I LOVE that flower shot
Day 96
Well fellow Nikonesians I promise I tried today. I set out to find something (anything other than traffic) that moves, in order to check my settings based on the PDF I studied yesterday.
I was horribly disappointed and I can honestly say this has been the hardest day for me because I was enthusiastic to put some learning into practice. Well tomorrow is another day.
So meagre pickings
At one point I was down by the river and saw this little fish.
SOOC
Same fished cropped and processed
And right there was a bench with a plaque to remind me that Rusty and Jack enjoyed this spot. RIP
I did take photos but more to the point I was thinking photography today.

I like that Deezey
I had a nail day yesterday too. Maybe it's because at day 90ish you struggle to find something new. It's impossible to find something new every day I think .... so we must battle on You are doing just fine Lawrence Day 97
Picking up where I failed yesterday - because of lack of opportunity.
There was the annual "5 Bridges Race" on the Waikato today. Total distance is over 7 kilometres and they swim with the current. Just as well as it is a pretty potent current.
The winners do it in about 45 minutes - believe me the current plays a big part.
I took lots of photos so will break them into groups.
First waiting for the swimmers to arrive.
The river was teeming with fish.
Much bigger than yesterdays one.
I think there is a special filter one can buy to shoot "through" water.

Oops I forgot to mention the day started with this outside my room
This stump was on the side of the river bank
This young lady framed by the bushes as she stepped on to nature's stage was a pleasant distraction
And this fellow was headed up stream - which is why I left the photo "unstraightened" as it gives the impression of paddling upstream.
I like the water the oar kicked up

Then the swimmers started coming.
First the leaders
Then the trailing "bus" ( as it is called in running)
They were followed by hundreds all spread out over a big distance but this particular lass, towards the back of the field, was very casually doing some backstroke.
I loved her attitude

Oops left out the Duck Vs Man sideshow
It all seemed well organised with lots of marshals in attendance.
This one saw me.
"Good afternoon madam, Just taking photos"
The rest were more intent on the job than the paparazzi
And this one I like because of the duck (just above swimmers) having had enough!

I really like that shot of the balloon. The way it is framed by the trees is very nice. Great work!

RIP :(
He was praying that there would not be any big fish nibbling at his Butt.

I just want to say that was an awesome typo. Tears were shed.
Yeah that was a lovely typo. I had visions of Neptune shooting out of the water with fist extended.
