Sunlight, cameras, action

Why is this my favourite photo? Well for me it really shows the capabilities of what the G2 can do. I took this on boxing day morning down the Vallette bathing pools in Guernsey. I went out for coffee about 7am and noticed it was going to be a cracker of a sunrise. The bathing pools are brilliant for sunrises. When I got there there was a lone fisherman. I started taking photos of him from various positions and settings. Then I noticed another photographer, Ian, had turned up. I said "hi" and we chatted for a wee bit. He is an old school photgrapher. 35mm film, tripod and glass filters. As for me I had my G2, Manfrotto tripod, panasonic remote release and LUMIX G VARIO 14-42/F3.5-5.6 lens. I then thought, why not get Ian and the fisherman into the shot. I moved positons and changed settings many times trying to get the right shot. The sun came up and I then went off home to check out the photos. Much to my suprise I had some pretty good shots. This one is by far the best one of the morning and the best I've ever taken. I have to thank the G2 for enchancing my abilities to take good qualitiy photos. If course it is the photographer who composes the the shot and sets the camera up but the G2 really makes the final product for quality. My viewpoint has changed on photography since using the G2. I try to make all my photos more artistic with the various setting on the camera. I think, Would that look good on a wall with that setting. This photo was taken on expressive mode and yes it would hang it on my wall. At the end of the day we all take photos to share specials moments we see and want to share that with others. And the responses and comments from others make it all worth while.
