Life is Pretty Good

Yesterday I had a great day out with The Girlfriend at East Coast Park. We spotted this old timer who looks like heâs having a jolly good time under the sun too.
I’m quite pleased with the quality of the light that day; hence this is one of the few shots in this site which is not radically processed.
Technically, this is the first post shot with my spanking new 70-200L f/4. Ever since Iâve migrated to Canon, I was convinced that my shooting style do not warrant a tele of that range. Instead I simply rented or borrowed one whenever the need arises. Alas the shopping itch finally got to me, so I took the plunge and bought it.

Superb capture Imran, the lighting was great it seems. And congrats for the new lens, looking forward to more shots.
Lovely shot. The composition and colors are wonderful. Definitely congrats on that lens…I love mine.
Great detail with nicely saturated colours. Good buy, hope to see more (I hope the chair is stong).
Nice capture. The colour saturation is spot on.
Great Composition, great colors, great shot by all meaning. nice one
haha great shot. i like the way you’ve framed it and captured the moment.
Heh … can’t wait to see how he turned out on the holga.
Lovely capture of the lazing man. The lighting is cool and the blue color adds a lot to the pic.

Amazing Capture, Logging a comment after so many days
Great Capture Imran! The canon 70-200 is fantastic!
Great colours in this shot – looks like the guy is living a good life!
And after we insinuate that French are some big pretending people!
Imran, I am a fan of this shot. Here’s a thought though– The bright yellow of the line in the fishing reel distracts my eye from being able to fix on a single focal point, which is, I imagine, all the hairy detail of the man or perhaps the bottle at his side. Then again, perhaps as a fisherman, my eye is trained to notice such things… Nice work on this site though. What do you do for a living?
Good shot and nap!
Great color and composition, fantastic shot as always!
haha great shot. would be a nice one for my compu-desktop
btw. 70-200/4l will be my next lens. anyway its the only L thats affordable..
