Today I went to the Bristol Waterfront Park in hopes of catching some
speed for this month's contest. :encouragement:
First I came across this photographer taking long exposures. In his left hand is a cabled remote. We chatted for a few minutes--he's from Philly and likes to go to the river once in a while.
I had a lot of opportunities to work on panning. The last time I did any panning, it must have been 20 years ago. Let's just say it took some time to get into the groove of it. :beguiled:
Usually it is the norm for people to strike up conversations when I'm out shooting--probably more times than not. But today was the first time I was ever really uncomfortable when a guy stood near me and started asking a lot of questions. Initially they were the usual stuff, but he kept asking me where I lived. By the 3rd time, I finally decided it would be best to leave. There were quite a few people around so I wasn't concerned for my safety, but he seemed to be a
player, if you know what I mean. Come on...I wasn't in a bar or some type of pick-up joint! :glee: Hopefully I will have another chance to go back another time and get a few photos of wave runners. Zoom, zoom!
