Description

Twilight...on an early winter's evening in June this year, at Wyee Point, NSW Australia... These three lads decided to try their hands at fishing...as it happened, sadly, unsuccessfully!! Some adjustments made using PS CS, & filtered using Neat Image... Taken hand-held 1/30 sec @ f2.8, ISO 104, & 38mm digital focal length...

Thank you Carol, Patricia, and Karen! So glad you enjoyed my 'Twilight Fishing' image...I'm only sorry to have been so long replying to your great comments though!

Phil and I had had lunch at this beautiful location, and then spent a further few hours just relaxing and enjoying the surroundings... These local boys arrived to try some fishing just as the last of the daylight was fading, and I thought they would add some human interest to my final few shots of the day! ;)

Thanks again... Carolyn :) #940606

Thanks, Norm - I wholeheartedly agree with your comment!!
