PEOPLE in my landscapes
Shrimpers, my daughter says it is a hard life.
Comments, praise, welcome.
Actually, I can't say what I was trying to do. I was trying to get a photograph of an American Eagle, but I kept seeing all these other things.....
Never got to the eagle place. The top photo, it was a grab shot, I was talking to someone, saw the man walking, took the photo, forgot about it.
The bottom photo, I saw the man there with his coffee and almost freaked with the drool of wanting the photo. He was across the creek, I had my 17-40 lens on. I took the darn photo, then changed lenses, hoping he would still be there. I mean, a 17, even a 40, is not my lens of choice in such a situation, I put on my 400. Lucky I got this one, he did not come back. I did not expect anything from it though.
Saw it on the PC, messed with it, cropped it a bit on the right, basically, I let it go about as dark as it wanted to, the sun was from that direction, so my exposure was not corrected yet, either and the sky was blown. By letting it go dark, accepting that, I think I got a pretty good save there. What do you all think?

After all is said and done, it is the sweet tea.

I like them...
Yes, sky on #2 is blown out, but it does not distract me from this little human figure. It has almost black and white feeling (did you try b/w or duo-tone for it?)
#1 - you can feel the hard working man, it's almost eerie..
Cheers!
