Check out these crazy drivers
Heading down Ferntree Gully towards Eastlink overpass with Chesterfield Farm on the left, looked like Indian or Paki driving late model vehicles – WTF.

2015 photo folder
Another year another camera folder, as you can see from the screen capture started taking digital photos way back in 1997 before they became mainstream – OMG

Vapour trails…
Vapour trails…left behind by some sort of twin jet engine aircraft. By the time I grabbed my Kodak Z730 camera to take snaps the vapour trails had already started to merge together.

Storm photos
In our street water was lapping onto the nature strips.
In the next street down from us the road was a river!

I purchased this camera in 1998 at a time whem most people would not have heard of digital cameras. It cost $1600 dollars – OMG
I still have this cameraa in perfect working order and take it out for a Sunday drive. Always amazed at the pictures it produces from a 1.3mp CCD.
One issue was battery consumption, a set of 4 NMHI batteries and a charger was supplied. In the late 90’s NiMH batteries did not pack a lot of power (lower current ratings) and were expensive. I had several sets in the bag to keep me going for a couple of hours and always putting the camera into standby between shots.
