One of the few old yellowwood trees that survived the clear cutting. There’s been a lot of replanting and preservation to try to undo the damage of colonial exploitation of resources - the same kind of exploitation still going on full-tilt in Central Africa.</p> <p>This is another one from my expired film test in Knysna back in September with <a href="https://instagram.com/sophdex">@sophdex</a> and Jinty and Jinty’s wonderful kids.</p> <p>This was also the first real test of using the F100 with the modern 24-120 stabilised lens - getting sharp results at 1/15th of a second handheld. There are only a handful of Nikon film cameras that can use stabilised lenses. Quite a few Canons though, I believe.</p>
