Challenge: De-Motivational Poster (Basic Editing*)
Camera: Nikon D300
Lens: Nikon AF-S DX Zoom-Nikkor 17-55mm f/2.8G IF-ED
Location: Yarra River, Melbourne Australia
Date: May 12, 2009
Aperture: F4.5
ISO: 500
Shutter: 1/80 second
Galleries: Sports, Water
Date Uploaded: May 12, 2009

 The Image: I got a RED in the last challenge, and thought I would go back to the river and do a follow up spoof on my last image. I had fun. It was around sunrise, and I had some nice light. I sat perched above the water on the Princess St Bridge and waited for the rowers to come home. I had about 20 minutes to shoot.

The Edit: Of course I wish this were Advanced like the last challenge, but alas, no! Colour, contrast, USM, noise reduction, borders and text. Fonts are Garamond for the main heading and Aaux Pro Small Caps for the white text.

The Prediction: I reckon mid sixes...??? Here's hoping!

Love the quote and the photo. The photo looks a bit blown out to me though.

great pic, but it isn't 'de-motivational'!

Hilarious!! I assume this is taken from the same bridge. The higher and dripping paddles in the previous picture were spectacular, too bad you could not duplicate that but this is still a great photo and your 'poster' idea is fantastic.
