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!
Ah so close...just waiting for the weather to get warmer to launch the boat. The harbor this time of year is like a sleeping giant waiting for the churning propellers and the sounds of canvas in the rigging. Gloucester's greatest natural resource still waiting for it's full potential.
I was going to crop down to the yaking gull. But when I saw that gull in the upper corner and how the light played on it plus the splashes in the bottom right I figured it would be better composed. Three gulls were fighting over a scrap of food and that was the aftermath. Good eye Kath !

Look at the way the light catches the feathers in the gulls wing in the corner of the third photo. Very nice!
