Slice of the Nightlife

From my Beach Club Trip Report…..
"So tonight, it was time to break out the tripod. I sort of picked out some shots I wanted to get, from the night before; but I pretty much just went with the flow. I was able to shoot for about 10 minutes at Stormalong Bay, before getting kicked out (closing time); but continued to get a few shots from just outside the roped off area. I’m sure I seemed desperate to get pool shots from this outer area, but I was going for a creative view. So I could see myself shooting from that spot even if the pool was still open. Afterwards, I made my way to the lighthouse, the Yacht Club, and eventually over to the Dolphin. Sure, I got a few pictures of the Dolphin at night; but I was quite intrigued by a glass that someone had left on the bridge that links the Boardwalk to the Swan & Dolphin. The glass was half empty with a lime at bottom; and was sitting on top of a pillar to the bridge railing. I’m always on the lookout for unique shot opportunities like this (without actually setting up anything myself); so it was fun spending quite a bit of time with this prop, with the Boardwalk Inn in the background.
One of the unique situations you sometimes run into when walking around with your "big camera", is when an alcohol induced person asks you if you want to take their picture. It happened twice to me while on this bridge. First, there were a group of 3 young ladies who asked. I kinda smiled and didn’t say anything. Next, there were these 2 couples (well, 2 ladies and 2 guys anyway), and one of the women asked. I actually tried to take her picture, just for the heck of it. I attempted this without holding the camera up and focusing it on her (so ‘from the hip’, for you photogs our there), but the camera didn’t fire (night shots like this can be iffy sometimes). I mainly did it for her amusement though. Plus, it would’ve been a cool photo memento from my nightly shooting. Oh well, maybe next time…. and I KNOW there will be a next time (hmmm… maybe a new photo series in the works). And in case you’re wondering, all of these people were headed towards Jellyrolls. I can only imagine how many requests I would get if I was over there AFTER Jellyrolls closed!?!?!?! So after spending just a little more time at the Boardwalk itself, it was time to head back ‘home’. We had another character breakfast lined up for tomorrow."
