First Budawangs trip after the 2019-2020 fires: Nerriga to Binnari Pass. The good news is that there's a lot of regrowth, but it's going to take years for the understory to reestablish and the wildlife to return.

-
Added the four day Wilsons Promontory loop walk

A new image from the 2014 Outback New South Wales trip. I used to think this one wasn't up to scratch, but with a bit of judicious processing I think it's come up quite nicely.
-
I walked the eastern half of the Larapinta Trail again in June 2016, but I didn't come back with many images this time. This one was worth keeping though. It was a great trip, even if things didn't exactly go to plan.
-
Added the Tarkine Coast walk. I did this walk as part of Tarkine in Motion 2016.

I saw this wandering around Queenstown TasmaniaAdded this image from the Tarkine Coast walk.

Added some images from the Jatbula Trail walk to the landscapes gallery
-
Added three new images to People (Head Turning, Indian Photographer, Diwali). They're all scanned from 35mm negatives that I shot many years ago. They're pretty grainy, but I think that's part of what makes them work as images.
-
Another Spring, another cycle tour: Jindabyne to Falls Creek and back.
-
Added a couple of images from the 2014 Spring cycle tour to the colour landscapes gallery.

-
New landscape image: Two Trees on Mt Sturgiss. I actually took this shot many years ago, but I've only just got around to producing a decent digital version of it.
-
Updated the Purnululu (Bungle Bungles) Piccaninny Creek walk with new, re-scanned and reprocessed images. All these images are scanned from 35mm transparencies, and after a bit of post-processing I think they've come up really well. I've discovered that darktable is just as happy processing the TIF files from my scanner as it is processing the raw files from my digital camera, so I think I'll re-scan and process a bit more of my film archive using it.
-
Added the 2013 PedalPower East Gippsland cycle tour. A nine-day cycle tour through north-east Victoria. Pelicans included.
-
Added images from my third Karijini trip. I just spent two weeks in and around Karijini National Park with four other photographers, and I think these are some of the best images yet. All these images were processed using darktable, an open source photography workflow application and raw developer. I'm very impressed with it.
-
Added another Budawangs walk: Wog-Wog to Styles Creek.
-
Enough of this colour nonsense - let's get back to real photography. I've been scanning a bunch of 35mm black-and-white negatives from my archives recently. This one is from a 1992 cycle tour in Norway.

Another fabulous Christmas week at the coast! This year the gang rented a spacious house at Tathra on the south coast of New South Wales. I spent a lot of the time eating and sleeping, but found enough time to do some short walks around the area.
-
I've been scanning more 35mm film. I've added a couple of black-and-white images to the People gallery - one from a snow-camping trip in the '90s and another from my 1987 India trip. It's been so long since I've done anything with a 35mm silver-halide negative I'd almost forgotten what film-grain looked like. For these two images I think it actually looks quite nice.
-
I've finished re-scanning and re-processing the 2003 Larapinta Trail images. These were taken on 35mm slide film — Kodak Elite Chrome 200 I think.
-
