One of a sequence of a V8 Jetboat (Phoenix), a little out of control during a race meeting at Cabarita in Northern NSW. The boat did a complete roll and landed right way up back in the water and continued on its way.

Photo Challenge: The decisive movement
To undertake our Decisive Movement challenge, photographers had to ensure their shutter speed was a 1/60th of a second or slower – and that some aspect of their subject was in motion.
Burn
By Daniel Spellman. I’d always hated still life photography of flowers. It’s very subtle, peaceful, and contemplative work. Those are all the things I hate. So I decided to add some spark (literally) and have been experimenting with dripping some kerosene onto the flowers and setting them alight.
I always look forward to zooming in on the pictures afterwards to see what has happened. It’s a great example of how the camera can sometimes capture more than our eyes can.
The Wistful Snow Monkey
By Ian Smith. [First winner of Image Review 4.] A ‘Snow Monkey’, or ‘Japanese Macaque’ (Macaca fuscata), looking rather wistful, near Nagano in Japan (the only place in the world where monkeys bathe in hot springs). You can’t help wondering what it’s thinking.
Tatiana
By Deve Mahesan. This is my daughter, who has been a victim of bullying most of her life; all through primary and high school, because she was a high achiever. Google Tatiana Devendranath to find out more about this beautiful sensitive girl. I am a proud Dad.

Fan
By Aemelia Stivaktakis. Found this amazing leaf whilst out for a walk. On closer inspection I discovered it had a spectacular vein-like appearance, and this made me think about slowing down and appreciating the world around me.
Ponder
By Nick Pincott. My attention is always split looking at this image; I love the detail the lens has captured but at the same time I just can’t stop asking myself what’s going through his mind.
The spider
By Brett Meara.
I often travel to the local Botanical Gardens as I find it provides a multitude of opportunities for macro photography. It is almost like attending a variety of climate types at once. I found this guy half way through a meal so luckily she/he wasn’t in the mood to be moving around too much. I used off-camera flash and focused on its eyes, using f/8 on my lens as this generally gives me the sharpest results and a reasonable depth of field. I added a vignette and did some layers adjustments and sharpening in Photoshop.
