Ferry Run

Great South Bay, Long Island

This shot may need some technical help but it comes with a story.
I had a visitor from the local anti-terrorism/Homeland Security police
last night. Very unnerving to say the least. I was questioned at length
regarding my having been "observed" taking photographs of the Ferry.

Lovely light! You really are able to exploit those magic hour golden light shots. Sorry about the HS thing.

I think the image is very good - and wow - they questioned you about taking this shot?

Wow, what great lighting on the bow wave!! Sounds like you earned it! To bad it has come to this. -BJ

That's this beard, Chris ;-) This image is technically very good, with the light in the water projected by the ferry. Voted.

Beautiful shot! I was stopped by Homeland security a few months ago, taking potos of the Ambassador Bridge ( the bridge links Detroit, Mi to Windsor, Ontario). He told me he could take my camera and destroy all photos!!

Nice picture and interesting description by Alida. This is a sorry state of affairs. Sharing is fun but invasion of privacy is not!

Beautiful shot Chris with the bow breaking the waves and tossing water into the air to be lighted by the low angled sun. Sorry you were disturbed by the Homeland Security folks but we live in interesting times. Vote.
