Back to Life

At some point, we must take up the pleasures of life.
In these troubled and turbulent times, sometimes it's good just to sit back and enjoy the show. We did exactly that yesterday. Hopefully, you folks will do the same soon.

This lens really pisses me off. The vignetting goes away at f8 but it should not be this bad wide open. My fault for not checking the controls but damn...ruined a perfectly good shot.

JT,
Love the third shot.
We have been having a "new normal" and enjoying life as much as possible. For us, it is hike/walk with missus, having cocktails after a hard hike and enjoying new recipes. We are "making do" under the circumstances. :D

Staying in love is never a bad thing.
The water was like glass. It's a rare thing and a beautiful experience if you can see it.
Get out there and do it. Time is awaisting.

The way the blue sky and the stagnant water in the distance merge to create a continuum is impressive and there's a movie-like impression though you are irritated by the vignetting; it's like a pirate ship could emerge from the misty horizon any moment.
(Reminds me of scenes from the Pirates of the Caribbean.)

The sense of freedom in the other shots are very encouraging for the future that awaits… :)

Thanks for sharing, JBTaylor.

JT,
FWIW, I did not notice vignetting, honestly. My eyes were immediately drawn to the lighthouse and the boat. Moreover, IMHO, given there is so much negative space around the focal point, a bit of cropping is not going to hurt anyone. :lol:

Does embracing negative space make me a negative person? :D
