Description
A handheld early evening photograph of some colorful restrooms along a boardwalk. 0.4 second exposure, normal program, f/2.4, 50 ISO, 7.4mm, no flash. I'm not sure how I managed to get such a clear shot, but was glad. Minor adjustments in Photoshop, primarily to correct for lens distortion. Notice the planet Venus in the left top corner of the sky. It is shining so brightly right now, that it can even cast shadows! I don't know about you, but I'd avoid the toilet in the "crab" bathroom... ;'] ----- We in Florida are celebrating today, the last official day of Hurricane season. Let's hope that next year things are not quite so busy. Thanks for stopping by and for your heartfelt comments on my last photo, The Bridge.

Golly - vv impressive + lovely colours of the dusk. In Frech they say 'entre chien et loup' - literally 'between dog and wolf'
What marvellous colours! I don't see my sign :)) But, it matters not. You have an excellent gallery and I enjoy seeing your postings.
And did add it! great photo!
Venus? Oh, I see it! Wow, this is an interesting composition; what's up with the briny nightlights, though? This is great art (and just a LITTLE trippy).
well done...
Hand held? Okay Kort, your new nickname is Kort "The human tripod"...What a magical night shot! The glow from the creative lights, and that fabulous sky!! Wonderful!! An instant fav!
Very droll about the 'crab' LOL. I thought I spotted Venus last night, but then decided it was Jupiter. Just that once in a while we can get away will a hand-held slow shutter speed and isn't it a thrill when we do? Excellent night shot of these what we call Beach huts. Well done Kort!!!
Human tripod is right. Very impressive. What a great collection of colour and mood.
Perfect timing, magical lighting and interesting display. Excellent. Aloha
We cannot hope that the years to come will be less buzy about hurricanes while the governments of the richest countries still refuse to do anything to reduce the destruction process of our world, dear... And I'm not thinking exclusively about USA, even if I think especially about them... That's a splendid art work!
Excellent shot Kurt, I love it... As I love the sentense of Carl Sagan... Great Art!
O_o...NO TRIPOD??? 0.4s??? Oh my, youre one steady bloke arent ya. Amazing clarity with beautiful warm colors. For some reason im thinking you went to "Spongebob Squarepants-camp" or something with all those lampshades hanging above the doors. #:op Excellent...and IMPRESSIVE work Kort! Have a wonderful last-of-the-hurricane-season-day!!! #:O)
wow, looks fantastic, excellently done!!!! :=)
Thats just Dandy...yeah right!...single out Us misunderstood Cancerians...I hope You end up in the Toilet with a ....Ram!!!!
This is a great shot. Wow! nice for public restrooms. I'm not sure that using the Crab bathroom would be much worse than having a starfish as a diaper after exiting that one. KP
Wow! What a great shot! Very well done....and very interesting bathrooms. :)
awesome capture
A beautifull photography!Love the words of Carl Sagan!Even in our little corner of the galaxy,we need and avoid toilets.....Funny!
APPLAUDS!!! This is really wonderful.:O))
Tr originale ta photo, et super jolie, bravo !
I will take your advice about the crab ;0 - The light worked well here - really makes the shot !
Consider it part luck and part training to be able to hold still without movement. Now did you lean against anything? How about holding your breath? No matter what, It is a terrific shot, but please 'Crabs'! I am a cancer baby ;~)
Very lovely and original ! I love the colors and the idea. I'm impressed.... I can't take a shot like this without flash if I haven't my tripod... Maybe I'm too old.... I tremble a lot, it's terrible ! Lol ! Superb done Kort ! I also like the words of Carl Sagan...
it's an excellent photography with nice shade of light. have a good day
He he, good old Carl Sagan, long time ago I heard his name! :) Wonderful work, Venus as big as earth but oh so far away, even smaller than a bathroom here but still even on that distance casting shadows! Fantastic work, Kort!
awsome, pic and great colours, really nicely done:) cheers!
Missed this earlier...what a fantastic image. Congratulations on another gem!
What a neat pic! (And you have a helluva steadier hand than I do!)
I think I would avoid the crab changing room. very interesting lighting and professional quality
LOL!!!! Great colorful capture and yes stay away from the crab restroom.....don't want to catch anything. LOL!!!!
