Love how you bring such awesome scenes to us! Feels like we are right there in the water. The black and whites and the one with hint of color are my favs. These Remind me of a neat pier restaurant we went to on west coast – Moonshadows I think it was called. Thanks! dsup

These photos brought back memories of piers and docks in NC where we used to have the most wonderful seafood restaurants built into the docks ,,, we knew the catch was fresh… Rustic, weathered, no matter..
Those pilings supported important stuff! As do they still… Love the photos. Linda

I think I got that from the English translation on your blog– do enlighten me– what is your name?
LikeLike
No, no Jane… you have been right! I think I never translated my wordpress-name, but the google translator makes “light throng” out of it. I do not think that this meets the word, that I wanted to impress. Light crowd is better. At least, it might not be really translateable, because the german word has got “overtones”. Perhaps “swarm” would meet it in some way…
How would this sound to your native speaker ears:”light swarm”? 🙂

Hi Stefan– Honestly, “light swarm” doesn’t quite make sense in English. The closest I can get is “gathering light” or “light gatherer”. Fun discussion!
LikeLike
This really is funny! Sort of ” self finding” 😉
Isn’t gathering = collecting? If so, this is not, what I liked to impress.
Perhaps “bustling light” makes sense… It seems to me, that light is in some way a chaotic thing. So many influences – Not only one Source and One camera or eye.

Oups – sent too early…
I wanted to add, that a photographer is sort of a fisherman, fishing in an ocean of light photons swarming around. 🙂
