The image below was taken a few minutes after yesterday’s shot with the sun bisected on the horizon. The film stock was Fuji Provia 100 ISO. I’m not sure if the film now 23 years old, is suffering from aging or original reciprocity failure.
Of course, I was in Brunei to look for (more) oil. This is a shot I took of a jackup drilling rig and supply boat at sunset one evening. I’m standing on the beach and my best guess is I used a 500mm for this shot.
I was taken with the speed delivered by these twin, 2.6 liter, V6, 175 horse-power Yamaha outboards. That was, until our Mr. Fixit started telling stories about these boats hitting trees floating down-river.
I’d only been in Brunei a few days when the Rasau 17 well blew out. The escaping gas caught fire on April 25, 1989 which puts a date on this image.
This ‘nodding donkey’ was whirring away on the beach near High Island in Texas. The sun is still a 33 minutes away from breaking above the horizon.
