and oarsmen. or kayakers if you want to be so technical.
went to the marina yesterday to stalk these oars peeps. these two are competitors, the others (cropped) were students, just learning how to correctly paddle their way. these two, when they spotted me with my camera, turned and paddled like there was no tomorrow. so i had to set my camera with a faster shutter speed and did panning. another one yelled at me to not take photos. i just ignored him. i wondered they could spot me so easily. maybe it's my canary yellow rain jacket, you think? i should find one that's not so noticeable.
so, i made it to the middle of the month without choking yet. whew! i have a few more prospects to last me this week; not exciting ones but i still have to sort out my weekend pics so i could show you some of them.
thank you for your kind visits and comments; know that they are truly appreciated.
There's something about this that looks like an Oriental screen...maybe a reed screen with silhouettes and shading painted on it. It's gorgeous! It's beyond me why they might not want their photos taken, being out in the open as they were! (There's a lot of that nonsense going around these days!)
@Weezilou - ugh! darn! i forgot i had to do that. i left the office quite late. [sheepish grin] plus i didn't have my tripod. will try tomorrow or saturday. sorry, friend, grandma here has dementia methinks! but i promise i'll do it just you sit tight. :-P
@summerfield You have every right to think, "Sure lady...you're out there playing in the morning sun, but SOME OF US ants have to go to work so you grasshoppers can play!" Richard @chard and I were just swapping notes about mental lapses... I guess if we hang out here long enough, we'll all grow old together!
@Weezilou - eh, no, i wasn't thinking like that. i fully intend to keep my promise to you and paula. i suppose i could've done it tonight when i got your reminder, but i don't want to hang around a dark park with my equipment. partner is not quite keen on accompanying me for what he thinks are our silly challenges around here on 365. he could be a joy killer sometimes. so i would prefer to do it during daylight. at least if my gears get stolen i' can describe the bad guys. well, that is if i remember. hehehehe!
Super panning shot and framing. Rowboats have oars silly, kayaks have paddles. But I'll let it slide.you are doing so well with half the month gone. ;-)
