Description

"The courage to imagine the otherwise is our greatest resource, adding color and suspense to all our life." --Daniel Boorstin

A handheld early evening photograph of some colorful restrooms along a boardwalk. 0.4 second exposure, normal program, f/2.4, 50 ISO, 7.4mm, no flash. I'm not sure how I managed to get such a clear shot, but was glad. Minor adjustments in Photoshop, primarily to correct for lens distortion. Notice the planet Venus in the left top corner of the sky. It is shining so brightly right now, that it can even cast shadows! I don't know about you, but I'd avoid the toilet in the "crab" bathroom... ;'] ----- We in Florida are celebrating today, the last official day of Hurricane season. Let's hope that next year things are not quite so busy. Thanks for stopping by and for your heartfelt comments on my last photo, The Bridge.

@ egemont, yes, I took a deep breath, help my eblows close, and took the shot as I slowly let out my breath. 99% of my long handheld exposures come out blurry. *

Superb capture - some you win ! and without any L glass - lol ! oh yeah but you have the advantage of short focal length making it possible to handhold for quite long exposures ;) Anyways excellent colour, presentation and compo :)

This is absolutely magnificent, Kort!!! Wow!! The clarity is quite impressive!! How in the world did you manage to get such clarity on your entire image with your aperture opened up all the way like that? i would have expected a shallow DOF and i don't see that either. go figure! Lighting is fantastic and colors are oh so beautiful!!!!! Congrats on such a stunning image! :)
