What a lovely surprise! If you can't find the film camera - I've a Pentax one sitting in my place that I can pass along. The lenses I have for it mean I can go for f8 on them all. And I also noticed that the battery drained quite quickly - it may have been sitting in the shop for awhile given it isn't a regular type of one. There if you want to have a play with that film you've scored!

The bag is a perfect size for the Pentax 17 I think, my 17 is due to be delivered this week.

Pentax has zero support in the USA. I remember when they were in Colorado when it was still Pentax under Hoya, those guys had all but given up, but you could call them and ask them tech questions and they would do their best. Under Ricoh, in the USA, they use the same call center that handles Ricoh's copiers and it's worthless. Ah, but then Americans only want the newest and shiniest stuff even if it's not as good. 🙂 Nice bag o' goodies!

Ah - kunanyi is one of my go to places. Especially the tracks lower down. Haven't been up the top for a bit. Quintessential Tassie alpine scenes there Pete. You can sense the change through the video. Glad you got out to recharge a bit.

Lovely

A wonderfully mature and interesting discussion. Thank you.

Great video and nice to be out 🙂👍

I so should have watched this before I went to the Mt Wellington summit last Saturday. One thing I love about Tassie is the unique alpine plants, a great carpet of foliage colour

Thanks for another look at the Tasmanian landscape.

Where do you go recharge?

We needed a second tighter shot of you on the bridge from the bridge. Keeping that whole line with you so far off started out nice but we should have seen you up closer sooner. Good stuff otherwise.

What are your necessary items?

It is too hard to resist new gear if the opportunity comes up😀

Fantastic. Your mid winter weather looks like our mid summer weather😀Thanks for another great video.

You didn't sleep through the May 11 Aurora did you? Great to see some adventuring with friends and family in a beautiful part of Tassie.

I’m a bit late, sorry! No. 5 really stands out to me, I love the way the foreground reflection mirrors the sunlit rocks in the top half. Fantastic job at combining all the strongly contrasting elements! 👍

You definitely inspire me to shoot my K1 more often. The images that camera makes are the closest to film (other than the K3 Monochrome) I've ever seen from a digital camera. If I can only remember what "Miyobi" and "Satobi" means... 🙂🙂

Yeah nice. Love Snug Falls. It is one walk and falls I keep going back to. Different every time really. We did see a snake or two when we went in summer - right about where you standing for the third composition in close on the right side of the falls for one of those snakes! You did well seeing what was possible. I really enjoyed seeing a familiar place being explored and played with. As for which I like - it's a toss up between 2 and 4.

3 !!!

Thanks again. Plenty of action happening behind you and seems like a popular spot at least that day.

Having recently reinvigorated my passion for macro after switching to an OM-1 and the OM 90mm I was looking for subjects to chase in the cooler months. That's when I discovered both Tim and This Forest Floor on Instagram. Between Tim and Jamie's work, I have found so much inspiration. I have spent a heap of time recently chasing fungi in the Otways, and had the most amazing day where I found both my first fruiting slime mould and also a lifer for me, my first Velvet worm. Thanks, Pete for a great video, and thanks Tim for the enthusiasm, passion and inspiration. Post Script, Tim's landscapes you shared here, are amazing.

Wow - I really enjoyed that. Interesting to get a feel for some local Tassie photographers and their work. I think sometimes we're a little underrated, and possibly unknown in the grand scheme of things. Tassie has so much to offer and we just don't have far to go to be out in it!

Wow that was great I think Tim needs more credit for the work he does! Can't wait till the exibition.

Thanks again for an interesting topic. Brought back many memories from film days. Great photos too!

Love that compositional idea - a piece of gold!!! Definitely taking that one along with me.

Great tutorial and awesome looking photos once again. Thanks!

I learnt a great deal from your video. I’m looking forward to following & learning 👏

Went out twice last week and was very disappointed both times. Thought I got some good stuff and got home and wasn't happy with anything. It happens. That looks more like a jungle than a forest, but it's still pretty and looks like great photographic possibilities if you can get access. Any rumors of Tasmanian Tigers around? Just curious if there's any local knowledge the rest of the world isn't privy to. 🙂 Great video. Nicely put together.

The lens you use on the OM1 is that a Olympic lens or another brand.?

I have to say this Tim is mistaken when he says that the magnification ration of the lens is doubled because it is on a M43 format camera. All that gets changed is the field of view not the laws of physics.

Does Tim not have a CZcams channel?

Great video mate i always am inspired when we get out in the bush!!!

Thanks for sharing one more awesome Tasmania video. Cockatoos are pretty but they sure don't sound pretty😀

Very nice interview and discussion. With very good photos in the links provided. I have just started my journey in close up photography with insects. With regard to polarisers there used to be a person on the Mu-43 forum that used two polarisiers and sheet polarising material to control reflections and hot spots on spiders etc Unless I missed it what type of diffuser does Tim use for in camera stacking and single focus shots? I am also an Olympus/OM user and learning to focus stack is high on my to do list. Tried hand held but not too successfull.

That was such a great conversation to sit in on. Tim's work is incredible. I love the enthusiasm he had too.

You are indeed in a great part of the world. Thanks for the reminder to take a long look into the world and just be - notice and pay attention to what's beyond our computer screens etc. South Arm is good for that too - haven't been there in awhile.

Nice video !

Good questions, interesting answers - thanks for the intro to Tim Grimsby and the joys of photographing in Tasmania.

Thanks for sharing. Beautiful scenery over there.

Really good! Incredible pics, but is it enough to get me out at ungodly hours...its close!

Love this one mate short but sweeeeeet !!!

Glad you've joined the marine macro world of Tasmania you cannot find a better subject in my opinion

The Pentax K1 has such a nice film like rendering for a digital camera. Now that I'm shooting more film I've come to appreciate it even more.

Lots of familiar rocks there.

Thanks again Pete i had such a great time doing this with you 🙂

Nice video man. My question is regarding shooting with an IR filter, which I have tried myself. How do you nail focus with it as focus is different for infrared light? A vintage lens with red IR markings is one way I guess. But focusing and then putting on IR filter on with a modern lens doesn’t work due to the IR needing different focus as I said. 👍📸
