<waxing eloquently>

I have a deep affinity for sailing, so when my family went to Lake Erie last summer, my hope was to schedule a boat ride just once. We did. The Goodtime set out late afternoon, timed precisely to enjoy a good view of the sun setting over the lake.

Everything that fell in the wake of the evening sun became a shadow of itself, and I soon realized that my best shot might come before the fiery light would ever crash into the horizon. I knew that I had to be fast, though -- The boat was moving one way, the objects on the water another. Nothing remained in the sun's halo for more than a second, and it usually took twice that amount of time for my camera to remember what it was supposed to be doing.

And soon I saw the sailboat, and I anxiously prepared my camera, and I got the shot I was hoping for -- spot on.

I may be amateur at best, but I've come to learn that there are few things in art more gratifying than having a risk pan out well. With enough time and patience, many things can be created, but for others, one has to literally cease the moment, or lose it forever.

Beautiful! And it's even better because you know it's a chance shot. I mean, you knew what you wanted to capture, but I agree that it's less powerful when you try to set up the whole environment. Nice job!
