The Japanese defense forces couldn't stop Godzilla.....I captured the beast!
Spied this over Route 128 on my way home from work. Dirty windshield and strong sun glare I had to darken the image and crop out the sun. That's the only edit to what's probably my worse quality image. I figured some would get a kick out of it so I posted the pic on facebook. A few shares later it's gone world wide! Who would of thunk it?
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 had to replace my old 200mm zoom lense.It was giving me focus fits when something inside let go...and it was my second one! This time I wanted to look at a different manufacturer,something more rugged. I ended up getting a Sigma 70mm-300mm zoom that was on sale alot cheaper than I expected! So as soon as I got home and with fading light I grabbed the camera to take these test shots.

New toys are always fun! I saw the Little Mako today too. Brrr. I've seen quite a few boats come in today topheavy with ice.
Very nice Jay! Looks like the lens was a good buy. I liked all the photo's very much but the 2nd one down really caught my eye with all the shades of greys and blues.
