If there are diverse kinds of knowledge and ways of knowing place, then we need to learn to value the different ways each of us sees a single place that is significant, but differently so, for each perspective.

the photographer at work « Previous | |Next »
October 28, 2010

It was an afternoon of large format photography down at Victor Harbor today. It was warm, overcast and still. Ideal conditions for this kind of landscape photography:

I was using the Linhof 5x4 Technika not the 8x10 Cambo. I'm simply unable to carry the 8x10 Cambo camera plus the the big Linhof tripod to support it's weight and on my own for a kilometre or so from where I park the car down to the rocks. I was even struggling with the 5x4 in a Lowe Pro Trekker pack, a Linhof tripod, and a digital camera.

This is much more sensible:

A DSLR and a carbon fibre tripod. The gear can be carried in one hand.
