Cape Ann Images: I got a secret !

Why I created this......

Born and raised in Gloucester, Ma fishing gets in your blood. Surrounded by the sea, kids here have a boat almost as much as kids elsewhere have bicycles! As I grew older my fishing ambitions gave way to what's around me. Although I still "drop a line" every so often, my attention wanders to the majesty of the natural light that make this place so special. Never is each day the same. The subjects may be the same but the light from the sea & sky will morph the subject into a form of art. For that reason artists have been drawn to these shores for several hundred years, they followed the light painting and sketching these surroundings. What artists capture with paint on canvas, I attempt to capture with a click.....if I'm lucky!

I guess that's a sort of Fish'n!

I got a secret !

Can you keep a secret? I hope so 'cause not all the pictures I take are as perfect as I want them. Being on a moving boat,rocking side to side or pounding the waves present numerous problems. Mis-alignment...out of focus....over exposure to name a few. Many pictures I post, the subject ends up in the corner of the frame or atop of it or even sometimes my bimini framework gets in the way.It takes editing magic at home to correct many of these flaws.Then I have to decide if I should pan back or use a close-up....that all depends on what will stay in focus,I hate anything out of focus! Here's some of those photos that I wasn't happy with.A few of them "cleaned-up" enough to be acceptable to me,others....close.
