My holidays are over. It's back to policy work.Unfortuantely, I didn't get as much photography done as I had planned, which was disappointing. Two thirds was achieved.
I was unable to use the 5x4 Linhof Technika to explore the dried out parts of the River Murray, due to the continual rain throughout the fortnight. I had just managed to pull the 5x4 out of the cupboard and play with it. The film slides remained unloaded. So the return to landscape proper to explore the effects of the drought will have to wait.
I did manage to begin working with Adobe Lightroom---hesitantly on the Macbook. Heistantly is the operative word as I work withe manual in front of me.

I broke my camera last night taking photos of a cactus in bloom. I dropped and it bounced off my shin on to the concrete. The lens wont extract/retract anymore. Which is a bummer as I am going to have to replace it now. It gave good service over the last 18 months or so.
