Image of Late summer evening, Dunkeld, 2004 – Limited edition of 100

The sun was behind me and suddenly appeared low in th ehoriszon, juts before it was to set. in front of me the whole scene, dominated by a 500 year old Murray River Redgum lit up dramatically. The yellow light accentuating the extroninadry contrast from the bright dry grass to the dark sky.

Using a Hassablad panoramic film camera (note the tell-tale nick in the top right film border), I only had to add a little yellow filtration to balance the tonal range.

Usually making a photograph like this in the darkroom requires a great deal of 'burning and dodging' ( adding and subtracting light), but incredibly – and I say this happens perhaps once in a couple of thousand prints – this was a straight print. So an image with little manipulation – but a great deal of luck.

This photograph is from the hardcover publication 'A Dunkeld Portfolio'.

In late 2002, invited by Alan and Maria Myers, Richard Crawley spent an extraordinary 18 months on a methodical yet meandering photographic odyssey in and around the small Victorian western district town of Dunkeld (population 400), and the surrounding countryside. This resulted in the successful hardcover publication ‘A Dunkeld Portfolio’.
