Lete's pause here and see how the same pretty scene looks in "Pro" mode o_O on my phone. What you reckon? True dinks, it looks very ... bland, on first sight, but then, all things change (a lot!) when you bring out a proper camera under proper pro control!! :p

Loneliness of a long-living plum-tree

Dog Rocks, Batesford, Victoria, Australia.

Pentax 67 + RVP50 w/ 90mm f2.8 UV(0) multispot MWA metered.

Printed 12x16" Kodak Endura Professional metallic. In priv. col.

 

This very old, weather-beaten prickly plum is the sole remaining tree standing where once a granite quarry

was worked very close by. It stands on an isolated high granite plateau, surrounded by modern

new homes, so this is not a 'wilderness' shot, but I've tried to make it so! :p I had to get down low

and dirty so as not to include distant HV power lines, TV antennas and wandering stock behind the rocks!

of Burra in South Australia. A heavily stylised and distorted image of this ruin featured on

Midnight Oil's 1987 album, Diesel and Dust. The ruin is on the bucket list of many international travellers

These are crazy cool shots. Really nice. Too bad drum scans have fallen out of vogue because all the photos I've even seen that were drum scanned look SO great.

I'd actually LOVE to have a drum scanner and learn how to use it well.

Thanks for your comment. It is a beautiful place and almost like it was made to be photographed

The prints themselves are far and above way better to look at than the scans, which are not optimised for web viewing (only print production). I think the drum scan ship has sailed. Realistically, we have only 5-6 more years of productive use of drum scanners of any persuasion, as spare parts, so critical to their continuing reliable operation and upkeep, are becoming harder to find. By the time they go the way of the dodo, I will have fully retired and wouldn't care too much (photography will not feature in my retirement!) :p
