The Albatros Departs

[Pete Askew]

Arona is probably more appealing in daylight than at night (http://www.realphotographersforum.com/forum/threads/pizza-beer-then-a-stroll.13876/#post-105602). Took a walk this morning in the wonderful early autumn light after breakfast before returning to the hotel to work before my meeting this afternoon. Took a short break to process a couple of images.

Leica M9 + Leica 35mm Sumilux M f1:1.4. ISO160, 1/1000s at f1:5.6. PP in LR / Nik ColorFX 4.

Nice view...nice shot Pete. Nothing better than a morning stroll along the water.

Still no beer! (You are clearly being ornery!)

Lovely colors. I almost missed the wee man at the end of the jetty. Once I saw him he perfectly completed the image for me. Very cool, Pete.

Thanks Brian - no beer yet today, I was working - mind, I've finished now!

Actually, he was caused me to stop. I watched him walk down the jetty in his uniform and wanted to get him directing the action but the boat (out of frame) came in on the other side.

Thanks Aldous. I gave the cigar a miss!
