The wet west coast
This shot, taken just before blue hour, is the very wet town of Strahan on Tasmania's west coast. Some of the cleanest air in the world is down this way, but it is also one of Tasmania's wettest towns with an average of over 1.6 metres per annum and some rainfall on 231 days of the year. Despite the rain, it is a wonderful place to visit and head off on one of the many river cruises to explore the Gordon River and historic Macquarie Harbour. The harbour-front here has many interesting little attractions and woodcraft galleries. I did actually purchase some pieces of Huon pine here which I still use for carving small wooden ornaments.
I had intended to wait a little longer for a slightly darker blue hour, but the rain set in once again!
Original colour slide was taken between 2007 and 2009 with a 3D World medium format stereo film camera using Fuji Provia 100F (or in this case, possibly Velvia) colour slide film. Scanned with a Canon R10 with RF24-240mm lens and Nisi close up attachment.
