I accompanied my father and his friend on one of their Oystering/Clamming mornings. I was hoping to capture some of the quietness of the activity while still hinting at the muddy work involved. We started right after dawn and continued for a couple hours. I took pictures on a Pentax 645N, 645Z and a Nikon F5. The early pictures in the day caught golden hour and I was using the digital camera at that time, but when the light changed I started using the film cameras. Unfortunately, like an idiot, I forgot to throw on the GND filter and the exposures didn't end up like I wanted them to so most of what you see here is from the digital beast at golden hour (and after with the GND).
