I've realised I should upload the previous images from my "100 Strangers" series, originally loaded to the 'other site'. What follows are my original comments:

I wandered down the foreshore at the Bay as the sunset faded and eventually found myself on one of the jetties, where I met Vicki. She was visiting from Victoria and was fishing with a friend and his teenage son Steven. After some yarning about photography and fishing, Vicki kindly allowed me to interrupt her fishing, even though the flathead were biting ... Thank you Vicki, and I hope you pulled out several more.

This also was my first chance to test the new fold-up mini softbox I'd fitted to my flash. Although I was fairly happy with the result, I feel I need more practice using it.

I also photographed Steven, but then found he still is a minor. When I mentioned this, his Dad gave his approval to take Steven's photo: only after returning home have I found that for Steven to be included in the "100 Strangers" group, the rule is that his Dad would also need to have been in the shot. So the photo is uploaded, but just not in the F****r group pool: and I've made a mental note to 'get it right' next time.

This picture is 04 in my 100 strangers project. Find out more about the project and see pictures taken by other photographers at the 100 Strangers Flickr Group page

Thank you all for your comments, very much appreciated as always. I was pleased with the effect of the fold-up softbox, though it involved some juggling. Doing this shot again, I'd use a remote for the flash and (more juggling) hold it away from the camera.
