Skrivnost rumenega kajaka / The mystery of the yellow kayak

 

Fotografija ujame trenutek v času, ki bi naj bil neponovljiv. Še toliko bolj, če je predmet fotografije redek, tako kot na primer srečanje delfina v njegovem naravnem okolju s kajakašem...

Photography captures the moment in time that should be unique. Evenmore if the subject of the photo is something rare like dolphins in natural environment passing the kayaker...

 Zakaj se potem na fotografijah zadnjih treh let ves čas pojavlja eno in isto? In sicer delfin ali več njih in rumeni Seayak. So delfini nezmožni videti druge kajake? Kaj je tako zanimivega na rumenem polietilenu? Je vse skupaj del zarote? Kaj bi se zgodilo, če bi se ukvarjal s črno-belo fotografijo?

 Then why are the photographs from last three years showing the same scene? A dolphin (or dolphins) and a yellow Seayak that is. Are the dolphins unable to see other kayaks? What is so interesting about yellow polyethylene? Is everything a part of conspiracy? What would happen if I would be shooting black and white photos?  

Kaj smo se iz tega naučili? Če želite biti na fotografiji skupaj z delfini, veslajte v rumenem Prijonovem Seayaku; če želite fotografirati delfine skupaj z rumenim Seayakom, lahko izbirate med zelenim in rdečim Marlinom ter rumenim Motionom; ne spreminjajte barvnih nastavitev v črno-belo!

What did we learn from this? If you want to be on aphoto together with dolphins you should be paddling a yellow Seayak from Prijon; if you want to take a photo of dolphins and a yellow Seayak you can either paddle a green or red Marlin or a yellow Motion; don't use monochromatic settings!

Za poskus sem barvno fotografijo spremenil v črno-belo in po pričakovanju so delfini v trenutku izginili. Na žalost je izginil tudi kajakaš in do zdaj mi ga še ni uspelo najti. Na trdem disku ga ni, pravkar preverjam zunanjega...

As a test I converted a photo into B&W and as expected the dolphins disappeared immidiately. Sadly the kayaker disappeared too and I could't find him. He's not on my hard drive, I'm just checking the external drive...
