SOOC10 Surf lifesavers bollards

Some of the several hundred of these well-known bollards that adorn Geelong's waterfront and other places. Today's shots flopped, this one taken a couple of weeks ago but sooc and with 35mm lens.

Well find. Great pov. I think I would prefer colored. At one time, the photo was received in the darkroom, where there was a lot to change. In this challenge, we give jpg from the camera and a little bit of this finish.

[Walks @ 7]

Very much like your perspective.

[Marnie]

@haskar I like the colour version too, but preferred the b&w this time.

[Marnie]

@joysabin Thanks Joy, I was very lucky. About five minutes later a whole busload of Chinese tourists arrived and swarmed all over everything taking selfies.

[Walks @ 7]

@golftragic Those shots would have been fun too.

[Pam Knowler]

Great image Marnie! Made me smile! Lovely b&w conversion!

[Dianne]

Those guys are ready to run the reel out and perform a rescue. Great image.

[Debs Stott]

They are cute. Do they have a purpose or just pretty?

[Domenico Dodaro]

They look cool! As to life saving, I fear they work a bit like my stone life-jackets... ;)

[Margo]

Great shot

[sally agnew]

They are really quirky :)

[Denise Wood]

Recognised them straight away :) Love 'em!!

[Merrelyn]

I loved seeing the bollards when we were in Geelong last year. They're so well done :)

[Marnie]

@joysabin If you could get near enough to get a shot!

[Marnie]

@pamknowler Thanks Pam, the bollards are a great tourist attraction. BTW, this isn't actually a conversion, I have my camera currently set to take RAWs in colour and JPEGs in b&w (two SD card slots), so I'm able to have my cake and eat it too.

[Marnie]

@dide I find some of the bollards better than others, I liked this group, she really got the feel here.

[Marnie]

@dibzgreasley Just decorative. There are several hundred of them, all different and tourists flock here to see them.

[Marnie]

@domenicododaro An apt analogy!!

[Marnie]

@777margo thanks

[Marnie]

@hermann Yes, in a nice way, of course.

[Marnie]

@gilbertwood I thought you might! They're always good for a shot or two. I took a shot of the Nellie Melba one at Avalon I haven't yet posted.

[Marnie]

@merrelyn What a pity I wasn't following you then, we could've had coffee and a goss.

[Merrelyn]

@golftragic That would have been lovely :)

[Marnie]

@merrelyn Just what I thought!

[Denise Wood]

@golftragic I got a great shot of the brolly girls with the musicians a few years ago - one of my favourite shots :)

[Marnie]

@gilbertwood That would've been fun. Somehow we need to have a get-together with you and the brolly girls. Thinking, thinking …

[Denise Wood]

@golftragic .....keep thinking - there's bound to be a plan somewhere, some time :)

[Marnie]

@gilbertwood 👍
