Washed away

Surprising how when you don't use your camera for a few months , you forget how to use it.....Not that I was particularly good then either :?

Anyway, went for a drive today and took the opportunity to get some practise.

C&C appreciated.

Warning - no swimming....

This isn't as sharp as I had hoped but I was standing on this little bridge and the water kept washing over it in waves and I'd already almost lost my thongs several times. I was worried I was going to be one of those 'idiots' you see on the news that was washed away in flood water while doing something stupid.

I really didn't see the merit in taking this shot but the other half wanted me to. Probably explains why I think it's the least sharpest ("I'll do if to make you happy but don't expect a real attempt") :

Thanks,

Pretty good series there LB. Can't offer too much criticism except maybe to have tried a few from different perspectives, ie very low down, at close to water level?

Couldn't have resisted paying you out if you ended up on the news. Great friend, eh?!

Oh, where was it?

Quite reasonable PJ stuff, particularly when presented as a series. :)

Thanks for the comments guys.

Would have liked to have gotten lower, but throwing the camera into the car was a last minute decision and I wasn't wearing field clothes :(

Friend? Who? Are you still jet-lagged?

Oh, where was it?

Numinbah Valley. GC hinterland is one of my favourite places.

I thought it was in that area but I was thinking up in the Currumbin Valley.
