Same goes for swooping magpies, and just about every other animal. Honestly, grow up.

Dear Australians that want to kill or remove native possums that run across their roofs or whatever.

You can't kill them, and even if you could the end result is a different possum moving in soon after.

You live on Earth, amongst animals. Learn to deal with it or suffer forever.

This ring-tailed possum has been fighting off ravens all week from his sleeping nook.

The ravens are nesting out front and are likely worried this largish ring-tail might raid their nest.

Not shooting a tonne right now while I work on bits and pieces. But I always have a camera when wandering.

Here's some afternoon light illuminating the marsh and distant trees on my walk this afternoon.

Olympus OM-D E-M5.

You can drive from Ballarat to Daylesford almost wholly via well-maintained roads, through state-forests and plantations, if you're looking to take your time.

This isn't a photo it's AI slop 🤮

Some additional shots showing the bushfire affected areas South-West of The Grampians National Park.

I studied film two decades ago but never pursued it. Now, I have the time and equipment, and am learning a lot.

Here are some assorted clips. Just practicing handling and grading.

The hope is to work on a larger project once I hit the bar I've set for myself.

1000s not 100s.

My apologies.

Another shot Border Ranges taken in 2013.

Mamiya 645 100s w/ Fuji 160C (expired)

Converted to b&w, I no longer have the original file unfortunately.

Though I don't shoot on film anymore. I got started on Nikon and Mamiya film cameras. Both medium format and 35mm.

Here's a shot from the Border Ranges taken in 2013.

I've been going through old photos on abandoned social media accounts as I spin things up again.

Long exposure taken in the hinterlands near the QLD/NSW border.

Unexpectedly overcast and looking East towards Grampians National Park from wetlands that stretch from the base. Wading in winter is not advised ❄️.

You can spend days just cruising farm roads across Victoria enjoying the people and sights. Always avoid the highways and stop often if you can.

Wind farms actually look great and we should build more.

A sandy track cuts a path through burned grasslands towards the Grampians.

Black and white felt right for this, the trees remain blackened and the white sand is stark against the charcoal and browned vegetation.

Grass Trees under moonlight near the Grampians National Park.

The area is still recovering, and not all the grass trees have survived. Disease makes their usual post-bushfire recovery treacherous.

After a prolonged drought it's great to see nearby creeks and rivers flowing again.

And a great test of Bsky's video resolution update!

Thanks Jim! You're right, bsky didn't butcher it like Instagram did 😅.

A couple of Long-Billed Corellas keeping an eye on me as the sun rises on my campsite West of the Grampians.

Excuse the ugly banding in the sky, caused by compression on upload.

Big expensive films support thousands of people and studios working on them. Who use these big projects to subsidize many many smaller projects.

Sorry if my opinion of your opinion hurt your feelings. Maybe if you can't cope, you shouldn't post your opinions?

It's for kids.

Why do we need to hate everything? In a world of AI slop we should support the arts.

Otherwise cinemas will happily install vertical screens and scroll popular tik-tok reels all day.

Went for a wander through wetlands to clear my head yesterday. Looking for wildlife but at this time of year they can be elusive.

An old derelict farmhouse stands out in a field as a large band of storms and heavy rain moves on from the area.

Applying for jobs and waiting for call backs.

Absolutely.
