Rhythm & Blues

Folly Beach Fishing Pier, Folly Beach, SC  © Doug Hickok


Beneath the Folly Beach Fishing Pier, a repetition of pilings and the blurred motion of the sea add a jazzy rhythm to this twilight scene... hey, wait, a little rhythm, a little syncopation, a little improvisation... all of a sudden, I'm feeling kind of blue, a Miles Davis Kind of Blue.


This post is dedicated to MT.


Photography note: To accomplish this bluesy photo, I made a 5 second exposure to blur the ocean waves, and adjusted the camera shot setting to tungsten as the light faded to dusk.

  3. Yes, definitive a blue feeling. And as my eyes travel further into your picture my toughts flies further away. When my eyes reaches the end of the pier I'm lost in another reality.
    A magical picture, Doug!
