Behind The Lens

Location

On the way to Birdsville, QLD from innamincka, SA. It is not the Birdsville track

Time

Pretty late in the day as you can tell by the shadows

Lighting

All natural, 1% humidity very little bulldust Australian desert sun

Equipment

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 day

Inspiration

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.
