Darwin Harbour forshore with Coconut trees lining the bike and walking track. Taken with infrared converted camera.
Today I had to run an errand which took me down the Northcote bike path that runs up the middle of St George's Road. The rows of elms that flank either side of the path were aglow in the morning sun as they shook out their golden Autumnal livery in a brilliant display.
Melbourne had a very good start to summer with not too many burning hot days and lots of rain, which means that the autumn display of leaves at present are simply glorious.

Last image in this series of the Bike track at Hillside Park in Lamont.
To be honest I am not sure if I even noticed the the street lamp at the left while shooting. I may have been able to adjust my position slightly to lose it. I could also have eliminated it quite easy when processing, but I actually like it, with it's glow from the sun. I suppose it gives a clue to the viewer that we are in civilization, and because of it's small size it tends to make the rocks look more like huge boulders.
Exposing for the sun and sky, I knew the land would be silhouetted, and to keep the sky from getting too dark while keeping some colour in the sun I shot with the sun partially blocked, tucking it in between the ground and the rock. So I guess you could say that the sun was between a rock and a hard place.
Of course I had to choose a small aperture, as I just love sunstars. The end of the day, or maybe the beginning, depending on how one wants to see it.
Bike Tracks with colourful names ... especially "Red Belly" referring to the Red-belly Black Snake ... not something you want to encounter on a bike ride in the bush!
Daily Dog Challenge: Colourful
through a couple of Scribbly Gums. They do a good job creating these bike tracks even if we use them as dog tracks😀

I could go on and on, as there were many opportunities with the conditions of that day, but I will end the series on a very simple shot. I have indeed enhanced the blue sky to some degree to contrast nicely with the prisitine snow. As with many shots of this part of the Bike Track at Hillside Park, I have got down low so as to hide the background in keeping the scene as simple as possible. Still in view is just a bit of the Hill at the left, and I did not notice just a few tree tops in the distance on the right side. Still, it is simple enough.
When the Bike Track first went up I was not crazy over it, as it did take away a few smaller clay hills that had some interesting colours and textures, along with desert like plants growing on them. I just knew that no one would use the Bike track, and I was right. At the time though it was something different to shoot and I thought that it would maybe make an interesting subject when covered in snow, envisioning something like this. I have to say that in the end, I kind of like this area, especially in Winter, and seem to visit it each time I go to the park.

I have been posting images of this series in chronological order. This one was only taken ten minutes after yesterday's shot, but the light and colour has changed quite a bit, especially in the sky. Taken with the sun that was now barely below the horizon behind me.
This one could very well be my favourite of the series. There were approximately three inch wide tire tracks on much of the Bike Track. Not sure what make them, but I would be surprised if was a pedal bike. Anyways, the tracks in the snow made interesting lines that I liked. I took a number of shots of them from various viewpoints but liked this shot the best.
A strong cold front and associated vigorous change from the SSW rolled over Hobart back in April. Wind, rain and snow on the mountain.
I went out with the film cameras to catch some of the wet highlights but had the X-T1 in the bag with its besty, the XF18/2.

This is the backyard pump track at my brother's house. It is named as such because if you hit the jumps right and push down on the landing you can keep your speed up without having to pedal.
Moonee Ponds Creek, is situated in the midst of a heavy infrastructure project right now, it impacts cyclists and makes for an interesting outdoor walking experience.
One of several projects, that explore photography as evidence amongst other ideas.

Make it big :-)
Although this is really just a test shot of the vertical junk at the bottom of my street, I really liked the light with all the wet surfaces and the shower clearing away.
I went out with three Fujis. X-T1 image already posted (used as the light meter).
This frame comes from 'The Whale' - Fujifilm GSW690III Professional (fully manual/analogue 6x9 film camera with fixed 65mm f/6.3). The third camera being a Fuji TX-1/XPAN (frames still in the can).
Great backlighting conditions with strong showers and low/bright sun. I felt these conditions would sort out any issues with the film cameras.
Pretty happy with this beast of a camera - always a punt with old cameras but this one is a keeper. Lens is approximately 28mm in 35mm format and the coatings coped really well with direct sunlight straight down the barrel. Will probably keep a yellow filter on it for the type of pics that I generally favour- like this one.
Fujifilm GSW690III, Fuji 65/6.3. Ilford Delta 400. 1/250th sec at 5.6. Very little post - just a few curves and vignette and SEP for the toning.
Feel free to make it big :-)
