Melbourne Candid Series #96

 


At Dockland, wake boarding competition can be so much fun. However, this district is considered a failure in modern Melbourne development 


This picture was taken by an old four third system which is ditched quickly by Olympus. I was so mad for so long when the company did that!

Olympus 520

      Thanks, Angie. 1 in 100 shots would have to be standing out from the rest even one lacks an artistic talent.

    You have caught a great action shot with the rider high in the air. Doesn't really matter what camera you are using. The camera just records what you are seeing, some better than others.

      Wisdom. Hear Hear! I actually like how grainy and noisy these photos are somewhat. Maybe I am going through mid-life crisis.

    That would scare to to death being up that high and going so fast. Great shot.

    Thank you for joining the Wordless Wednesday Blog Hop.

    Have a fabulous Wordless Wednesday. ♥

    Wonderful shot! I use rapid burst with insects since they tend to move too fast. But it's a shame they dropped a feature you mastered. Never let that camera get damaged!

      For this shot, the technology in these days cannot track this sort of fast movement. It was pre-focused manually and click by chance lol
