My 100mm f/3.5 Sonnar T C/Y arrived from Japan today and I'm anxious to try it out. This capture whets my appetite for getting out into nature with improved tools and seeing, at 80, if I can keep up with the real artists like Samuli! I must hurry. My shutter hasn't got that many more clicks in it!
My wife and son and I were making a travel film "Norwegian Summer" in 1976. It was a beautiful day, the gulls were flying alongside the ferry, the sky was deep blue and the Seven Sisters were cascading long tresses of crystalline glacier melt into the fjord. Everyone was in great spirits that day. SAS and Videroe Airlines loved the film and so did our audiences. This lovely scene evokes fond memories and that's what a well-planned, perfectly executed picture is supposed to do. Tak, J-B!
Samuli, your artistry takes my heart back to the 20 summers I spent in Northern Minnesota.
Ah, to be out on the lake with Mother and Father and a few friends, waiting for that tug on the line to set the hook!
