Especially if it's drizzling and about to pi$$ down....

A group of brave souls went out this morning to check out the Bronte pools anyways...

I took a total of 34 photos (including test shots etc). I could probably keep just one... I can't help but feel there were quite a few shots that I missed.

For your critique. PS: Gerrry can you see the green on this one?

This shot is stunnning! The gentle light and the brooding sky is great.
Well done, the early bird got the worm! Nice work. I think this would look great biiig!
I like how the rails help lead into the shot, nice leading lines...the loan swimmer in the pool helps give a perspective on the size of things and how 'small' man is compared to nature...there's a lot to like in this pic!

I'm with Geoff! it looks great even though the sun didnt come out to play!

I did spot the green...Gerry will be pleased!

I agree that it would look great as a big picture

pfffttt.. ya call that green?!

that is one fine shot suren, compositionally, from that spot ya could have not done better - all the lines are intersecting the right bits!

With that cloud cover the possibilities with the long exposures and the pool water are endless - something you cannot get from days where the sun comes blasting up!

Thanks everyone for their comments. I did like how it looked on the camera LCD. The ones without the swimmer was definitely not as strong!

I did have my green EL wire in the bag..... Maybe we'll use it during the lightpainting meet.... Infact I think we should wrap you up in it and make a living sculpture out of it....

Hmm.. the thought did cross my mind but I was too focused on getting the bleeding swimmers to keep still... Where is that ten stopper when you need it... Infact I did have a piece of welding glass (11-12 stops I think) in my bag. Guess what color cast it produces.... I need to make that DIY stopper out of it. Need some super glue.

I have had a re-look at some of the images and managed to salvage one more...did a wee bit more processing on this one....

as long as I don't get zapped by some dodgy wiring...

I like it , good choice on the BW conversion.

It's only two AA batteries... I thought you were tougher than that...
