Autumn Colours in Canberra
Early morning walks in Australia's capital with the Ricoh GRiii
Canberra might only be 90 minutes by air from Brisbane, but it’s almost another world. While we were still enjoying summer-like conditions in early May, temperatures in Australia’s capital were a lot cooler.
It wasn’t just the temperatures that were different - the spectacular colours of Autumn were on show in Canberra. I was awestruck by the greens, yellows, oranges and reds, silmultaneously feeling jealous that we don’t have this spectacle in sub-tropical Brisbane.
Both mornings I braved the chilly weather and went walking with my cameras. Being a work trip, I took the 2 smallest ones I own for both film and digital: the Ricoh R1s and the Ricoh GRiii Diary Edition. I’ve only just sent the film off to my lab, but I hope you enjoy these digital images.
I’m still getting used to all the settings and controls on the GRiii - there are features I haven’t used yet and features I don’t even understand.
I’m more selective of what I shoot now, so using the Ricoh GRiii as an everyday digital carry is helping me pursue photography without worrying about the availability of colour negative film.
Is there any film left in Japan?
Finally another YouTube video has landed! I hope you enjoy this 21 minute epic production where I explore the question “Is there any film left in Japan?”. Let me know what you think of it here on Substack or on YouTube.
