A photo contest type of image


I had a marvelous day with my Nikons, the light as perfect for what I wanted to do, both in the afternoon and evening. I was lucky enough to be in the right place at the right time for this image. I drove over the bridge from LaHave Island as I was leaving the government harbour, I spied a hunched-over fisherman behind these traps piled out on the long wharf. Then, much to my delight, I saw another fisherman with a wheelbarrow moving other traps back and forth to shore.

I whipped out the 70-300mm VR and attached to the D80, I racked it all the way out......The fog tends to soften the image.

He made several trips as he stared at me a few times. I rattled of about 25 files, this has potential for something extra-special.

  2. Hehehe......I sent that to Vernon Oickle, you may see that on the Log in the near future.

    For someone technically challenged, you do very well=) It's not about shutter speeds and apertures, it's about lighting and composition.
