Got up early today, checked my internets for a while and then went to sleep. Got up again and hiked Mt. Beacon. I was looking for the junk that they have lying up there, unfortunately somebody has removed most of it, which is a pity, because I hiked up there especially to photograph them close up. I did manage to find an old fridge rusting away on the side of the trail on the way back down, so it wasn't a complete loss. Also, it was cool because I was able to do a complete round trip (I didn't have to come back the way I came) hike without having to drive anywhere! I left my house and went for a walk. It rocked.

I took mostly E-6 (slide) so it will be about two weeks before I get them back. I took a few photographs with my phone though:
Wheel House
Gears


Two pensive self portraits:


I actually like the way my camera phone totally messes up color. I know it is trying hard to get the white balance right, but it does some interesting things. I think it will be fun to experiment with.

Two photos of beacon. From where I was standing when I took the second one, one could make out the graveyard and Main Street. You can from this photograph, but they are more like blobs than actual objects.

you must have a really fancy cameraphone, because your cameraphone pictures are way better than mine.

however, i get my e6 back within 24 hours. so it evens out.

is that because of australia's hemispheric seasonal differences?
