When it rains in Darlinghurst...

[Nnnnsic]

...you can end up getting some shots of your friends as the rain falls.





And I can't decide which I like more for the following image (so here it is twice):

[Yi-P]

I like the 1st and last... you're really good in BW shots

[ozczecho]

Both the b&w shots are superb..love 'em both....also shows you should have cam handy... In #1 love her pose , the taxi zoomin' by and the spray from the previous car...

Great shots.

[gstark]

I prefer #2.

And for those coming to the portrait workshop, Dee, one of the ladies posing for us, is the lovely lady in #s 1 and 2.

[wendellt]

beautiful images number 2 in particular
I notice the de saturated tones of the out of focus area which makes it look quite sophisticted

I do similar images but my tones are more urban yelow with greenish hadow tones, i like your tones better

how was number 2 lit, i would assume available light but it seems to have a difussed soft illumination

[sheepie]

Goes to show you should always have your camera in hand eh! Great shots Leigh, lovely light, lovely subjects.

[Oscar]

Great shots Leigh. Love all of them. The last appears just a tad too dark on my work monitor - seems to lose some of the detail. Terrific images. I'm sure your friends would love copies of these. Cheers, Mick

Leigh

Can't see the pics. leighlo.com is timing out when I try to go direct to the site too

[rokkstar]

I cant see the pics either. WOuld like to as I thinkI'm on the list for the portrait workshop and would like to see the lucky lady to fill my lens!

[Geoff]

I'm in the same boat - no pics here either.

[Alpha_7]

Least it isn't only me seeing little red x's.

Fix your site Leigh, you have crowds lining up to see you images.

[Mal]

When it rains in Darlinghurst........ you can't see Leighs pictures

We're in the process of cutting over to DSL2 right now, and we're in the competent hands of Optarse for this cutover.

A 15 minute job basically takes them a whole day.

I'm talking through our wireless connection, but our servers connect through our router, which has no connection beyond the Optarse PoP until, I'm told, CoB today.

So ... no email, incoming or outgoing through any of our home hosted sites.

No web serving either for those same sites.

And of course, our phone is out for incoming calls for about a day as well.

So y'all need to be patient.

The good news is that the router is seeing the new conenction with a download speed of over 16000, and the upload speed os around 1021.

Great pics - my favourate is no 3 as it gives the impression that she is in her own, warm and dry little world separate from the downpour around her. I prefer this to the B&W version.

P

[gstark]

And we seem to be back online

Speeds seem reasonable, but it's only been a few minutes

[Geoff]

Bloody good work Leigh - you and B&W just fit together so nicely. Well done. The 1st is my fave here.

[rokkstar]

1st gets my vote Leigh.
As does 4.
Nice work.

[PiroStitch]

The last one reminds me of Les Miserable. Good stuff Leigh.

[bonou2]

Awesome shots....great BOKEH. What lens did you use?

Cheers
Dan

[sirhc55]

Leigh - place pretty girls in front of your lens and you produce great shots - #1 and #2 are really emotive shots - and please, no more lambshank grease

[mic]

Very good work there Leigh, B & W's and Rain just go soooo well together.
And a pretty girl helps as well.

Can you get one Naked in the rain next time and Jiggle My Wonder Woman Boobie Avatar Please

Mic

[Nogshale]

Nnnnsic and gstark work together?

[gstark]

Work ??!!!


He's my son!

[Nogshale]

Work ??!!!


He's my son!

Ohh heheheh

[Alpha_7]

I prefer the black and white ones, nice shots all of them, worth the wait.

[stubbsy]

#1 and #3 are my picks here. The B & W really suits the first image, but I prefer the last image in colour

[meicw]

I like them all, but no 1 is my fav. Did we have a little rain in Sydney today? Wettest day for a few years we heard down here in dry Melbourne. Well not quite, as we did have one shower here.

Regards
meicw

[xerubus]

the first and third shots are spectacular... nicely done!

cheers

[Chelbe]

I think that the first shot is fantastic, well done.
