Critique Welcomed How I Got Malaria

[Beth Carter]

i had a camera and tripod, a lovely sky, a half way decent foreground and a few minutes to spare. only thing standing between me and a decent photo was the 72 million mosquitoes flying around. most of which bit me.

One needs to suffer for one's art!

Worth the pain though.

 

[Rob MacKillop]

Beautiful, Beth.

That's terrible Beth. How annoying. I trust you are over it all now (I assume this is an old shot?)
However you salvaged a very nice evening/early morning shot.

The only thing worse than a mosquito is a damn midgie! (Think invisible schools of microscopic flying piranha!)

Bonnie image though, Beth!

thanks everyone.

i was infected on my way to work last night (or night before last at this point). when my boss came in at 6am i tried to tell him i had malaria and needed to go home. but unfortunately we had an impending visit from the president and the state fair opened so i wasn't allowed to leave early. thankfully, the malaria miraculously cleared up as soon as i left the building a few hours later.

Try Dengue Fever next time Beth!

 

[Ivar Dahl-Larsen]

A beautiful shot Beth and please do not listen to Pete, the Dengue fever can be fatal.

dengue fever is worth trying if it'll get me out of work.

Oh, it'll do that alright!
