Seaweed Sunbaking

[Alan]

With the Coopix S31. Reminded me a bit of Max Dupain's iconic photo 'The Sunbaker'

Wow, I like this idea, the colours work well together ...I've said it before, but I'd normally walk past something like this and never give it a second thought.

Nice, the colour of the weed works well with the sky.

Thanks Gaz - as my sig says, "Still trying to make the ordinary look extraordinary".

I'd be very reluctant to put my DSLR down on the sand - but had no worries about putting the waterproof Coolpix there, esp as I knew what it's lens could do at such close range.

It's a rule bird and child portrait togs must know backwards - 'Get down to the level of your subject'

Thanks Greg, blue and gold work well together. I would prefer if they were our National Colours, (think Wattle blossom against a blue, Spring sky)

I think we have to 'thank' Bob for the Green and Gold

I wasn't familiar with Max Dupain's image, thanks for sharing that.

And I certainly agree that blue and yellow would be preferable to the current choice.

I love a sunburnt country doesn't ring true with one of the national colours being green.

(What a wonderful thread that was!)

The second image I captured with my first camera was wattle against the impossibly blue sky at Marble Bar. The wattle was hopelessly oof but let's not dwell on that, sky detail was perfect!

The first image was of my guitar...an image I proceeded to massacre and totally destroy in photoshop. Those were the days.

Ahhh memories, so happy I have managed to retain at least a few, now, where was I...

Oh yes, wonderful image Alan.

That is beautiful and a perfect example of the impact getting low gives.
