I've learned (at least) two invaluable lessons from @othellonine. The only settings worth using in CrossProcess are Basic and Green. And Average Camera Pro rocks. I employed both lessons in the making of this photo. Thanks, Scott. Lachlan Payne recommends @othellonine. #lachlanpaynerecommends

lachlanpayne: @racheycakes Thanks Rachael.

If Statigram is to believed, then my photos only have an average lifespan of 6–12 hours before they slip off in to blissful anonymity, never to be seen again except by the occasional Flatterer or Likeaholic fishing through my feed hoping for a follow. And that got me thinking that there must be so many great but forgotten images hidden way back in everybody's feed, and that wouldn't it be great if once in a while we just picked one person we follow and worked our way through their images all the way to the beginning, liking and commenting all the way. So what d'ya say? How about you explore someone's back catalogue today? Wait — that sounded much dirtier than I had planned it to. Anyway, here's a repost from way back in my feed. There's some pretty alright stuff back there. Only much fewer rants.

For #repostwednesday, here's a shot from last year (re-edited in VSCO CAM, of course). It was one of the first shots I took with the iPhone 4S, and probably the first shot that made me think, "Sheesh, this camera ain't half bad."

I took the Olloclip out for a spin last night. And I failed. So here's a shot from our recent roadtrip. I think I've posted it before, but it's #repostwednesday and this is a new edit, courtesy of VSCO CAM (now with hi-tech cropping functionality). #payneroadtrip #roadtripbsides

Just when I think I've run out of photos from The Twelve Apostles, I look through my library and find a few more. Plus, I figure if I post them all in colour AND black-and-white, I could keep this up for another month at least. Too easy. #roadtripbsides

avranga: @lachlanpayne Hi, enjoyed going thro ur gallery full of scenes from the GOR.

avranga: @lachlanpayne The Great ocean road is surely full of awesome 'photo opportunities'. Was there a fortnight back, and like a busy tourist covered the entire stretch in a single day!; now I know what I've missed:-(

lachlanpayne: @avranga Thank you kindly.

sethcarnill: Love your feed man, amazing work.. You've really mastered your machine...

lachlanpayne: @seth_carnill Thanks again, Seth. Much appreciated.

The sunset drought is officially over. I took enough shots tonight to keep me posting for weeks, albeit really all just one shot from about fifteen different angles. But that's where creative editing comes in. Prepare to be (not) amazed.
