adventure "down under"
« on: September 20, 2010, 08:21:45 PM »
Just returned from a three week adventure "down under".   :)
It rained like crazy for part of the trip, but no worries since it's all part of the adventure.  Got to spend some time with fellow filmwaster Cameron Stephen while outside Melbourne.  No video as planned, but will share some more pix as I get them developed and scanned.

Melbourne, Canberra, Parkes, Ayers Rock, Alice Springs and Sydney.
Holga with Kodak 160VC

Nice one, Becky. Three weeks, I hope you had the best of times.

'The Dish' shot is a killer.

Very nice. Do you find that the xray has affected the pictures ? I cannot tell.

They must get a lot of channels in that house.

the "dish" was my favorite place, but then I have a major weakness for big dishes!   :)

I haven't noted any ill effects from the x-ray.  The ones for carry-on are not as "beefy" as the checked baggage ones, and the one airport security guy I talked to said any speed below 400 was good to go through.

The folks in Los Angeles hand inspected my films coming and going without so much as blinking about doing so.
I had the rolls loose in clear zip lock bags so they were easy to inspect.
