Ignore the banal title - I couldn't think of anything good, so this is just a working title for now. Last weekend I went to a wedding, and the last shots I took were with available light so I had the WB set to incandescent. Of course I forgot to put it back to AWB afterwards. So last night Judy and I took a walk along the lake and I had the 18-55mm on the body (so no long shots) when I saw this kayaker skimming along a quiet bay. I took a few shots, chimped and saw that everything was deep blue (almost indigo) on the screen. Looked cool, but ~very~ unnatural. By the time I reset the WB (s)he was gone, so I converted to monochrome and went for the silhouette look (which it pretty much was anyway). I kind of like it:

Gonna do the last few beaver photos now and post those this morning. Be back in a minute.
