Default Old Man and the Sea

Storm in the Gulf 8-4-09 (41)

Camera: Pentax K100d
Date: 8/4/09 9:53 am
Focal Length: 18mm
Aperture: F8.0
ISO: 200
Exposure compensation: -1.0

I was out on the beach taking pictures of the storm, when the fisherman came walking by.
I wish I would have taken more as he past but I didn't. I love the contrast in the colors of the sky, water and the sand.

Hope you like it

I like the greens and blues in the sky and water. Too bad you didn't shoot more. It would have been nice to get the fisherman a little more into the frame and slightly closer.

Still, nice shot.

I can't remember what I was thinking at the time, but it was the only one that I took with him in it. Thanks for the feed back.

Very nice capture. I love the fisherman. I have never seen the ocean look so green. Looks like a pretty big storm rolling in there.
