Bohemian has sent in this one. It was taken on a film camera on Mothers’ Day, developed, scanned, emailed, and now posted for your enjoyment.

Thanks Bohemian, you’ve reminded me to take the family for a Sunday picnic this comming weekend.

It’d be nice to get those leaves for mulch…. not much mulch out here, unless one uses the roos.

looks like it was taken in the 70’s

Same here. (I miss bouncing along the pedestrian bridge near the dam though.)

Thanks! We had a lovely picnic lunch at Cotter and the view was absolutely stunning.

Hmmm…I’ve only recently started using film because I was given a manual SLR to play with. I’ve not used one since 2001. So this is purely experimental but I’m liking it, matte or otherwise.

I find quite a lot of women are still shooting film.

I suspect this is to do with the different reasons driving their desire to photograph.

Basically they’re doing it for the pretty shiny bit of paper and see no advantage in an upgrade as far as I can tell.

Ummm… what is film?

A filum camera! Amazing how quickly they have been surpassed, and all but forgotten.

Nice pic.

In Autumn? Who would have thought!

That’s some good turning leaves right there.
