PP’ing by nature

This photo is from a trip I took in 1979 looking for Lasseter’s Reef. Shot on Kodachrome with a Nikon Photomic this WAS a photo of a Desert Oak with an eagles nest. Unfortunately the slide suffered irreparable damage when kept in a damp environment. But, there is something about this ruined pic that I like.

Chris - you're posting some incredibly diverse and amazing images this week!!
I love this...I think it would look even better with an even HIGHER contrast.
Hope you don't mind, but I had a play;



Just say the word and I will remove it if you want.

What do u think of the higher contrast?

I like the effect. It is a great abstract.. I am not sure whether I can make out the nest in there...

Chris, love the image and old enough to remember the search, you got a lot of publicity at the time. (You can reveal to me now where the reef really is )

The location was about 10 clicks SW of Eagle Bore The expedition was organised by Gerry Nolan (of Dick Smith round the world helicopter flight fame and ex-mayor of North Sydney) and he was supposedly the cook as well. But we soon sacked him on this front after having cricket spag bol and maggot ridden lamb The expedition was funded by numerous companies including Playboy. Unfortunately most of my pics (about 2,000 trannies) are now gone but I remember taking a series of our lead vehicle taking flying leaps off a sand dune, I was photographing from underneath the vehicle as it flew off.
