Bush Camp
Pentax S1a SLR

Campfire smoke in Flinder's Pound at a bush
camp, Outback South Australia, Easter 1966. Only dirt
and gravel 'tracks' served the area in that era, however,
it was a popular destination for the more intrepid.
Easter (autumn) was a good time to visit.

Pentax S1a SLR with 55mm f2.0 Super Takumar lens.


See it HERE

Kodak Kodachrome II

The Pentax was (is) a great camera. Instant return mirror,
automatic lenses for full aperture viewing, lightweight, and
outstanding sharp lenses. I had a Pentax clip-on-top CDS meter. full exif


other sizes: small medium large original auto

That light is incredible as is the exposure and clarity of the image. I know it's a little late but still... V.

Very fine light and excellent scan. Which kind of scanner do you use Colin?

Perfect: The cars, the person, those giant tress and the penetrating light. A Pentax winner. V

My fav, Colin. Smoke adds a mysterious and wonderful touch.
Excellent exposure control, as usual, and fabulous details. V

The toning is spectacular. Is it chemical or the natural stuff that gives the Blue Mountains their name?

Excellent shot Colin. Although this was before I was born, it reminds me of some photos my dad took, and I can remember similar scenes in the late 70s. +V

A magical scene.

Very, very special! The silhouette of the man between the huge trunks, the beautiful cars and tents... A moment you want to return to and stay if it was possible. This picture fills me with joy. Big vote
