John's recent post got me thinking about this photo that I took some time ago. In contrast with the bitterly cold day he had to face, this was shot in very humid conditions. As much as he won't understand ( or anyone else who shoots in very cold climates) what an irritation sweat, that constantly drips onto the camera's screen or viewfinder can be, I don't understand what it means to have to wear gloves, while shooting.
Similarily, the viewer sometimes sees a totally different scene than the one you have captured. I posted this on another forum last year sometime and was taken aback by one comment that likened this to the view of a prisoner in a penal colony, wishing to one day jump the fence in the foreground, swim across the bay to the lights in the distance, and freedom. A thought that would not, even remotely, have crossed my mind.
After all, this is a place where I have seen many sunrises while fishing through the night, spent many afternoons relaxing and just listening to the waves breaking on the pier.
Anyway, the processing probably leaves a lot to be desired, since I underexposed the RAW file due to stupidity and, this being the first processing with the new PC and software.
