On a recent photo-walk with Nikhil and Sharon on the seawalls up the East Coast of Demerara, I found myself looking at the scenes around me and shooting without really thinking too much about it, almost on automatic. I saw things to photograph, they caught my eye and I took a few snaps.
I wasn’t inspired, and I thought to myself that I’d be coming away with something “normal”, something that I would be happy with but not overjoyed.
On the walk back to the vehicle, I happened to walk under a fisherman’s shed, and the scene that caught my eye was different in a few ways from all that I had seen, nothing spectacular, but just different enough for me, and I stopped, took the time to set up the camera for a few bracketed exposures, and took two sets of exposures for later HDR-processing.
This was the result: At Rest.

Funny sometimes how the most unpromising of situations can result in a great photo. I think when you are feeling uninspired sometimes, your eyes take in more than you think they do.
I don’t know about that Nikhil, but I was certainly glad to come away with something this good 🙂
Hi Michael. Man you really have good eyes for for a great photo scene. Love it. Kind regards. Cecil
Thanks Cecil! I need to exercise those eyes some more 🙂 Looking at my office walls and work is not helping them 🙂
Hi Michael. You know, I am looking at the photograph again. There are so many things so beautiful about the photo. I just felt compelled to say again. “Great photo” :o) Regards. Cecil
Thanks again Cecil, when a photo of mine makes you go back looking again, I am more than pleased, it means it holds more interest than just for a cursory glance 🙂 Muchas Gracias!!
