Gloom over Lake Ontario March 3, 2008

Posted by tcbp in : Photography , trackback

Saturday I went up to Lake Ontario with a friend I hadn’t seen for a couple years to talk through some troubles with him. He wanted to walk out the pier on Charlotte Beach so I brought along my camera just in case it was worthwhile to snap a few pictures. Apparently the pier is usually closed off with an ineffective barrier of some sort but it was wide open and uncleared like the rest of the beach-park. That made for a slippery and unsteady walk, especially with the strong and wet crosswind and the sub-freezing temperatures.

We made it about halfway down the pier before the wind seemed to get stronger, and the waves hitting the pier were spraying us with miserably cold water. I knelt down to take a few photos and only got two, with the first one coming out crooked. This was the resulting image, which I originally ignored until I decided to play with a conversion to B&W because the color was not helping it any at all.

Additionally, I’ve been converting & saving out JPEGs of the rest of the Photo-A-Day project so far so galleries (which I promised weeks ago) should be coming up soon.
