Sunset is something that happens every single day, whether you see it or not, depending on weather conditions. It is this constant in our lives as the earth spins and we turn our backs on a sun everyday. Yet this was no ordinary sunset - this turned out to be the final sunset on the previous Coalition federal government as this day was the polling day for the 2022 federal election. One may say the Australian democratic way of life, and the changes of government that come with it, is in as much a state of flux as it is a constant - governments come and go, and our institutions and fundamental systems carry on to keep everything ticking along. The Earth orbits around the sun and spins, though the Earth's tilt coupled with the orbit mean the sun rises and sets in a different bearing each day. Throw weather in the mix and having to be in the right place at the right time, it called for a bit of luck to capture this sunset. It may well be just as the saying goes - 'the only constant is change'. Exposed on Kodak Ultramax 400 | Developed and scanned by Walkens House of Film
Chromogenic prints are printed on paper that has at least three emulsion layers containing invisible dyes and silver salts. Each emulsion layer is sensitive to a different primary colour of light (red, green or blue). The development process converts the hidden dyes to visible colour depending on the amount of light it was exposed to. This type of paper is commonly used to print from colour negatives or digital files to produce a full-colour image. It can also be used to print black-and-white images, giving softer grain and less contrast than gelatin silver prints. Commonly known as c-type prints, chromogenic processing was developed in the 1940s and widely used for colour printing, including for domestic snapshots. While recent years have seen this process accompanied by ink-jet and digital printing technologies, chromogenic printing still remains in use to this day.
