Sunday July 6

I started the day at 5 am going out and taking photos. Later, Diana and I went to breakfast while Marie and Perry went and got fish. 121 lbs of King Salmon to be exact. Marie dragged us down to see Dan the Fish Man where we bought 44 lbs of fish, too.

Later on, Marie went to kayak and Perry, Diana and I rented a car and saw the following sights.

The 5am shots:

I like colorful floats on boats.
A03Pdock2.jpg (23998 bytes)
Lots of interesting tones and patterns. Also a good message for parents.
A03Pdock6.jpg (41817 bytes)
Someday I'll Photoshop the heck out of this and get the fluorescent quality of the red tail light back. Until then, read the bumper stickers.
A03Pdock5.jpg (41223 bytes)
Smoke on the water. At 5:45 am there is a lot of fog in Petersburg.
A03Pdock7.jpg (27896 bytes)
Lots and lots of dock shots but few with reflections.
At 5:30am there isn't enough going on to disturb the water.

A reflection of Petersburg harbor.

This net caught my attention. Very subtle detail here.

A "Bruce and Nowell" discussing breakfast kind of shot. 80-400VR at ISO 800.

Sing Alley shops. I took the shot to capture the windmills in the window. It will need some work.

I did three versions of this and none came out as I planned. This is the closest. The float is not bright enough but the polarizer really darkened the water.

Later in the Day shots:
