This is a departure from my ususal postings and is inspired by Martin's 2006 post called Monochrome Brisbane. I had to make a trip across town the other evening and decided to take the opportunity and stop at the top of the Kangaroo Pt cliffs with camera and tripod. The original colour versions of these are posted at another site, but I decided to desaturate them and also post here. I will need to revisit this location with some trusty HP5 loaded to experiment more with exposure and composition. (Mamiya 645pro, sekor 80mm f2.8, f11, Kodak Portra 400vc @ 400)

Hello Boyd, I saw these on Vazaar the other evening after you mentioned your little detour to the cliffs. Beautiful colour in the original. With your confidence growing in the Mamiya, I guess we are going to see a lot more square shots on MB from here on in. I wonder if that will lead to an obvious shift in the way you choose and compose subjects? The shot of the Captain Cook bridge is fantastic and gets my vote!
Hey, thanks Martin. The 645 is an interesting format, but I chose square with this one because it just seemed to work better. I feel as though I still have so much to learn with the camera, and then there is the little subject of lens acquisitions that need to be made ...
