The Rusty Ruin Journal

Somehow, after convincing myself I’d only take my best lenses on holiday and also keep my camera bag lightweight, I ended up tossing in the 2007-made Kodak Easyshare C875.

The annual road-trip is imminent and my day has been spent madly tying up loose ends at work, checking spare SD cards, and packing last minute camera items.

There’s nothing like a lengthy road-trip to focus the mind of a photographer on gear and bags ~ squeezing the right gear into the right bags, specifically.

In consideration of an upcoming lengthy winter road-trip, I’m thinking about camera bags again.

Sometimes, it’s instructive to go back to old colour photos and convert them to monochrome.

Coloured filters have a long history in black and white film photography.

The clouds were thick and grey and the forest very quiet.

I had a gift voucher burning a hole in my pocket when I saw the Camp Snap Pro behind glass in the shop.

It feels like a long time since I’ve had the opportunity to go on a photo-walk.

Part of my photographic practice is curating photos and choosing the ones that speak to me.

My tardiness in editing photos from a Darwin-bound road-trip that happened in 2023 pales next to the age of the indigenous art on the ancient rocks at the Ubirr historical site.
