A waiting game 1
The north coast of Tasmania is usually fairly calm and a little sheltered from the worst of the prevailing winds, but now and then the conditions would bring some wild weather from the north and the swell would create some great conditions for the local surfers. This was taken at the mouth of the Mersey River at Devonport on just such a wild day.
The two other keen photographers and I were waiting patiently for some surfing action, as were the surfers themselves.
I did actually cause some frustration for the photographer who was crouching down. We never actually got into much conversation on the day but he did look keenly at my big 3D World stereo camera that was used here. At the time, I kept a Canon strap on it, and this poor guy went home and spent hours online scouring the internet for a Canon 3D camera! He let me know of his frustrations (in a good natured way) a week or so later when we once again met up at a similar location.
The 3D World camera is a rare beast which was produced by a small Chinese company and there would have been maybe just a few hundred examples around the world and only two that I know of in Australia.
Original colour slide was taken around 2007 with a 3D World medium format stereo film camera using Fuji Provia 100 colour slide film. Scanned with a Canon R10 with RF24-240mm lens and Nisi close up attachment.
