[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
While most people were partying in the city for new years eve, we thought we'd break the trend and go down camping by Waroona Dam to bring in the new year.

With nightclubs and raves going off in the city, drums and guitars entertained us instead through the evenings.

Nice photograph. Good effect of movement creates by the slow 1/40s shutter speed. Happy new year

good idea some times is good to break with tradition

Hi Brendan
Very nice close-up work. I particularly like the position of the motion blurred hands and also the little grain on the drums. Also great details of drum logos. Very nicely done.
Happy new year,
CheukHin

Hey Brendan,

cool shot my friend. Nicely framed. A bit tight on the left hand? Wouldnt mind a bit looser crop, mayhe show more of the hands to the wrists? The sharpness is good, the low shutter speed too, the shot has energy. Funky stuff. How are you liking this lens? Its the lens I want when I get the 5D.

Hi Brendan!

i like a lot to see these hands at work!!
very good compo!
ciao!
Valeria
happy new year!

Hello Brendan,
nice shot here, good compo, but i would see full hand of this guy, at least without cropping small finger. nice use of b&w. fine work.
regards

This is a lovely farewell shot, a going off shot, Brendan. A sophisticated pic, should have gotten more attention, though it is always an honour when Isabelle comes by... You're flirting with danger with these highlights, ate, though not enough to ruin this superior picture. Excellent POV and motion blur on the hands.
Nice one...

one of the best new year´s celebration for me was at the shore in a very very quiet beach eating popcorn and drinking champagne with the sound of the waves breaking at distance, the heat of a bonfire and a tent.
great title, beautiful b&w, Brendan. we can hear the sound of the drums...
:) tomorrow

Hi Brendan,
A very nice, interestingly peaceful shot for a drumming one, but one that makes sense and is gorgeous in its graphic simplicity. Love the bw treatment, the motion blur of the hands over the drums.
Happy New Year and best for your big move. No doubt you'll take fantastic shots in the UK as well.

Hi Brendan,
a nice bw, I like the simplicity here with a nice movement effect... Funny I looks a littl bit like a color picture, I canot explain why, I like it...
