Having captured yesterday’s shot of the jetty in Ton Sai Bay, I walked out along the jetty to get a different angle on the fishing boats – a tighter framing. Below is the result rendered in black & white, and below that the color version. As an indication of how friendly I found the local people here, note the fisherman just left of center of the photo waving at me. It’s funny considering the changes in my photographic behavior pre and post digital. Pre digital I would shoot sparingly. I had to carry a bunch of rolls of film with me and ration the number of shots per day. I recently bought at 32Gb card that holds over 1,000 images from my Canon EOS 5D MarkII that I keep in continuous shoot mode, so I squeeze the shutter and it whirrs away. My ratio of keepers has gone down and the amount of images I need to edit through has exploded as a consequence.
