one last look at the sydney harbour bridge.

I took this picture on my last morning in Sydney before I headed for the airport on my way back to Bangkok. And with this I end my series on Australia.

Teddybears, Mermaids and Rubber Ducks

Last month there was a call for submission for and online exhibition being mounted by Photomedia Center entitled "The Holga Show". Fortunately when I visited Australia last August, I was spending more time using my Holga because it was the lightest camera to take around. Out of the 8 photographs I submitted to the Photomedia Center, they had chosen 1. I was so happy about this because this is the first time I am participating in an online show with credits being given to my name. I had been looking at the website of Photomedia Center the last few days and finally late last night I checked again and The Holga Show had been posted so I looked for my name in the list of 50 photographers chosen and clicked my name only to find out the final surprise......Teddybears, Mermaids and Rubber Ducks had been chosen Best of Show: Color. I rubbed my eyes to make sure that it is true! I was happy enough to be included in the exhibit but very thankful that the photograph I had sent was chosen Best of Show in its category. You can see the show following this link...The Holga Show

first trials on cross processing

I used a left over Kodak slide film that had been sitting in my ref for a few years. When it came back, was I thankful that I did not cross process the Fuji film containing the photos that I took at EKKA. It took a lot of photoshopping to get the colors where I want it to be. It seems that the pictures are a couple of stops over exposed. I will try other slide film, like the fuji Velvia 50 shot at ASA 200 and see what comes out.
