What could be more Aussie than a platypus in a gum tree?
I was actually taking 3D images of this pond and surrounds which lie in the Tasmanian Arboretum near Devonport, when I was suddenly surprised by this lively little platypus! Not having anything with me resembling a zoom lens, I was stuck with the camera at hand which was the big 3D World medium format stereo film camera and its fixed 80mm lenses. So, it was a quick re-aim of the tripod mounted camera, a very quick manual refocus, and hope for the best. When a platypus pops to the surface, they usually don't hang around for long.
Any day with a platypus sighting is a good day!
Original colour slide was taken between 2007 and 2009 with a 3D World medium format stereo film camera using Fuji Provia 100F colour slide film. Scanned with a Canon R10 with RF24-240mm lens and Nisi close up attachment.
