JUST FOLLOW THE WATERLINE: EOS Shooter with Headphones

            ꒌ АВЕЛИНГЕН је птичји резерват на обали највећег крака реке Рајне у Холандији - Мервејде. Овде зимују велике птичје колоније дивљих гусака и друге пернате господе.

NATUURPARK DE AVELINGEN, Boven-Hardinxveld aan de Merwede. Op missie om mijn nieuwe lensaanwinst Sigma 30mm f/1.4 uit te proberen in low light. Erg zacht vol open, teleurstellend voor een lens Made in Japan, met Affinity sliders lukt het vooralsnog enigzins scherper te krijgen.

► █░▓    IT'S A HARD JOB, but someone has to do it! Fire your Canon, as long as the cannons are still silent in your neighborhood.

NATURE RESORT De Avelingen, Boven-Hardinxveld in the province of South Holland. This is adjacent to the shore of Beneden Merwede river (hidden at the horizon). Birds become really active exactly at a time when there's no more sufficient light to shoot with usable shutter speed values.  Yet the full frame owners persist. 

This fellow photographer was so taken by his ideas, immersed in probably music (who knows?) from his closed-type headphones, that he remained completely unaware of my presence during several minutes in which we both took more shots. There was nobody else at the spot and I haven't even seen any birds nearby. 
Taken handheld. Technically precisely 30 minutes before the sunset, the sun was actually long gone behind a massive thick cloud layer far above the North Sea. In the available subdued light I chose the largest aperture of the fastest lens I since recently own. It is disappointingly soft wide open, but with aggressive sharpening in raw development the detail can be somewhat recovered. I tried in post to retain the original mood and light impression of the moment, so no contrast/levels/brightness boosting or similar techniques applied.
