Rubber Raft Fishing
07 September 2014 -- 250/365
Lincoln, Rhode Island
I visited Lincoln Woods just after lunch today, and came across this gentleman fishing in a quiet section of Olney Pond. Now, I'm not what you'd consider a fisherman, by any stretch of the imagination. Heck, my claim to fame is having caught a seagull while fishing for scup in Jamestown. Despite my lack of expertise, I'm still pretty certain that fish hooks and rubber rafts are a very bad combination. At least, they would be for me. Of course, the very first thing I ever caught with a fishing pole was my father back when I was all of 6. Hooked him good, too, right in the left cheek, and that was before we even left the house! So, should I ever venture out on a pond to fish, you can safely conclude that I won't be doing it in a rubber raft.
Post processing started with a neutral filter in Topaz B&W FX. I adjusted color sensitivity sliders, adaptive exposure, regions, contrast, boost black, and protect highlights. A levels adjustment was added in PSE.
Hahaha! That is somewhat reassuring Ron! I've never gone fishing before but I think I would actively avoid it so people don't get injured too badly! :)
