Hi Dave: The shot of what looks like 3 fisherman in the water near the
weeping willow tree looks like a winner. I'd love to see that one larger,
though I understand about the size. Composition looks great there. Also
the one immediately following the 3 fisherman is a terrific shot as well.
Looks like a great crowd shot.
Nice work, Dave. Cheers, Christine

Subject: GESO: Hurunui Dambusters Protest
A protest was held here today to oppose an irrigation scheme that's being
put in on the Hurunui River in North Canterbury. Dairy farming is making
massive amounts of foreign exchange for our country but there's a bit of
resentment about its environmental impact, so damming up a river for an
irrigation project isn't the most popular of ideas.
The protesters were mostly made up of kayakers, fishermen and
environmental advocates. The march ran along the Avon River from the
Bridge of Remembrance to Victoria Square in Christchurch City.

I don't consider this to be my best work but I did what I could given the
conditions. Sorry about the small size of the pics, I'm limited to a
certain width & height and most of the photos were portrait orientation.
The K10D showed itself once again to be a robust camera. It wasn't fazed
by the rain, and it came out muddy but undamaged when I slipped on the
riverbank and landed sideways. The hood broke off my lens (FA 24mm) and
separated into two pieces. Not the first time I've done that so I'll
just glue it back together again. My right arm still feels a bit strange
and I'm expecting it to bruise tomorrow.
Cheers,
Dave
