Vintage Photo - Destroyer HMAS Warramunga.


Destroyer HMAS Warramunga 2800tons 23/3/1957
About eight or nine years ago (before digital and I was starting to shoot copious amount of slides)  I found a nice leather slide box in a op shop on Pt Road. I thought it would be perfect to keep my slide's in. When I opened it I found it was half full of slide from the late 1950's to the mid 1960's .  What's even better they were labeled and dated . I have just got a new scanner so I can now digitise this collection . The only thing I don't know is who is the photographer or what camera he used? 

 The style the youth has with his bike is so hipster and a juxtaposition against the destroyer in the background. It would have been shot on the docks at Pt Adelaide, South Australia.

On Ice.

Charlotte Kelly on the ice.

Carlotte and Kiera endured the cold for Sam Dornig's last shoot for with the mail a while. The medium Chimera  is getting a good run latley on the acute 600b, it is the only light source in Charlotte's single shot. I also didn't realise how much condensation would form on all the lights.
