Stormy Fishing

Description


Going out to conquer the sea
Just my fishing rod and me
Let the rain hit me in the face
Let the wind freeze me through my pants
Throwing my cord out to the waves
I'm a desperate fisherman trying to be brave
The weather won't break as hard as he tries
Nothing can take away my will to feel I'm alive


****

Tel Aviv sea on a very stormy day.
You probably want to know what in hell I was thinking, going to take photographs in that weather, and with a new sensitive camera.
Well, it's a lot like this fisherman that has very little chance of catching anything in that weather... he just wants to feel life.

OK,
been getting some comments about it looking "unreal".
Let me just say that there is no manipulation here.
The F3.5 at 175 focal length, on a full frame, gets you this much DOF. It's a fact not a manipulation.
I did some contrast, USM (Un Sharp Mask) and Noise reduction. That's it.

windy rainy days is the best time to catch fish. its just most people are people and too scared of a little weather. basically the wind create more waves which wash around more food for fish rain creates disturbance on water top makes fish not be able to see you fishing for them as good either. also another bonus when the weather is a little crazier there is a lot less people fishing so you can usually hit all your fav spots with no one around.  nice pic
