A side note for the folks who do not live by the sea and don't know until they're in the water and wondering if they'll see dry land again. Or, "Where the hell is my Leica?" Robert's shot of Peggy's Cove is a fine photo given the danger that lurks nearby when you do not understand the ways of the sea. In the photo it looks peaceful and serene, beautiful conditions, right? Beautiful photograph. Well out there in that vast ocean are "rogue waves" just looking for, well OK not quite, but people standing nearby on the rocks or shore completely unaware they are about to be picked up and swept away in the blink of a shutter! It's prudent when shooting by the ocean anytime to keep an eye at what's going on towards the water, even more so, if the sea is running high. You know those beauty waves that look wonderful as you capture them exploding on the rocky crags. There are stories of deep inland holidaying folks at the seaside enjoying a wonderful look and picture taking at Peggy's Cove or like looking locations when .... Sploosh!!!! They are in the sea struggling for their lives. So take care out there my friends when you think it's just another pretty lighthouse for your Leica to record. Let's not be reading any obit's here. ted Ted Grant Photography Limited www.islandnet.com/~tedgrant Ted Grant Photography Limited www.islandnet.com/~tedgrant - ----- Original Message ----- From: "Eric" <ericm@pobox.com> To: <leica-users@mejac.palo-alto.ca.us> Sent: Tuesday, March 12, 2002 8:19 AM Subject: [Leica] Re: Robert Stevens PAW 10 Lighthouse > Robert: > > >http://home.istar.ca/~robsteve/photography/PAW2002/wk10.htm > > Nice!
