Today I had a valuable reminder that sometimes you do not need to spend heaps of money on that SLR Camera, the expensive lens, the filters and the tripod in order to get a great photo.

I went up to Mt Field National Park again today with a friend – she has not been there before. I went up with every intention to shoot 3 different waterfalls in preparation for a calendar I wanted to publish. I also wanted a couple of portrait pictures for this website & publicity.

I handed her my Canon Powershot G3. This was my first “serious” Camera, and was one of the most expensive Digital point & shoots you could buy before just purchasing a DSLR, and I used it religiously until the purchase of my EOS 400D in 2008.

After taking a photo of the friend to show her the sort of picture I was after, She took a couple of shots and we continued on our journey. We had an enjoyable day exploring the National Park – though I always seem to run out of time to do what I want to do there.

Launceston Floods

I don’t normally try to take advantage of current events with old photography, but seeing there is such an interest I am going right ahead anyway. In the last week or so the Cataract Gorge in Launceston has been in flood as the Trevallyn Dam spills. This is always quite a spectacular site. These photos were taken a while ago now, but the impact remains the same.

Here’s a photo from the vault, one of Salamanca place at night. I particularly like this one as the halogen lighting only serves to enhance the colours of the sandstone buildings. Salamanca Place is perhaps the most historic precinct in Hobart, with roots going back to the early days of the settlement of Tasmania.
