It was extremely windy and my fingers were frozen. I didn't have a very thick coat, and neither did I have a hat or a scarf. However, I still spent a good 45 mins. outside and got a few shots I liked. the only problem I had was that I wasn't carrying my 18 - 55 mm lens and therefore missed a few more I thought could be interesting. These shots were handheld and were taken using a C-PL around 3:00 pm; the sun was already pretty low in the sky by then.
They Port Authorities have already moved these piers into storage, I think. I am certain I saw them out in the canal during the summer.

I was fascinated by those black.. umm.. thingies. So, I used my lens as binoculars, but I still can't tell what they are. However, I got beautifully saturated colours because of the C-PL and I liked the windswept white reed-like flowers in the foreground.

Incidentally, I love these blue tiles and I had been wanting to do this shot for a long time now, but the light or the time I checked it out earlier were never right. Today it just seemed perfect! The dappled light really makes the blue pop!
55 mm, f/4.0, 1/30s, ISO 100, Manual Mode
This image was taken through a glass window. The C-PL wasn't good enough to cut out all the reflections, so I put the lens right up against the glass and took the shot.

I was really pleased with this one as this was handheld on a really slow-shutter and I only added a little bit of sharpening in post. The colours and exposure are as they were in the original. I'm pretty proud of this one.
