Description A pier, battered by years of hurricanes, lies tattered along the Florida coast.

And if any of you are wondering what Marc ( =BeachDay ) is talking about in his comment below , please take a look at Tahoe Dock . Hard to believe that was two years ago this coming spring...

Yeah, that's it, the torii gates!
I think its probably a subconsious thing with you, being in Japan for so long. Good thing too.

Very nice shot Bill.

I have a bit of mixed feelings about the limited DOF. It gives the shot a nice feel, and a sharp focus/concentration on the foreground element, which is the interesting and important bit, but in the thumbnail I assumed the DOF was greater and as such was slightly let down... As far as limited DOF work goes you executed this VERY well, nice work.

billsabub In reply to CrazyMonkey-Ben [2007-01-07 16:01:43 +0000 UTC]

Thumbnails.

I did shoot one at f/11, but there was too much detail in the image, especially in the mussle shells, so it was quite distracting.

Sorry it let you down. But than you very much for sharing your thoughts on the image.

great composition! I love the sky.

Did you use a polarising filter?

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

billsabub In reply to oO-Stu-Oo [2007-01-07 15:56:45 +0000 UTC]

Definitely a polariser. Otherwise the sky would be a dull, dull element of the image.

Thank you!

I wish it was Australia. I sure miss that place. But Florida can do quite nicely from time to time.

Oh, definitely still shooting.

It's been further and further between shots lately due to life. That and the fact that I'm posting mainly at Flickr now means fewer shots here.

Man I've been waiting for shots from for forever!

and it was worth it this is a good one.
Lines for the win my friend, Lines.

Great color and texture. I like your use of depth of field. Reminds of that other pier shot you did. Infact this one could be the exact opposite world of that one. Cause that other one looks peaceful and serene and this one looks like it got ravaged!

Looking forward to more!

Thank you so much, Marc.

I've added a link for the newcomers based on your reference.



Regardless of my latest life activities, submissions here will be fewer and farther between, as you already know. But I will continue to drop one in on occasion.
