Continuing the exploration of my film negatives from my Western Australia trip of 1990 and today we look at another multi-frame panorama. Part of my journey included some hiking in the Stirling Ranges in the south of WA where I took this series of 4 frames with the thought of one day creating a panoramic. As was [...]

Another shot from last years Egypt trip. This image was taken from a hot air balloon just outside the town of Luxor. If you look at the left side of the image you can see the shadow cast by the balloon that I was in at the time. The image is a panorama formed by [...]
