From the belly of a whale

Thought to self: I'm going to have to invest in thick socks and waders if I'm to continue being ankle deep in water over the winter months.

Ejaculatory celebration commenceth henceforth. Wonderful silhouette shot matey, and love those soft pastel tones. The 50d seems to excel at the long exposures.

@Stu: Ha-ha! Shooting one for the team eh? I played around with my LATEST toy on this one: the wireless shutter by Micnova. It was a Bond-style escapade where I trudged off, laughed into the glorious sky in the manner often associated with the evil villain in the piece and released the mechanism that detonated the shutter. While there was no explosion, there was this *points to photo*. Skype soon? Say, Wed or Thu eve? Perhaps Fri? You chooseth as I am hometh on my owneth.

Very nice silhouette - capturing a beautiful range of color and light - a winter sunrise would be worth it

@Bill Jennings: It was worth it, Bill. Unfortunately, the clouds didn't receive the memo that I was going to be there. :(

DarkElf from Perth, Australia

interesting play of light, colours and silhouetted shapes that really get the imagination going - very well seen and captured!

@DarkElf: Thanks mate. I was going for a slightly different interpretation on Anthony Kiedis's 'under the bridge' theme. There wasn't a junkie in sight, although if there had been this image would most likely have been filed under a different genre. ;)

wow; what gorgeous colors; this is so crisp, so clean. amazing!

@paulski: It was definitely crisp. I felt like knitting my own gloves because I had forgotten to bring my own. ;)

Sandrine from Cincinnati, United States

Waders? lol Brave the weather! ;) Excellent perspective Sash. The shadows with the pastel colours are stunning.

@Organik Mum: OM, I turned 38 this year which means that my vocabulary has taken another knock; I do not recognise the word 'brave' as an adjective or a verb. What do you mean? ;) I love the colours here too, which is why I wanted to give the frame a wider scope. My intention was to go to Lake Alexandrina and do a plethora of HDR images. Unfortunately, the light was all wrong, there were no clouds within cooee and I arrived at least 50 minutes after the time that I had planned to be there. As a result, I have to settle for single-exposure images such as this one. While it's not what I had planned I think it still symbolises a fair amount of what I had intended to show. Thanks for your visitation. :)

I reckon Friday could hit the spot for some skype activity of the highly vocal and perhaps drunken variety. About 8 Japan time OK cobba?
