Solitude

Note: Shot through a dark blue filter (don't recall which one)

January 1, 2009 — I just uploaded a replacement to the original I've had posted here since 2003. Up until now, the image was unmanipulated, but this replacement includes some very minor enhancements, so minor that you would only see them by comparing the two side-by-side. But, I did play.

The irony here is that the photo was manipulated from the very beginning, as it was manipulated in the camera during exposure, via filtration.

It was just moment before sunrise, and a low fog covered the lake. I could clearly see the mountains on the opposite side, but because the fog reflected the blue of the sky, it was a simple job of losing everything beyond the boat.

This was shot in 1977 or 1978.
