I captured this picture of a tribe worker at work during my visit to Chiangmai, Thailand in 1978. The added light Cyan colour derivation with diazochrome film helped to tone down the glare of the misty backdrop and created a bias relief effect. This was a winning slide (Agfa Bronze Award) of the 1982 Adelaide International Salon in Australia.
The colour and lines are quite obvious in this image which is further enhanced visually by the touch of human interest. I wish Photoshop was available in those days to lessen the time-consuming darkroom and retouching work put into it. This slide was awarded Honourable Mention of the 22nd Santa Clara International Salon, USA, held in 1977.
This image of board surfing was captured along the coast while I was in Fremantle, Western Australia, in 1990. Good vantage point, back-lit lighting conditons, gorgeous colours are the important elements of this picture. The decisive-moment nature of the shot was a challenge to capture, providing visual impact to the final shot.
