Treading water - a photo on Flickriver

Treading water

            Better to embrace the discomfort of being different than the comfort of fitting in.
~ Ogwo David Emenike

I finally got out for a shooting day yesterday. It was cold and windy, but so refreshing! I went to Garry Point Park - never been there before. I'm not sure what these poles in the water are for - Googled it but couldn't find anything. It was cloudy when we got there, but very quickly the sun came out and it got very bright. I tried several long exposures but couldn't even see the LCD screen on my camera, so had no idea if any of them turned out till I got home, and this was the only one that did. I thought I would try something different with it. I don't normally do black and white, and I have a colour version too, but this one speaks to me.

I used my 10 stop and 6 stop Breakthrough Photography ND filters (for a total of 16 stops) on this image.
