Alone

Got inspired by some of my friend Shawn’s work on the Orton effect and tried it out too.

It was really foggy so I felt the effect added to the mood.

Thanks Shawn for teaching me something new.

    Thanks Shelly – you should have seen this place about an 1.5 hours before I took this. Thick pea-soup! I walked right past this boat without seeing it.

    Serene and mysterious… I found myself squinting to look through the fog trying to see the background :-) Great use of Orton – It doesn’t look like you submitted it to the Orton group, or are they being slow to react?

  • Vikram Franklin replied

    There’s a whole group on this? Gotta join. The fog was actually that thick that morning. The first time I walked by, I didn’t see the boat.
