Stroke Of Luck by David McMahon
Quite apart from the rare pink-orange hue of the Yarra River’s surface, what I really wanted to depict here was the wonder of how geometrical aspects crop up in scenes from everyday life. Apart from the symmetry of the slender, dark oars and the diagonal motion of the vessel away from me, I was struck by the repetitive pattern of the bow wave that is echoed all the way across the hull. And an interesting counterpoint to the many straight lines and acute angles is provided by the pattern of concentric circles on the left of the frame. This shot was taken just before dawn in early July this year, when the river took on an interesting coppery hue as it reflected the winter clouds high above. I was walking across Princes Bridge when I looked down and saw this crew rowing towards the Melbourne Cricket Ground. I shot two frames, unsure of whether my reactions would actually be quick enough to capture the concentric pools of water left by the passage of each oar. The thing I really like about this low-light, quick-motion shot is that you can still see the swirls and eddies left by the previous dip of the oars into the water. Fast swirls. And also, er, fast eddies. I do not crop, enhance or pst-edit my work in any way. Shot with a Pentax K100D, using a Sigma 18-125mm lens. F5.6, 1/60 sec, ISO 800, focal length 125mm.

About This Group
Object – to display images that are a bridge between general sports action
and an artist’s view
.
Intent/guidelines – to include only images that are of a generic and
therefore artistic nature. These should be unidentifiable and unrecognisable
in terms of the person/persons depicted. This takes into account the
minefield that surrounds legal and legitimate usage of images of sportsmen
and women where no model release exists.
Images should also be of high quality so that Wall Art is their main destination (ie rather than low res
images that are only suitable for greeting cards). For the most part, these will be high quality photographic images.
