King's Lantern Slide Projector - a photo on Flickriver

Herbert John King (1892–1973) was born in Hobart, the son of a bicycle manufacturer. In 1900 he moved with the family to Launceston, where the family company started manufacturing motorcycles. Ever the adventurer, H.J. (as he was widely known) started riding as well. He used the bikes to get him to then remote regions like Cradle Mountain.

In 1912 he joined the Northern Tasmania Camera Club, and began winning competitions.
“A self-taught amateur, technically innovative and painstaking, King experimented with a range of colour processes (for slides and 16-mm movies) and with specialized techniques, including panorama, infra-red, aerial and time-lapse photography.” He was one of the very first Australian photographers to engage in some of these techniques, especially Infra Red and Time-lapse photography.

H.J. King became synonymous with his lantern slide shows as people filled local halls to see his latest photographs from the wilderness areas.
