Sydney Downpour

Awesome picture… the treatment is great, as well as colour, composition, mood…

beautiful image, the crystal kind of quality suits so well and creates a lovely luminescensce, and fantastic lighting, and movement, well done

Very nice effect – not easy to make this kind of shot work but you nailed it.

its the softness of this images that gets me… great shot.

Beautiful work – great effects! I love the atmosphere you’ve created!

Great work, Craig. You have some really impressive shots.

I love the glow and the softness of this shot, excellent!

ooO!! lovely!! love the colors and sense of motion! =D

very beautiful

wonderful atmosphere… :)

Great mood and exelent shot and treatment

Very interesting use of motion, as if ghosts were walking the street in the rain.

I love the shiny softness!

love it. has a surreal feel to it

Very interesting shot!

Great shot… really like the colours and the reflections.

Very nice affect – great shot.

Wow.. you are awesome !!!

The movement with the clarity, and the differing light and conditions across the frame, make
a terrific whole.

Lovely shot.Love the finish and the blurred figure in the foreground.Good work

wow love the stillness and all the movement here. there are so many interesting details in this that it makes me want at look at it longer.

This is wonderful!! ;-)

Craig – it’s great!

Love the luminescence and subject matter of this shot – beautifully composed. I was probably there at the same time. Every time I went to Syd it bucketted! have a few rainy shots myself (not much on RB yet).

The complexity of this is arresting. The softness against the brilliant detail is really marvelous. Ditto the composition and detail…fantastic.

Cool shot Craig. Like the treatment as well as good spot. Chris

What a great moment, love those little red cars up the street. Great atmosphere, very effective! Bravo, Craig!

the lighting is so mystical and the colors so eerily haunting that i wish i could be here- it gives me a feeling of great comfort and yet mystery at the same time…. it’s like the most seamless place between night and day….like if ever the 2 could exist at the same time, this would be it- i love the blurry feel and the damp moistened look of the rain on city streets…everything about this piece seems so ephemeral, and that we are all beings who, in just an instant, will disappear from whence we came

great capture!
love the movement in the image

Congrats on seeing the image in the Aus Photography mag

wow what a stunning shot, how did you do this, your portfolio is stunning you are obviously a professional at this. I love this, how did you blur the person? i really want to achieve this effect. Hope you dont mind me asking you xx

Love this. Well Done

Fantastic work. Love what you’ve done with this image! – the soft focus and lovely colors make for such a perfect mood. :)

brilliant capture Craig, impressive PF you have too

Excellent fab technique a fav for me magical image great title a winner mate cheers for excellent comments Frank

haha i’m sensing a correlation between this ‘best representing Sydney’ and the recent weather patterns!! great flick nonetheless!

Fabulous shot, a real stand out in the challenge and it got my vote!!

Congrats!

such great energy in this shot – wonderful work

Brilliant piece of work mate.

I am on this corner everyday and it never looked so interesting….... will look at it differently now! Excellent.

Wow! Great work!

This was my fave in the competition but I couldn’t get the voting thingy to load properly, so I’m very happy that you won. This is a really great shot.

wow! wonderful work

A perfect picture.

Beautiful, the motion blur works great.

Love how you photographed this, the people have a feeling of movement and rush about them as if they are in a hurry to get in out of the weather!

Awesome luminence and summer feel of a humid afternoon- good on you for being so inspiring and evoking such a feeling of memory.

Love wet streets ;)

love this!! the movement is great

amazing capture!

Great image and effect!

Outstanding use of the motion blur. Great outcome.

gorgeous urban scene.. great work !

Very appealing shot. Slow exposure, or Orton effect? Just curious, as I continue to learn.
Either way, I like this.

I love this image, I faved it some time back and always wanted a print, perhaps i’ll indulge…

stunning;

Brilliant. The long exposure brings it to life.

Hi Craig, I’m sure I’ve seen this in a Camera mag recently? I love it…especially ‘cos we spend alot of time in Castlereigh St on business & I’ve stood on that corner many times! p.s thanks for the comment on my ‘untitled’ (as most of them are ‘cos I can’t think of what to label them) shot. :-)

really like this, the movement and colours are wonderful

This is a wonderful image one that I can relate to being a Sydney Sider. Well seen and captured

Wow, thats mind blowing…i really love it, it’s so ghostly. The reflections on the street are magic.

Awesome

fantastic image

What a beautiful shot, basically it has a very good composition… But how did you do that effect, it is stunning!

N I C E !!

Excellent, the rain combined with the blurred people makes everything feel so fresh and clean.

This is wicked – you can almost feel the muggy dampness of the rain on a summer day. Love the blur and focus, the colours and composition – hell I like it all !!! lol

excellent work

Simply AWESOME.

amazing :)

Great

I love umbrellas, and this Ghostumbrella is just fantastic!
Great rain scene!

Really atmospheric. Can just feel that rain!

cool shot

A fine shot this – I like the feel of it!
