Due to my inherent procrastination and lack of pep (and time), I usually end up in the same 2-3 places (stretches of beach) just about every weekend. Since I still don't have the energy for hours long drives and to find hiking maps, I instead decided to try to find beach stretches that aren't normally visited, despite being close to my house. (relatively speaking).
This first attempt was a righteous flop, due to realizing only at the end that I'd left the camera's ISO settings on 1600. Yes, ISO 1600 on a bright summer day.
At any rate, take a look and feel free as always to leave as much commentary and critique as possible .

Carry a camera everywhere. Even to the public loo .

I asked permission 3-4 times until she understood me, she agreed, than 5 seconds later her large overly muscular brute of a husband came up and started yelling at me in Russian.
Conclusion? Either don't ask and avoid trouble, or get a written permission slip for the person you're asking. . (She told him, and he wandered off, scratching his neanderthalic brow).

Yeah, lame as hell. I wasted enough time trying this idea out, that i'll be damned if I don't show the attempt at least .

A special kind of charm.

Genius is always allowed some leeway, once the hammer has been pried from its hands and the blood has been cleaned up.
To improve is to change; to be perfect is to change often.
