There are places where those concerns subside even to the point were the best possible option – a satellite phone can’t even help. Here is where I find myself today and for the weeks to come. Pushing a tiny 300mb image file into an even smaller pipe makes the worst days of dialup service feel like a T-1 line.
As a preemptive measure, since my faith in celestial connections is in serious question, I have drafted a post or two that Eliot has agreed to place on my behalf. Breaking just about every rule usually feels better than this, but I find myself with few options.
This image represents my idea of pushing the sensor beyond what I would normally do. Heading out long after sunset when my camera is almost always put away I shot deep into the twilight. Working the longer exposures against the pouring rain and fading light. Nothing about this image did I want to be worked in post except the color. It was an attempt to simply capture in camera the feeling of deep quiet, utter stillness and impending darkness.
