Lots of film bodies, a couple of digital ones, too many lenses (mainly older glass) and a Horseman LE 5x4.

Nice on Chris, the figure gives all important scale.

Interested to know how you took the image from film to digital.

Well captured Kris - not the typical shot of this

I like it a lot
K10D, K5 plus plenty of clueless enthusiasm.

I paid the developer to scan the roll at low res. If I need a hi res version I have a Minolta Scan Dual II.

I'm afraid not and am, in fact, back in the UK now. I spent a week in Perth and five days in Sydney before heading off to the next conference.

Best wishes, Kris.

An unusual and effective take on the building, Kris. Glad you're back safe; hope you had a good trip and didn't have to spend too muh time in stuffy conference halls.
Best wishes,

Andrew

Thanks Andrew. It was a good trip but giving five papers in three continents in a month was a bit exhausting. At least I'm back home now for a short while before my next trip to Ogallala, Nebraska!

Cheers, Kris.

And I was naive enough to think that the boundaries of international archaeology were being relentlessly pushed back on this trip... I should have known better, I suppose.
Best wishes,

Andrew
