This is another quick and dirty edit. I don't really have the time to spend much time editing lately so took about five minute to throw about 6 curve layers on here and a white balance shift. My favorite shot of the day is going to sit dormant for a while until I can figure out how to process it.
I spotted Charlie Widdis, local photographer and only other yahoo to brave the -12f this morning out on the rocks. The breakwater is completely exposed to the wind and damn it was chilly. I was hoping that there would be some seasmoke coming up over the breakwater but low tides combined with biting winds kept the smoke from really rising up in this area. To the right, the bay was filled with billowing smoke but no real interest.
Spent the morning playing with the telephoto to compress the smoke for a little more drama. I only popped the wide angle on for a few shots including this one. I always forget that just because you can't see something on your 2 inch lcd (in this case the seasmoke or lighthouse) doesn't mean that it won't turn out when viewed on a 27 inch monitor.
Interesting tidbit that I have now learned about walking on breakwaters in the winter over the last few days. Make sure you are probing where you step ahead of you. Not sure how many near disastrous steps I almost took into the crevices between the rocks.
