Photographer’s Note
Today I went down to Rozelle Bay which forms part of Sydney Harbour. The bay is between Rozelle and Annnadale (both inner western suburbs of Sydney). I went to see what photographs I could capture. I am in awe of the fantastic shots presented daily by many TE members.
So, here I am looking for something (anything) interesting to shoot when along came two men with their boats. I waited till they had set sail and started my series of shots of their sailing expertise.
This shot which I provide here was converted to B&W from colour. I pondered which was better (colour or B&W) in my mind B&W won hands down. I did some minor cropping on the right side and FG. I would load the colour original in WS but I have had trouble in the past week loading WS (problem reported to TE).
The boats in the BG are located at the James Craig Road Marina on the Balmain side of Rozelle Bay.
Hope you enjoy, Graham.

Hi Graham,
What could be better than playing with a couple of remote controlled boats. I'll bet they were having a great time.
Lovely daily life capture, it tells a wonderful story.

Hello Graham.
Another fine quality B&W.
Composition is elegant and leads our eyes to watch the toy boats.
I like the way the number two repeats in the shot (two drivers, two toy boats, two steps on the pier.
Best regards.
Bobo.

A very simple structure to the photo Graham and successful due to the use of B&W. I've been looking at your other B&W photos and you've done very in selecting suitable settings for B&W. Great stuff.
