Franklin Folk Music Night

I photographed the Franklin Folk Club music night on Saturday. It was a lot of fun. Apart from photographs of the actual musicians, I made sure I captured the spirit of the occasion in this gallery. Franklin’s own Dan Rawlins was a support last Saturday evening for Franklin Folk Club – Tobias Hengeveld . Held within the The Franklin Palais Theatre’s Main Hall, known as The Social Heart of the Huon Valley. The Main Hall is well heated, accessible and comfortable.  We had several acts, including a songstress with a ucayali from Belgium! The quality of the acts was amazing,

The Tall Ships Are Coming!

The Australian Wooden Boat Festival is happening in Hobart starting tomorrow. I had been trying to make it to photograph the Living Boat Trust vessels, but the weather had not cooperated with the schedule! Then last night, I was alerted that Soren Larsen would be at Woodbridge in Tasmania. What I didn’t realise is three others would be there too! I was a good morning 🙂 So I took my DJI Mavic 3 Classic drone and Pentax K-1 full frame camera and headed off first thing. It was so worth it! I flew the Mavic 3 near the ships in
