-
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.

Updated the Purnululu (Bungle Bungles) Piccaninny Creek walkwith 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 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.
-

Another fabulous Christmas week at the coast! This year the gang rented a spacious house at Tathraon 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.
