IMAGE INFO
- The photographer's viewpoint is looking south-west, from where the footpath along the western side of Hovell Street would later be constructed.
- The iconic Wodonga water tower landmark (constructed circa 1923) can be seen in the background.
- Note the soldier in this image HAS his rifle, whereas in the later image (circa 1930s) the RIFLE IS MISSING!
- Sadly, the sculpture of the WW1 "Digger" soldier on top of the column no longer exists. The following reference mentions it as having been replaced with an obelisk, but gives no reason for why this was done. I cannot find any other references about it's removal.
Quote courtesy of: vhd.heritagecouncil.vic.gov.au/places/125579/download-report - "The Wodonga War Memorial, on Hovell Street, was unveiled on 19 November 1924 by Sir James Barrett. At the end of the First World War, welcome home socials were held and a 'Back to Wodonga Festival' was organised to raise funds for the soldiers returning home.
The service to mark the tenth anniversary of Gallipoli was held at a memorial that had been created in Woodland Grove, a civic garden space that had been created in town. The memorial, made from Harcourt Granite, featured a soldier standing at attention on a plinth that bore the names of forty-five Wodonga men who were killed.
In place of the soldier the memorial now consists of an obelisk on a tiered, concrete base set within a paved circle featuring three flagpoles.
Later conflicts have also been acknowledged: "Malaya 1948-1960, Korea 1950-1953, Sabah Sarawak 1962-1966, Malaya Peninsula 1964-1966, Vietnam 1962-1972."

These shots were taken from video stills captured in 2016 on the first Sony A7s camera at a time when I was learning how log images worked and how best to color grade them in Resolve. Captured in Slog2 / S-Gamut.
The original resolution wasn't very high for a still, so I upscaled it using Gigapixel AI, which works pretty darn well!
I don't remember exactly how I colored these, but I'm pretty sure the foundation was a filmic color emulation based on a Kodak print stock.
The lighting setup was a 300W halogen stage par bounced off of a sheet of unbleached muslin and dimmed for a more golden color. The rim light from the right was a desk lamp pointed at Ayesha :)
Lens wise I want to say it might have been an older adapted Contax Zeiss 50mm?
Classic meets new, as seen on the Westplein in Rotterdam. The classic Atlantic Huis with Grand Café Loos at street level, meeting the brand new Zalmhaventoren.
The Zalmhaventoren is 215m tall, at the highest point, and as of now the tallest skyscraper in the Benelux. The building project has started in 2018 and will be finished this year in 2022.
The Atlantic Huis, a National Monument ("Rijksmonument") was built almost a century earlier, between 1928-1930, in Art Déco style. It was one of the first corporate collection buildings in The Netherlands and one of the first having its own parking garage. In 2009 it was transformed into a luxurious apartment building.
The light-coloured facade on the right is a part of the Veerkade 1 building, which is a national monument as well.
As a bit of experimenting I upscaled the image resolution of this picture using Topaz GigaPixel AI. Not unhappy with the end result.

Now here's a different safari animal: a tiny bat hanging upside down in a very thorny bush. Seen in Serengeti National Park, Tanzania, Africa.
This photo was taken using an M.Zuiko 40-150mm f/2.8 Pro lens @150mm. Then enlarged using the Topaz labs Gigapixel tool and subsequently cropped to its current dimensions. Otherwise it would have had a bit too much of a "Where's Waldo?" factor...
Not the best picture ever, but too cute not to share here.
See where this photo was taken (approximately; the GPS tracker ran a bit out of sync).
