Loco 7A, a 2'6" gauge 2-6-2 tank loco. Most railway in Victoria is 5'3" but 4 of these narrow gauge lines were added where heavy rail wasn't justified, mostly due to hilly country. Puffing Billy heritage railway on a drizzly dismal Melbourne morning. Some B/W shots from a few days in the state of Victoria January 1972 (When I find the slides of the trip I'll be able to locate each photo).

Have a nice bench day. A bench without a back seems a waste of materials. How can one relax on it? Tamworth's Bicentennial Park. April 2022. HBM for 20/05/24

My entry to Worldwide Pinhole Photography Day, 24/04/2022 this year, with a PiP showing the gear used. The photo is from the upstairs back window looking across some backyards to part of the front of a house on the other side of the next street. pinholeday.org We see the top of the Hills Hoist clothes line, the mandarin tree and the paling fence. Over the fence is a shade house. Beyond that in the next house is a steel workshop. Lastly is the front of a house in the next street. The centre object in the PiP is a short extension tube for my Minoltas SRT101/100. The pinhole is in heavy aluminium foil. The foil was originally the seal on a tin of 'Milo' chocolate drink powder. It has been glued to the lens face of the extension tube and a tiny hole made in the centre. The left hand side object is an adapter for Minolta MC/MD lenses to 4/3 camera lens mount. On the right hand side is my Olympus E410 with which the photo was taken. This is a photo taken with the Minolta years ago: www.ipernity.com/doc/grahamh/24038633 This is a photo taken with the Minolta's 58mm lens: www.ipernity.com/doc/grahamh/24038661 This shows an approximately 60mm focal length equivalent for 35mm film so ~30mm on a 4/3 sensor.

My pinhole gear. Mouse-over to see what each item is.
