Image LOL - this is taken out in the backyard of my friends house - the gully turns into quite a nice little waterfall after rain - and we've had lots of that !!!
Not a great shot - taken in the middle of a downpour with the old old old Canon G2 - not game enough to take the nikon down until it stops pouring :(
But you get the idea - not a bad place to be stuck ;) :)
Hugs

ps - the flarey bits on the shot are actually rain drops on the lens - the camera is now on the kitchen bench drying out

Thanks guys - brave or just plain stupid ??? Remember I've fried a flash before in the rain ;)
The G2 is a bloody good little camera - just keeps on going, and it does have a bit of a hard life - if the weather is too shitty for the nikon, out comes old faithful ;)
My friend was happy with the shot - as she said, waterfall shots are 'really nice', but it is so much better when you know that it is 'yours'. There are about 15 small falls down the side of the gully - this one had me sitting in the middle of a pool to get the shot with the camera balancing on a wet rock in the middle of the gully LOL. If it ever stops raining, I'll get down there and get some 'proper' shots :)
