What if we photographed things right before they got covered up? We'd call it reverse archeology: uncovering what is about to be covered.
Strobist: 30 sec exposure to allow 4 flashes to be fired multiple times at full power. Two sb600s and two lumapro 120s. Triggered by a PW in my hand. Its amazing how much power it took to light up this space. I've got little tabletop tripods for the flashes (this is the driest tunnel I've ever seen and I still didn't want just drop the flashes on the floor)
Since the film is loaded into the camera in reverse, but the lab techs scan the negs 'normally' the result is a mirror image.
My first attempt at using the Redscale film/technique (see: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Redscale) I got the pre-loaded redscale film put out by Lomography (see: www.lomography.com/redscalefilm/)

Organ said to have been taken on a spring cart to church services at homestead 1912-13 and played by Mrs Mead of Tutye South. Church services and meetings were held at homestead until Cowangie Hall built 1913.
“Kow Plains. . . the opening of the new hall. . . The building would be the means of drawing the residents together for recreation and social engagements. . . When the concert commenced, the hall looked very pretty with artistic decorations, the credit of which is due to Mrs Mead, who supervised the work, and a number of local ladies.” [Pinnaroo & Border Times 14 Nov 1913]
“the late Mr Dougal M’Pherson, and the late Mr William M’Donald, his partner and overseer. . . He was informed by both these gentlemen that the name Cow Plains, not Kow, as it is now spelt, was the native name of Copi, or sulphate of lime, which is abundant there, and that the natives pronounced the name as Gow. . . The station was originally taken up by Mr Dougal M’Pherson, and was carried on for some years as a sheep station, until the wild dogs and rabbits compelled its abandonment for a time. . . In or about the year 1895 Mr M’Pherson stocked the run with Queensland cattle. . . This venture did not turn out successful . . . the cattle were removed and the run was abandoned.” [Pinnaroo & Border Times 29 Sep 1911]
“Cow Plains . . . it is estimated that 40,000 sheep have been lost through wild dogs and other causes since the run has been occupied.” [Horsham Times 10 Oct 1882]
“Mr Macdonald stated . . . At Cow Plains, where he formerly grazed 40,000 sheep in former years, there were only at the present time 14 goats.” [Horsham Times 30 Jan 1883]
“A party of men sent out by the proprietors of the Cow-plains Station returned to Nhill to-day, and reported that there is not at present any grass on the Cow-plains. Originally this was one of the finest grazing properties in the North West Wimmera, but owing to the devastation caused by the rabbits it is now incapable of carrying any stock at all. The owners contemplated making a cattle station of the property, but are now unable to feed cattle on it, although the land has been left unstocked for over a year.” [The Argus 19 Sep 1883]
“Cow Plains Land. We have received a plan from the Victorian Crown Lands Department showing the new areas open for selection. The land is situated in and around the Cow Plains Station.” [Pinnaroo & Border Times 31 Mar 1911]
“New bores are to be put down at the railway stations at Cowangie . . . Two tanks, with a storage capacity of 1000 cubic yards each, arc to be scooped in Kattyong parish . . . another of 1000) cubic yards is to be made near the old Kow Plains homestead.” [The Age 4 Jul 1913]
“that tract of Mallee country between Ouyen and Murrayville, lying inside the 14-incli line of rainfall. The area was originally taken up by sheep and cattle men, but reverses due to drought, vermin and other difficulties incidental to grazing an almost waterless tract of dense scrub led to the holdings, one by one, reverting to the Crown. Kow Plains Station, near Cowangie, held out until 1899. Subsequently there was no settlement until 1909. Then came the railway, the public water supply, and the sturdy wheat pioneer, equipped with his mallee roller and stump-jump implements. Where unorganised sheep pasturing failed, wheat farming has triumphed.” [Weekly Times, Melbourne 14 Mar 1925]
Precision reversing from Tornado at Heywood Station, as it prepares to pull the train for the return journey to Rawtenstall.
This area gets 20- to 30-foot tides each day and, for half of the day, the water is so high that the sea level is above the river level, causing the water to flow inland. The other half of the day, the opposite is the case. While the water flows, turbulence-causing boulders and terrain make the narrow passage impossible for boats to traverse. Only during the two slack tides each day can boats pass. These slack tides only last for 20-30 minutes. The passage, though, is really good for fishing, so fishermen will often come in during one slack tide, pull their boat up on the rocks, fish all day (effectively "stuck" in their location for the duration), then leave during the next slack tide.
This is a £20 Chinon 28-50mm f3.5 lens reverse mounted on a Nikon D2x. Lens is set to F16 , 28mm, 125th and 100 ISO each chip in the image is 6mm X 2.5mm. Lots of additional light needed courtesy of two Janso lamps. This is a single hand held shot, for such a cheap lens and a 12Mp camera I am pretty pleased with the result.
