Still cranking through a backlog of processing. Here are a few photographs from last Friday night on Pea Island. Not shooting much this week so far… evenings have been very blah with overcast skies and no sunsets. I hope to get that turned around tonight or tomorrow morning.
I mentioned a few days ago that I had hoped some weather came and cleaned up Pea Island. It wasn’t drastic, but a little overnight rain on Thursday helped smooth things out… Friday night found things damp and still. Just me and mosquitos!
A quick funny – I thought I dropped my filter wallet on this outing. For the life of me, I couldn’t find it when I got home after shooting. I searched the car and my pack for a few minutes… nothing. I had a loose filter in my pocket and another on a lens that were looking for a home. I then remembered that after I was done shooting I was rushing around trying to get to the car as I was being eaten alive and thought that it must have fallen out of my pocket. Saturday morning, I made a plan to drive back to this same spot and shoot sunrise and look for the filters. I arrived about 90 minutes before sunrise with a flashlight in hand and proceeded to search the beach. Sunrise was completely clouded out… so I just continued walking and looking. I was able to clearly find my tracks from the evening before, but didn’t see my filters. After 2 hours, I gave up and drove home thinking that I’d lost them to the surf and I’d just have to replace them. When I got home, I looked through the car one last time – and found them under the passenger seat! No moral to the story… just someone’s way of making me get some good exercise!
