We're Going Round And Round In Circles

Big Wheels Keep On Turnin'

Photograph copyright: DAVID McMAHON

Great skyline. Interesting pre-dawn colours. Strong silhouette. Reach for camera. Capture scene. Very happy with shot. Especially the flock of seagulls on the left-hand side. Pack camera away. Good idea to take the Pentax with me wherever I go.

For the benefit of new visitors to this site, I never digitally enhance my images in any way. What you see here is what I see through my viewfinder. That's fair dinkum.

WHY? Digital enhancement is what saves most of my pic's from the trash can! (Throws strop, flounces out of room - slamming door.)

Not sure what upsets me more, that you refuse to use it, or that sodding great photo (AGAIN) you've just posted..

And as for that son of yours.. he's not really, is he? I've finally worked this out; he's just this midget, photographic genious that you've kidnapped, and are now holding, so's to make us all feel unworthy and inferior..

'Tis a cruel game you play, David.

i luv the tranquility of this picture ,david...it doesn't need enhancing, it sits fine as it is, bathed in an ethereal light.

i do alot of witchery to some of my photos, artistic expression i suppose...not all...still...the best ones are the ones that are in the perfect instant, untouched.....

agreed

Hi Carol,

When you're back from your strop-flounce-slam routine ....

Glad you liked the picture. Hey, just to keep you happy, I'm going to post something in the next coupla days where I - no, I won't give you any details yet. Keep ya in suspense!

As for Matt. I showed him your comment. He just grinned, this 13-year-old six-footer, and quipped: ``Ain't no midget''!

Cheeky fella. Dunno where he gets it from!

Cheers

David

Hi Karoline,

Many thanks for the comment. That's a beautiful description, ``ethereal light'' indeed.

Nice of you to visit. Hope the link brings you some traffic.

By the way, we're all ham-fisted when it comes to typing those letters in!

Cheers

David

Hi David,

That's a wonderful picture !! And I too don't play with the naturalness of the photos I click.

I believe, by enhancing we make them too good to be real. :)
