National War Memorial - what not to do

Had a chance to go to the War Memorial on a sunny day (a change from the last 3 weeks in Canberra). Took this photo which was a learning/remembering exercise in what not to do.

1) Don't photomograph at midday - why do you forget these things?
2) Don't hesitate when photomographing unless it contravenes 3).
3) Don't photomograph people if you don't feel you should - especially children, as you will contravene 2) whilst trying to decide if you should/shouldn't have them in focus.
4) Don't photomograph from your boring eyelevel of 5'10", it's only really interesting for the wee people

So conceptually 5/10 for me, but perhaps a 3/10 for resulting excution.

Foriade 2009



Clearing a back log of photos, here are some from the nice days at Floriade 2009... should have gone in with a specific photo in mind rather than "I'd like some floral stuff for the walls"
