It was a wonderfully peaceful and foggy morning at the pond in Troy NY's Oakwood Cemetery.
Image right out of camera except for a slight reduction in color temp. and a little dodging.
From the top, an impressive plateau, it is possible to contemplate the entire city of Rio and its surroundings – it is possible to see the Sugar Loaf, Christ the Redeemer, the beaches of Copacabana, Ipanema, São Conrado and Barra da Tijuca, and even the mountains of Serra of the Organs. It's an unforgettable sight!
PS. Me being photographed by one of my guides, Marcelo Kastrup (Adrena Rio).
I think there’s an unspoken law of photography, older than the hills and more binding than the laws of physics. It goes like this: at some point, every photographer will take a photo of their camera taking a photo. It’s inevitable. Like taxes. Or seagulls.
This is my entry into that ancient ritual. Back when I was shuffling loyalties from Canon to Olympus, I had the tripod set up, the lake glowing like a postcard, and the reeds whispering something rude about my framing. And there was the Canon, staring out across the water as if it knew better than me what to do. Which it did. But at least I had the presence of mind to immortalise one of the last times I used the old Canon, on a sunset shoot at the lake, with my tripod-free Oly. These days I barely remember what a tripod looks like — laziness being a stronger gravitational force for me than the moon.
Did I ever mention my old Canon used to enjoy playing cards - Snap was its favourite.
Have you done the taking a photo of your camera in action, with another camera or phone? If so, then it’s a grand tradition. If not, well… I’m just a ninny. 😉
Thank you to everyone who takes the time to comment, it is greatly appreciated!
