australian desert sunEquipment
A Pentagon six and a Trusty Carl Zeiss Flektogon 65mm Fuji Provia. A Cup of cold tea to steady my hands after driving a leaf sprung Toyota without power steering all dayInspiration
I thought the lone road, of which there was a lot more to do looked just perfect like that. Something tells me I want to remember that day later...Editing
All slide film went into the E6 process. Scanned it later on a little drum scanner.In my camera bag
These days I had a Nikon f2a and a Pentagon 6 and a Toyo field. The toyo field was reserved for really special things. Today, I have a d4 and mostly manual lenses between 12 and 500mm., Of which I use most the 12 or 18mm mf, the 24-70 and a Sigma macro 180mm lens.Feedback
If you go on a long trip, drive and watch. Don't play with gimmicks but listen to you engine and watch. Then stop, listen to the land and choose the frame. That's all, I still do it 30 years later in Costa Rica.
