I think I need to get a new camera.

This one's getting old, and worn-out, and it's starting to act weird.

And today would have been a damnably-difficult day to shoot, even with a good camera.

The light was weird. The opaque color of the water was weird. And the stupid clouds refused to stay put, and even frame-to-frame in the same sequence, the light would just refuse to stay the same.

And the poor camera kept trying to find white-balance, and was unable to do so, and then, for no fucking reason at all, Moiré patterns started showing up, and I had to beat the hell out of things in post-process to suppress that crap, and all in all... not so good.

And of course Marie could not have cared less about any of my light, and color, and equipment woes.

And she's been bearing down on this stuff. And she's starting to get results.

And even though it was a little rough around the edges, and the waves were weird, too.

She just swept all that crap right out of her mind, and went right at it.

And it turned out pretty damn good for her.

But I STILL wish the fucked-up colors were better, anyway. Sigh.
