Some scans from slide film, taken with my 60-odd-year-old Meopta Flexaret IIa twin lens reflex camera (a few more photos of the camera itself are here).

Fujifilm Velvia 50 is renowned for its rich colours. It has only recently come back into production so I thought I would give a 120 roll a whirl with my Flexaret TLR while holidaying in Victoria. Here are some results:
I will certainly be using Velvia 50 again.

In a nutshell:
- Melbourne’s traffic is crazy (hook turns aplenty), but somehow seems more pedestrian friendly than Brisbane. Much larger footpaths in the CBD.
- There are a hell of a lot of little alleys with cafes, and many alleys with decidedly more dodgy things.
- The Great Ocean Road is spectacular, Torquay is a dusty glary overpriced mediocre town, Port Campbell is much nicer … amazing picturesque sheltered bay, nice cafes.
- Warrnambool is a very well maintained, beautiful town with many beautiful buildings. If I had more time I would have taken some photos there.
- Bojangles Pizza in Warrnambool is highly recommended. Far from being a stock standard pizza takeaway, it is a friendly dine-in and takeaway establishment providing quality service, decent prices and spectacular fare.
- There are many chocolate shops in Melbourne
- Max Brenner is Satan incarnate.
- If you ever have the opportunity to see and Iron Maiden show once in your life, take it. F-cking Awesome. Twenty foot flames, pyrotechnics, and an 8 Foot Eddie walking around the stage, anyone? Not to mention Bruce Dickinson’s downright amazing vocals and stage presence, and a nearly-thirty-year back catalogue of classics. Brilliant.
- Go to Imax and see a 3D movie. Doesn’t matter which one, just give it a shot. Also, the museum is great - okapis and live funnelwebs!
- Next time I’m going for longer
Here’s a photo from the great ocean road - more to come later.
