Sweet Colin. I like the warm tones on the dock/wharf.
What is the temperature at that time of the day you took the picture?
It's on the cold side, isn't it since you're in the Southern Hemisphere

Hi Pete,

Sorry - I missed your post before now - It's winter here and that was taken about 3/4 hour after sunset - pretty chilly!

In terms of colour temperature, the I pretty much ran with what the camera suggested - it's somewhat under-exposed (mood shot) so the colours look very saturated, and the lighting on the side of the wharf comes from sodium lighting (off memory).

Ok, I'm in.

The competition is heating up - best I have a backup plan!

Do you think you'll keep in touch?
(or was it just a holiday friendship)


Nice pic

One of my dogs this morning on a nice walk!




Just getting to grips with the new camera really!

Sure, if anyone, you need a back up plan

I reckon - look what happened to me last month - beaten into 2nd place by one of my protégés. Indeed, I fear that the student has become the master! And to make things even worse, this Alis guy has gotten really good too!

But you are lucky, you work in landscape category, for some reason, it is a winning category, no matter what

And to make things even worse, this Alis guy has gotten really good too!

Thanks! I don't know about really good, but I am at a point now, that I get it right 50% of the time

[Dave Humphries]

Ah, but you have a model (your son) that has an exceedingly expressive and photogenic face

It's almost unfair Alis

Yeah! I reckon we should start a petition to get this Alis person banned (and a few others!) Mauhahahaha!

(Just kidding!)

Thanks, Dave. Honestly, I think I have a very good camera and lens collection too! That part I agree is unfair, at least to the Nikonians...

By the way, how come the title of this post is not photo challenge?

Start a petition huh? Pretending to be democratic? They don't know but I know how many of my posts you have deleted to win the challenge...

(Just kidding)

Because it got broken a few posts back.
I have fixed the last half dozen or so

Well spotted, did you need your Canon for that too?
