YP Photographic Competition

I've re-edited and named the following pic from a previous post. Everyone I've showed it to (pre-edit) just loved it and told me I'd be crazy not to enter it in a competition. The YP Photographic Competition has just opened and is running until May. Its free to enter and each person can submit up to 5 entries, so I figure I had nothing to lose :) Bel & Tracy - you should enter something!!!

Across the Golden Sand

Something else I've been up to is working with photos from the 50s, and 60s. They're from my Pop's collection.

I'm not sure who the kids are, or what the deal is with Pop's hat, but there you go. This photo was originally about the size of a business card, and it would have been nicer to add a bit more shadow/depth around the kids faces so they're not so white, but whenever I tried to do that, Pop became darker so I chose not to do that.

This is from when the river flooded up near Berri. Pop was clever enough to strap his car to some 44 gallon drums and voila!

This photo was originally out of focus, so was a bit tricky to work with. Pop is moving a shed somewhere - that shed was moved all the way from the river to Mt Rat. A very well travelled shed!!
