Sometimes a bit of shadow, a touch of backlighting and some glare can add to a photo... it's not so straightforward as the expected "fully and evenly exposed" shot.

I'm burrowing through some old pics. This is Tri-X, 35mm, probably a 200mm lens with Pentax K2 or KX. I like the effect of these 3 RAAF F-111s dumping oil into their afterburners (I guess that's what they are doing!) - it was a spectacular air show trick at the time, but I don't they'd do this sort of thing nowadays!

Ye old fashioned steam locomotion captured on ye old fashioned Tri-X monochrome film with a 35mm Pentax camera (probably a KX) in 1976. Looks like I used about 200mm of lens here to get that compression effect, and I shot through grass to make it more interesting. So you get the combined effects of framing and the eye being led to the loco by the tracks.

Began the journey in Enmore, Sydney, Oz; drifted tectonically north after a bit to see trees and breathe air. Learnt about global warming in 1975, believed it by 1989. Warned my parents that Woy Woy would go under the waves, hasn't happened yet - but by gosh it will happen some day! Really old now, was young once. Read a few books, got too many ideas, a camera and a bike (or 10). Serial owner of Italian cars; made sense at the time. Intense. Distracted. Collected wife and kids along the way. Work in IT, because I can. Still ride and race bikes. Not overly optimistic. Live on a hill, waiting for tsunami.
