Nifty Fifties

Here’s some insight into the way my (photographic) brain works. While driving along an interstate, I catch, out of the corner of my eye, a shipyard filled with old Navy boats. 1.5 seconds later, I’m (safely) crossing 3 lanes for the exit. We happened upon this spot and not even a closed (unstable) sidewalk over the water could keep us out. I framed this shot up and wanted a long-ish exposure to bring out the movement in the sky. The reflections and the resulting tone of the image are my favorite qualities of this image. Special thanks to the security guard, Mike (maybe) for being so cool with escorting us off of the unstable sidewalk after we got our shots.

  1. Nifty shot!

    Serious photographers seem to be huge risk-takers when trying to get the optimal angle.

    You succeeded here. Kudos and I’m glad you’re safe!
