Palm Pilot

It's Just Fine And Dandy

Photograph copyright: DAVID McMAHON


This photograph was taken from inside my car, at a traffic intersection in Dandenong, the Melbourne suburb that is best known as ``Dandy''. No filters. No special effects. I was just transfixed by the silhouette of the palm trees and the traffic lights, as well as the striking colours of the evening sky, in contrast to the two tiny splashes of red on the traffic signals.

What kind of camera do you use, David? I'm guessing it's not a $99 HP? Dang, my pics never come out this good.

Hi Goddess,

Very interesting question. I use a Pentax K100D - but I am equally proud of shots I have taken over the years - with a little Ricoh Instamatic.

The Pentax was a gift from my wife and kids.

Cheers

David

Nice photo David. I love these black black silhouettes you get at a certain time of evening.

Hi Papoosue,

Thank you. This was just a fluke. If the light had been green, I would have missed the shot.

I was lucky!

Keep smiling
