Quiet Stroll On Marroondah Dam Victoria Australia.


Found this photo in my archives. I liked it so much, so I posted it.

Wally, This is a cool shot. I definately see why you pulled it out of archives. Love the detail, contrast and mood of the whole thing. Nice job.

This shot was nearly B+W when i took it, didn't take much to rip out the last bit of colour to enter it in the competition over at CR.


It's a canal boat in fog, between RIjswijk and Delft (which is part of the main canal from Rotterdam to Amsterdam) near where I used to work in the Netherlands, taken with my lensbaby one morning (i got the early tram and got off a stop early to take photos one day).


The best bit about it is its environmental message, which is out of frame; on the side there's a banner which translates to "here travels a traffic jam of 16 trucks". Kind of takes you back to the 19th century (if it weren't for the car on the back of the barge).

Yep agreed Dr. it does have an old time feel to it. A good B&W. Who pays the ferryman???


@Wally, great shot mate, it has that ability to draw you in and wonder what

Wonderful portrait, Wally! Perfect b&w conversion!

I thought I would try a little slow shutter speed w/ nd filter. Hopefully the next time I try it, I will have a more interested subject and composition!
