The previous post entitled Nostalgic Pleasures #3 gives the background to my experiment in a minor key of using 35mm expired Fuji Velvia 50 film and a 1960's Zeiss-Ikon Contaflex Super SLR camera. The picture below was made whilst I was wandering in the area around Bunjils Cave in the Black Range Scenic Reserve, adjacent to the Grampians (Gariwerd) in Victoria in the late afternoon in spring.
The photography that day was chance encounters in a rugged, harsh and messy landscape, which had a history of being burnt from bushfires and with a probable future of becoming warmer and drier: increasing dryness with more hotter days (greater than 35°C) whilst the spells of warmer temperatures will last longer. The climate models indicate that the temperatures will increase by 1.9°C----2.5°C by around mid-century.
