What is it about fishing photos that I like so much? Maybe it's all about hope, or getting away from it all, or connecting with nature. I tried to convey some of that here. I was here a week ago with a shot like this in my head, but I went with what was presented to me on that day, the "mdrn fshrmn" shot I posted last week. On this particular day, I noticed wispy thin clouds in late afternoon that usually afford great sunsets, so I was hopeful that I could fulfill my vision on this evening. It's a small area near the river, so my sight lines were quite limited and there were other people around who kept getting between the camera & my subject, but finally I got a brief, clear view to shoot. One's all you need. JKEL

Twistee Treat
At last. This was one of the first things I shot about 5 years ago when I had just purchased a little HP point & shoot, and I shot from too far away and through a fence, and it all turned out a bit blurry. Well, with some shooting experience under my belt now, I felt it was time for a do-over. Before this particular shot, I had visited here several times before, but was never completely happy with the results. Maybe I was just delaying the inevitable - - using the tripod and spending the time to wait for a winning shot. My attitude now is to get not just "A" photo of a subject, but "THE" shot. I like the details in this one of the pink-shirted smiling server, the boy enviously eyeing his mom's cone, & the man at the far left. JKEL
