Any ideas?thanks

Inside Notre Dame with a 2 second exposure, so the moving crowds are just blurred ghosts against the architecture. not bad for improvising with no tripod and a broken primary arm.
Impressive shot David- all the more so with your currently compromised physical capabilities! A very steady hand nonetheless.
The ghostlike figures are very evocative in that setting. -

I would if I had one! Pointed at the fire and spun during exposure, which was about a second. Got lucky with the sparks some how…
very effective- looks cool.
I took this one some years back- just looking down onto a flickering candle- I think the circles are light reflections from the melted wax. (can't quite find the file, so hopefully linking out is not breaching etiquette here? Happy for it not to be posted if so)

Busytown: Tell You What: A Nonfiction Giveaway!, in reply to
Tragedy at Pike River Mine. I thought I'd do my duty and read it, but found it so fascinating and tragically compelling.
Same- an utterly heartbreaking book that, despite knowing what the outcome for the workers was, compelled the reader to keep reading. The geology/science/engineering needed to understand was explained really clearly- an absorbing and "easy" read.
In essence, a tragic book of how personal arrogance and corporate greed kills.
A close second for me was, of course, Dirty Politics.

Hi Jackson- have just emailed you with my details.
Thanks heaps (and thank you randomiser!)- I really enjoyed looking at all the
photos and getting ideas for summer fun . . .My favourite out of the ten you selected was this one (another Dunedinite- but I swear parochialism has nothing to do with it!)- in the small photo it looks almost like a sunlit swarm of something . . . clicking to see the bigger image it is amazing.

Can almost smell and hear the vibrancy from these photos.
The (5th?) one with the dolls in plastic wrap is quite disconcerting!

I think I'm liking the notion if the "invisible energetic universe" Ian.
I think I will have that phrase in my head for a few days.
