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!
Now that I'm back employed, one aspect I can appreciate is that I don't have to be under one roof all day. Going from fish house to fish house the scenery is always changing! Waiting for the next boat to arrive allows me a little "camera time".
Living the dream! I'm so happy that you are back in the saddle again, although it is on a different horse. And to be able to take pictures from that location! (I think I know where you are shooting from.)
Thanks Kathleen! And Steve,I passed you and the Mrs the other day as I was heading to another offload. So far no days off and no time for lunch but the time is flying by!
