Bring a long lens

I don't always carry my big, er very big , 100-400 zoom; but when I do, I usually find something to point it at. Here I was standing on the other side of an inlet while the man on the other side was fishing and not really noticing me at all. I was all the way zoomed in at 400mm so the buildings behind the fisherman are foreshortened even though they are quite a distance away from where we were. I had to set the tripod as high as it would go to just barely get separation between the man's head and the rocks in the middle ground. The pre-dawn mist and lights also help this composition.

Fine image Erich. The fog adds a layer of mystery to the image.

Thank you. I think without the fog, this would not be much more than a record shot of where I was; but the fog, and to an extent the lights, raise it up a notch in my estimation. Thank you for taking a look.

The fisherman's stance, the substantial bulk of the jetty vs. the indistinct lights and buildings... fascinating, eye-catching!
I think it would look better, however, if straightened
If it was only the lights leaning left, probably OK, but the tipping buildings distract me.

When I took a quick look I thought might be military. He looked like he was holding a rifle and wearing a helmet. Once my eyes adjusted I could see how very wrong I was.😀
Overall I think it works out. The fog the distant lighting and building. I understand your explanation with your tripod height. But it looks like he cast his line into the rocks. Perhaps cropping some of those rocks out would solve that problem.

No military engagements here, just a battle for the biggest fish. Thanks for taking a look. Glad you liked the photo.

No military, just a guy fishing. Thanks for taking a look.
