Really like the second. Nice recording of a historical moment. Marnie aka Doe :-) ================ Loggers and preservationists faced off in the mountains near Eden, New South Wales, in 1989. Police presence kept tempers in check. It was a running campaign of protests and counter protests, with the loggers blockading roads to keep preservationists away from logging sites, and the "greenies" attempting to infiltrate the blockaded areas overnight. After some days everyone got bored and went home. I was there for a client with some Pentaxes and a ship-load of Kodachrome. IIRC I used a Pentax SMC-M 24~35 1:3.5 for these shots. It was damn cold, and snow was on the mountain peaks. At the summit of one mountain, where the police had their radio communication centre set up in a caravan, I had to put my cameras inside my coat between shots to keep the batteries alive. These shots make me a little nostalgic for film. The time I spent retouching fungus off the images cured that nostalgia.
